Primate Elijah Ayodele Predicts Ruto’s 2027 Victory Amid Controversy
Primate Elijah Ayodele leads the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos, Nigeria. He founded the ministry in 1994 and has served for over 30 years. Moreover, he remains one of Africa’s most controversial prophetic voices.
Ayodele is married and has children, although he keeps his family private. Over the years, he has built a strong following across Africa.
Consequently, his prophecies often attract political attention.
Ayodele Predicts Ruto’s 2027 Re-Election
The Nigerian cleric now claims that William Ruto could win re-election in 2027. Previously, he predicted Ruto’s victory in the 2022 General Election.
In his latest prophecy released on February 20, he outlined specific conditions. According to Ayodele, a weak opposition will guarantee Ruto’s second term.
He argued that only a united and powerful coalition can unseat the president. Therefore, fragmented alliances may strengthen Ruto’s political grip. He further stated that re-election would weaken opposition forces significantly. Additionally, he warned that new economic policies could shake the economy.
Opposition Fragmentation Remains Key Factor
Ayodele emphasized that disunity remains the opposition’s biggest challenge. Without strategic coordination, he believes their efforts will collapse.
Currently, early political alignments are already shaping the 2027 race. As a result, his remarks have sparked debate within Kenya’s political circles.
Regional Warnings Across Africa
Beyond Kenya, Ayodele issued warnings to other African nations.
In South Sudan, he predicted continued stagnation and possible conflict. He claimed internal divisions around leadership could fuel instability.
Similarly, he warned that clashes in Sudan may persist. He urged rival factions to form a government of national unity. Furthermore, he cautioned about foreign interference in Sudan’s democratic process.
In Uganda, he predicted political tension and a possible coup attempt.
Earlier Warning on Ruto’s Government
In January, Ayodele warned that President Ruto may face economic difficulties. He also predicted attempts to destabilize the government. Additionally, he claimed the president could lose a trusted ally before elections.
However, he did not reveal the identity of that ally.
As 2027 approaches, Ayodele’s prophecies continue shaping political conversations in Kenya.
US Politics Prediction Missed
Primate Elijah Ayodele predicted Kamala Harris would win the 2024 U.S. presidential election. However, Donald Trump ultimately secured victory. Consequently, this forecast failed, drawing widespread attention.
Liverpool vs Luton Forecast Fails
He confidently claimed Liverpool would beat Luton Town by more than two goals in the Premier League. Instead, the match ended in a draw, highlighting the inaccuracy of his football prediction.
Super Eagles and AFCON Misjudgment
Before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Ayodele warned Ademola Lookman would underperform. Conversely, Lookman became one of Nigeria’s standout players, scoring and assisting crucial goals.
Election Predictions That Didn’t Materialize
He also predicted President Goodluck Jonathan would remain in office until 2019 and dominate regional elections. However, opposition victories contradicted these forecasts.
Security and Miscellaneous Errors
Ayodele warned of Boko Haram bombings in southern Nigeria and Ebola outbreaks, which did not occur. Likewise, claims about Joachim Löw coaching a team were false.
Public Reaction
Critics argue these repeated failures question the accuracy of his prophecies. Many observers highlight the gap between his claims and actual events.
