Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies May Sting, But His Heart Beats for All Tribes
*Primate Ayodele’s Prophecies May Sting, But His Heart Beats for All Tribes*
By Nnamdi Akhere
Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, is well-renowned for his prophetic prowess. Whenever prophecy is mentioned in Nigeria, Primate Ayodele’s name inevitably comes up, even among those who do not believe in him.
However, beyond the prophecies he is famous for, many have yet to observe his unspoken love for every tribe and tongue, including Yorubas, Igbos, Hausas, and others. On the religious front, Primate Ayodele is the only Christian cleric known to have preached at a Muslim Ramadan lecture. He is also the only one who publicly announced he would build a mosque — a project he has begun, expected to be completed in 2026.
Although some of his controversial prophecies about certain individuals or groups may seem personal, it is important to understand that prophecies are divine statements and warnings. They come unfiltered from the throne of Heaven. To those without understanding, it may appear that the prophet is attacking them, but that is far from the truth.
For example, before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerged as Nigeria’s president, Primate Ayodele warned that the Yoruba presidency was under threat. He stated that unless Yoruba candidates stopped quarreling and worked together, the tribe could lose the presidency.
He said:
“Yoruba should shun quarrel; otherwise, the presidency will elude them. The Lord has told me that Yoruba presidency is under threat. It will elude them unless they immediately work together. Yoruba presidency is shaking, and that’s what I see.”
“The Yorubas have credible candidates, but the northerners are watching. Yorubas don’t struggle for things, but there is a spirit of discord among the credible candidates, causing serious quarrel. It is seriously shaking.”
Some interpreted this prophecy as Primate Ayodele working against the Yorubas and, in some quarters, even called him a “bastard,” expecting him to support Yoruba presidency simply because he is Yoruba. However, prophecy is not about the tribe of the vessel. Once God commands a message to be delivered, it must be spoken as revealed. This does not mean he opposes the Yoruba people or their progress; he is simply answerable to his Maker.
Recently, Primate Ayodele advised President Tinubu not to rely on the northerners for his 2027 re-election bid, warning that they would not support him. Some perceived this as hate speech against northerners, but the message was meant solely for President Tinubu.
Similarly, Primate Ayodele has spoken to the Igbos regarding their bid to rule Nigeria. He noted that the tribe faces curses of its own making that must be reversed. He emphasized that the Igbos’ challenges come from within and that stronger leadership is required if they wish to rule the nation.
In 2023, he stated:
“Sincerely, without mincing words, the next president should come from the Igbo; it’s unfortunate that they are not serious with their intentions because a political force is struggling with it. Otherwise, Igbo will never see the presidency till kingdom comes.”
“Igbo must wake up now; otherwise, they will betray themselves from producing the next president of Nigeria. The South and North should step down for Igbo, let them be used as consensus candidates. This can happen if the Igbo know what they want. Are they ready? Either they will perform or not; without misconception, it is Igbo’s turn, but if they fail, their present leaders will be cursed by their great-grandchildren.”
When it came to the Senate President election, Primate Ayodele urged Igbo lawmakers to unite in order to produce one of their own as Senate President, warning that failure to do so would sideline their region.
He said:
“Igbo lawmakers need to be more united than ever before to push one of their own to become the next Senate President. If they fail, the region will be sidelined in this incoming government. God doesn’t approve this Muslim-Muslim government; it will still create a lot of problems and will be one of the worst governments so far.”
Beyond prophecies, Primate Ayodele’s church welcomes members from almost every tribe without issue. His philanthropic gestures touch every tribe and tongue. Tribal affiliation is never a requirement to receive help; as long as one is human and in need, the prophet is ready to help as God provides.
Recently, he celebrated one of his pastors, Walter Akachukwu, by giving him N1 million during a live service and even helped replace the roof of his house in a single day. Pastor Akachukwu, who is Igbo, said he had never seen N1 million in his life before this gift and testified that the prophet has done several incredible things for him.
