Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has warned opposition political parties about the 2027 presidential election.

In a statement on Tuesday, Ayodele emphasized that a united opposition front is the only way to unseat President Bola Tinubu.

He advised major opposition parties such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to form a coalition, or their efforts would be in vain.

Ayodele explained that without a collective strategy and a strong, capable candidate, the opposition would face certain defeat.

He remarked, “If PDP, Labour, NNPP don’t unite to form a coalition and propose one rugged and solid candidate for the 2027 presidential election, they won’t be able to unseat President Tinubu.”

Further criticizing the PDP’s internal dynamics, Ayodele warned that if the party fielded former Vice President Atiku Abubakar again, it would result in a “disaster.”

He added that no current PDP governor had the necessary strength to challenge Tinubu’s presidency.

“If PDP decides to field Atiku, it will be a disaster, they will lose the election,” Ayodele said. “There is no sitting governor in the PDP who has the capacity to become president in 2027. They are not strong enough.”

As the 2027 election approaches, Ayodele’s remarks highlight the growing pressure for opposition unity if the opposition is to have a fighting chance against the incumbent president.
