Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has prophesied that either Peter Obi or Rotimi Amaechi will emerge as the Vice Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The controversial cleric made this known in a recent video, where he stated that God had revealed to him an upcoming wave of political alignments and realignments that would reshape Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

According to him, Obi, a former presidential candidate, and Amaechi, a former presidential aspirant, have a divine role to play in the projected political transformation of the country, particularly in the formation of a new coalition aimed at strengthening the ADC and positioning it as a major opposition force.

The cleric’s statement reads in part: “I see new alliances forming, and I see the ADC becoming a major platform of attraction. Either Peter Obi or Rotimi Amaechi will be considered for a vice-presidential role under the party. Nigerians should pray because the coming election will shock many.”

Recall that both politicians are de facto members of the coalition that unveiled the ADC ahead of the 2027 general elections. The two have also declared interest in contesting the presidential seat.

Political analysts have projected that the ADC presidential ticket may go to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who championed the call for opposition unity, urging political leaders to come together to defeat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Atiku and several opposition figures, including Obi and Amaechi, have expressed confidence in unseating Tinubu in the next election cycle and have been making strategic efforts to position themselves for the contest and end the APC’s dominance at the polls.