For the month of November, Primate Ayodele dedicated each Sunday to a particular tribe: last Sunday was for the Igbos, this Sunday is for the Ilajes, with other Sundays set aside for Hausas and other tribes. This reflects the church’s inclusive philosophy: INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church admits everyone regardless of religion or tribe.
Primate Ayodele is, without doubt, a prophet who loves everyone regardless of their background. Following the example of Jesus Christ, he exemplifies religious and tribal tolerance in Nigeria.
COAS Launches Nationwide Security Renewal Mission in Plateau
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, on Thursday led a high-level delegation of security chiefs to Plateau State, flagging off a nationwide security renewal mission aimed at strengthening civil-military cooperation and restoring lasting peace across the country.
The visit to Jos, the Plateau State capital, marks the first phase of a coordinated national effort to address persistent security challenges through joint operations, community engagement, and proactive intelligence gathering.
Governor Caleb Muftwang received the delegation, describing the initiative as a critical step toward stabilizing affected communities and reinforcing public confidence in security institutions.
Civil-Military Synergy Takes Centre Stage
At the heart of the mission is a renewed emphasis on collaboration between the military, civil authorities, and local communities. Speaking during the visit, Lt. Gen. Shaibu stressed that national security must be treated as a collective responsibility.
He urged citizens to support security agencies by remaining vigilant, sharing credible information, and complying with lawful directives, noting that effective security cannot be achieved in isolation.
Community Engagement as Confidence-Building Tool
In a departure from purely operational engagements, the Army Chief held direct consultations with community leaders and residents in Jos, reinforcing the importance of trust and dialogue in conflict resolution.
Lawmakers, including Dachung Bagos and Ladi Dangyok, commended the initiative, stating that visible engagement by top military leadership helps rebuild confidence among citizens and fosters cooperation.
Proactive Security Operations Underway
Operational updates were provided by Major General Folusho Oyinlola, who disclosed that troops under Operation Enduring Peace have intensified surveillance, intelligence-led patrols, and coordinated actions with other security agencies.
According to the Army, the approach is designed to prevent escalation of threats, safeguard lives and property, and stabilize vulnerable communities before crises emerge.
A Shift Toward Sustainable Peace
Military authorities emphasized that the Plateau visit is part of a broader, long-term strategy to transition from reactive responses to sustainable peacebuilding nationwide. The framework includes strengthening local resilience, ensuring justice, and maintaining continuous engagement with stakeholders.
Analysts view the initiative as a significant policy shift, reflecting a more inclusive security architecture that integrates community participation with military operations.
Call for National Unity
The Army leadership concluded with an appeal to Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and support ongoing efforts to promote unity and peace.
“The success of this mission depends not only on the armed forces but on the cooperation of every citizen,” the COAS stated.
The nationwide security renewal campaign is expected to extend to other regions in the coming weeks as authorities seek to consolidate gains and build a safer, more unified Nigeria.
IGP Disu Visits Plateau, Orders Tactical Deployment To Reinforce Security
The Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on Thursday paid a working visit to Plateau State following recent unrest, holding strategic talks with Governor Caleb Muftwang on measures to strengthen security and prevent further disturbances.
As part of immediate steps to stabilise the situation, the police chief authorised the deployment of specialised tactical units to support officers already on ground across affected areas.
Governor Muftwang commended the swift intervention of the police leadership, praising the dedication and professionalism of security personnel working to restore calm. He also acknowledged the efforts of mobile police officers and lauded the leadership of the state’s Commissioner of Police, Bassey Ewah.
Both the Nigeria Police Force and the Plateau State Government reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding lives and property, stressing that enhanced collaboration remains key to restoring lasting peace in Plateau State, popularly known as the Home of Peace and Tourism.
Grace Nation Worldwide: A Living Reality – Dr. Chris Okafor
……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”
The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.
The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.
Testimonies of God’s Power
One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.
Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.
These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.
God Works by Principle, Not Gossip
In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.
The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.
