Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has released a set of prophetic warnings concerning Nigeria’s outlook in 2026, addressing national stability and the political trajectories of several high-profile figures.
According to the cleric, the year ahead could present sensitive moments for the country, requiring caution, unity, and proactive leadership. He warned of rising political tension and advised authorities to strengthen institutions, prioritize dialogue, and address underlying economic and security challenges to prevent unrest. His message emphasized the need for vigilance, particularly as political activities begin to intensify ahead of future electoral cycles.
Primate Ayodele also spoke about the presidency, offering counsel on governance, public trust, and decision-making. He urged the nation’s leadership to focus on policies that ease economic hardship, reduce insecurity, and foster national cohesion. The cleric stressed that public confidence would depend largely on transparent governance and visible improvements in citizens’ welfare.
In his remarks on opposition politics, he referenced prominent political figures, cautioning them to approach alliances, ambitions, and public engagements with wisdom. He suggested that internal disagreements and strategic missteps could affect political fortunes if not carefully managed. The warnings were framed as guidance rather than predictions of certainty, with an emphasis on making corrective choices early.
The prophecy also touched on ongoing national issues, including separatist agitations and legal matters involving notable individuals. Primate Ayodele advised restraint, dialogue, and adherence to the rule of law, noting that unresolved tensions could continue to influence the national mood if not properly addressed.
Beyond politics, the cleric highlighted broader concerns such as insecurity, economic pressure, and social discontent. He called on religious leaders, traditional institutions, and civil society to play active roles in promoting peace, moral responsibility, and national unity. According to him, collective effort would be necessary to navigate potential challenges in the year ahead.
Primate Ayodele concluded by urging Nigerians to remain prayerful and alert, while encouraging leaders at all levels to act with humility and foresight. He maintained that while difficult moments may arise, timely action and responsible leadership could help steer the country toward stability and progress in 2026.
