Controversial cleric, Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos has cautioned former President Goodluck Jonathan to be mindful of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should he decide to contest the 2027 presidential election.

According to him, the largest opposition party is cursed and anyone who gambles on contesting for the presidency in its name has a lot of work to do.

This was disclosed in a signed statement by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin.

He said that there are other viable political parties whose platforms can be used to capture political power.

“If Jonathan wants to come out of PDP, he will do a lot of work because there is a curse on the party already; there are other parties he can come out from that are better than PDP,” he said.

Furthermore, Primate Ayodele prophesied that the former president 'will be blindfolded by wrong advice', while warning him to be sure of what he wants to do because if he loses, he will be embarrassed by his past.

He said: “Jonathan will be blindfolded, wrong advisers will destroy his dreams, and if he contests and loses, he will be embarrassed by his past and face disrespect.”

While the rumors persist, President Jonathan has yet to declare his intention to run for the presidency.
