2027: Kwankwaso will betray your presidential ambition, Primate Ayodele warns Peter Obi
The Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a stark warning to the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, claiming that his political ally, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will ultimately derail his 2027 presidential ambition.
In a statement released on Sunday by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the cleric claimed that Obi’s intense focus on the presidency has blinded him to the political undercurrents threatening his future.
According to Primate Ayodele, the former Anambra State governor’s failure to heed spiritual guidance has led him into an unstable political alliance. He alleged that Kwankwaso, the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, has already compromised Obi’s political prospects.

“Peter Obi doesn’t listen to divine instructions, and because of this, he has fallen into the wrong hands for his ambition,” Ayodele stated. “Kwankwaso isn’t ready to fight for him; he will eventually sell him out, but he doesn’t know it yet. He has already muddled Obi’s presidential ambition.”
The cleric emphasized that Kwankwaso’s political maneuvers are driven purely by self-interest rather than a genuine commitment to a shared national agenda.
Clarifying his stance, Primate Ayodele maintained that his prophecies are not born out of malice toward the former Labour Party standard-bearer, but are rather an honest assessment of Obi’s political standing.
“Kwankwaso is doing everything for his personal interest and nothing more. I wish Obi’s eyes could be opened to what is happening around him, but he can’t see it,” the cleric added. “I don’t hate Peter Obi. I love him and his courage, but he is not yet mature for the position he is seeking.”

Ayodele concluded with a grim projection, warning that the true nature of the alliance would soon come to light, though potentially too late for the Obi camp to salvage their strategy.
“Kwankwaso’s plans will soon be exposed, but it will be too late for Peter Obi because he has gone very deep into it,” Ayodele warned.
Despite this, Kwankwaso remains defiant about his political grip on Kano, recently declaring, “We’ll work to reduce APC’s votes to 15,000 in Kano” ahead of the 2027 cycle, while simultaneously labeling the traditional influence of Northern elders on candidate selection as “undemocratic.”
