Tinubu in Trouble? Primate Ayodele Says Trump Wants Him Out

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu, alleging that former US President Donald Trump is scheming to remove him from office. In a statement released by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the cleric claimed that Trump has “caged” Tinubu and is determined to see him ousted.

According to Primate Ayodele, the US’s support for Nigeria’s fight against insecurity is a façade, designed to gain influence within the government. “Trump is set on removing President Tinubu. America will play a role in opposing him. You may not perceive it, but that is his goal, and nothing else,” the cleric stated.

He further insisted that Trump’s focus is not on tackling insecurity in Nigeria. “Whether Nigeria succeeds or fails in curbing insecurity, Trump’s main objective is to unseat Tinubu. He knows exactly what he wants and is relentless in pursuing it,” Primate Ayodele warned.

The spiritual leader advised President Tinubu to take decisive political actions to counter what he described as a covert plot. “Tinubu must act boldly and strategize carefully, or he risks being defeated while his adversaries celebrate,” he concluded.
