They must be careful not to create a religious tension that will go across the nation. Tinubu must show wisdom otherwise, a lot of things will come out from it,” he said.Primate Elijah Ayodele says some people publicly supporting Tinubu may privately be dissatisfied and withdraw their backing in 2027.

Even in Lagos State, it will be hot; he shouldn’t think it will be bread and butter. The election will be a very tough one for him; even in Oyo and Osun, it won’t be all that smooth in the South West,” the cleric said.He went further to list additional states across different geopolitical zones where he believes the president needs to put in serious work, naming Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Niger, Bayelsa, Imo, Enugu, Delta, Benue, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.”All these states are still shaking. It may not be easy for the president in these places.
He must work very hard and perfect all that is needed,” Ayodele said.Read more on 2027 election2027 election: Peter Obi speaks on rumoured agreement with Goodluck Jonathan to sack President Tinubu”2027 Not turn of south east”: Umahi declares as Peter Obi releases bold statement2027 election: VDM warns Nigerians about Goodluck Jonathan and PDP, “he is sponsored by Tinubu”ChatGPT predicts winner of 2027 electionEarlier, Legit.ng reported that ChatGPT predicted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would likely win Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, using the Four Horsemen framework.It cited the opposition coalition but said the APC has the edge due to possible low voter turnout and the Tinubu administration’s efforts to stabilise the economy.Disclaimer: This article discusses prophetic claims for commentary and informational purposes.
