Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has stirred widespread debate after predicting that a currently serving president will pass away before 2027.
The cleric made the declaration during a recent sermon, stating that the incident could occur at any time between now and the next election cycle.
However, he did not mention any country or identify a specific president, leaving the prophecy open to broad interpretation.
Following the statement, social media platforms were flooded with reactions, with many Nigerians questioning the credibility, timing, and scope of the prophecy.
Some users argued that the prediction was vague and statistically convenient, given the number of countries led by presidents worldwide.
Others dismissed it as attention-seeking, while a few supporters insisted that Ayodele’s past prophecies warranted caution.
The comment has once again reignited public debate around prophecies, politics, and accountability, as Nigerians continue to scrutinise religious predictions with growing scepticism.
