Ayodele releases far-reaching prophecies on Nigeria, global affairs

Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has released his much-anticipated prophecies for Nigeria and the world, covering 2025, 2026, and beyond, during his annual prophetic news conference in Lagos.

The session, which drew journalists, political observers, and members of the public, combined scriptural exposition, national warnings, personal exhortations, and far-reaching prophetic declarations touching governance, security, economy, and global affairs.

Opening the session on Saturday, Ayodele expressed gratitude to God “who spared our lives to see another end of the year”.

He appreciated media organisations that have consistently covered his annual prophecies over the years. 

He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting media platforms, stressing that the role of the press remains crucial in helping society “refocus.”

Using biblical references from the books of Kings and Chronicles, the cleric emphasised that true prophecy is not about pleasing leaders or echoing public opinion.

“Some people want us to speak their hearts, not the heart of God,” he said, noting that prophets are often misunderstood, attacked, or misrepresented because they refuse to compromise divine messages.

Drawing from scriptural examples, Primate Ayodele reminded the audience that time remains the ultimate judge of truth. “Do not fight for your name. Let time fight for you,” he declared. “The same people who laughed will bow their heads in shame. God will defend you silently and bless you loudly.”

He also urged Nigerians to cultivate positive thinking, warning that persistent negativity attracts problems. “If you think of blessings, you will attract blessings. If you think of problems, you will attract problems,” he said.

A significant portion of the prophetic session focused on Nigeria’s political future, especially ahead of the 2027 general election.

Primate Ayodele warned of internal betrayals, political realignments, and rising opposition pressure, stating that some elder statesmen and former allies would turn against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to him, the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) must pay attention to the South East, North Central, and North East regions, while opposition figures should also “be prepared for unexpected betrayals.”

He foretold that vote-buying, electoral malpractice, and attacks on electoral institutions would continue to pose threats, warning that some INEC offices could be targeted and that election officials would require heightened protection.

The cleric also predicted:

Cabinet reshuffles within the Tinubu administration

Political protests driven by economic hardship

Tensions within the National Assembly

Disagreements between lawmakers and leadership figures

Despite these challenges, he noted that the government would attempt to stabilise food prices and fight inflation, even as economic pressures persist.

On security, Primate Ayodele cautioned against disunity within Nigeria’s security architecture, warning that internal divisions could weaken national response to threats. He urged prayers against terrorism taking “a new dimension” and advised churches, schools, and public institutions to tighten security.

He also warned of possible attacks on political figures, protests against government policies, and attempts to destabilise the country through misinformation and propaganda.

The prophecy also touched Nigeria’s financial sector, with warnings that:

Some banks would experience leadership changes

Financial scandals would be exposed

The Central Bank of Nigeria would face compliance-related pressures

Electricity supply would remain unstable and costly.

Ayodele added that while refinery interventions could help reduce fuel prices, Nigerians should remain prayerful against fire outbreaks, gas explosions, and infrastructure failures. He also added that President Tinubu and Aloko Dangote would fight.

Beyond Nigeria, Primate Ayodele released prophecies concerning global instability. He warned of:

Political crises in the United Kingdom

Heightened tensions between the United States, China, Russia, NATO, and the EU

Ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza

Earthquakes and flooding in parts of Europe and Asia

Aviation-related incidents requiring prayer and caution.

He also called for prayers for African leaders, warning that several countries could experience political unrest, leadership challenges, and foreign interference.

In his concluding remarks, Primate Ayodele stressed the spiritual foundation of leadership and success, insisting that no nation or individual thrives without spiritual alignment.

“Everything is controlled by the spirit world,” he said. “If you are not spiritually inclined, you cannot get there. Life without God is equal to failure.”

Responding to questions from journalists, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele used the session to further explain why his prophecies often address presidents, governments, and national affairs. He said prophecy has always been linked to leadership and power, drawing examples from the Bible.

He referenced the biblical account of Joseph and Pharaoh, noting that even ancient kings depended on spiritual insight to make decisions that shaped nations. According to him: “A king is a president,” stressing that nations are spiritual entities before they are political ones.

Primate Ayodele rejected claims that speaking on politics makes him partisan. He insisted that prophets are not sent to please leaders or oppose them, but to speak the heart of God, regardless of how uncomfortable the message may be.

Addressing concerns about negative prophecies, he explained that warnings are not meant to instill fear but to provoke caution, prayer, and corrective action. He added that many prophecies are conditional and can be averted if leaders and citizens respond wisely.

The cleric also dismissed allegations that prophecy is driven by financial motives, stating that divine intervention differs from person to person and cannot be reduced to money. He maintained that no one rises without spiritual preparation, whether through prayer, fasting, praise, or obedience.

On leadership ambition, Primate Ayodele warned that seeking power without God is futile. “Life without God is equal to failure,” he said, urging those pursuing influence to understand that spiritual alignment matters as much as strategy.

He concluded by reiterating that prophecy is meant to guide nations, not destroy them, adding that his constant prayer is that negative outcomes should never come to pass.

The session ended with prayers for Nigeria, its leaders, the media, religious institutions, and global peace, as well as empowerment support for media organisations and publishers.

As usual, the prophecies are expected to generate debate across political, religious, and public spheres, continuing Primate Ayodele’s long-standing role as one of Nigeria’s most controversial and closely followed prophetic voices.
