The spiritual head of the INRI Evangelical Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has predicted that Atiku Abubakar will be picked as the candidate of the anti-President Bola Tinubu coalition.
The Lagos-based cleric said this recently in a video posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle.
Ayodele speaks as opposition forms coalition
Ayodele ruled out the possibility of coalition members like Rotimi Amaechi and Nasir El-Rufai emerging as the group's presidential candidate with respect to the 2027 election.
He said:
“The coalition people are going to pick Atiku. Atiku is their candidate, not even El-Rufai, not even Amaechi or whoever. No. But there is a clause.”
Primate Ayodele added: “It is not fully guaranteed that the ruling party [the All Progressives Congress - APC] can win. If they do not obey [my words], they can lose.”

ADC: Nigeria's opposition leaders form alliance
Legit.ng reported that Nigeria's opposition leaders on Wednesday, July 2, unveiled a new coalition which they say is aimed at unseating the ruling party in Africa’s biggest democracy ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The coalition unveiling took place at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.
The Africa Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, challenging President Tinubu's APC party, is believed to be led by Atiku and Peter Obi, both runners-up in the 2023 presidential vote.
Other prominent figures who attended the ADC event on Wednesday, July 2, include former Governors Jibrilla Bindow (Adamawa), Emeka Ihedioha (Imo), Rotimi Amaechi and Aminu Tambuwal, former Governor of Osun, Rauf Aregbesola, and Dino Melaye.
