Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, has sent a notable warning message to Bashir Adeniyi, the comptroller-general of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and Nwakuche Ndidi, the controller-general of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

In a statement on Friday, February 27, signed by his media aide Osho Oluwatosin and sent to Legit.ng, Primate Ayodele warned that both appointees of President Tinubu could be removed from office if they are not careful.

Primate Ayodele warns Tinubu's appointees

Primate Ayodele claimed that the Customs boss and NCos controller-general have been pencilled down for removal by President Bola Tinubu before the end of the current administration, while advising them to seek the face of God fervently to avoid it.

The cleric said: “The Customs boss, Bashir Adewale and the controller-general of Nigerian Correctional Service need to be very watchful against removal from office. I see their names being penned down for replacement already, except they seek the face of God.

“They need to pray against a bad record that will see them out of office. They should take this seriously because if care is not taken, they will be removed before the end of the current administration.”

Ayodele predicts ministers, IGP challenges

Furthermore, Primate Ayodele stated that some ministers will not return if President Tinubu secures a second term in office.

Commenting on Tunji Disu’s appointment as the new inspector-general of police (IGP), Primate Ayodele said he is a good person but will face significant challenges.

His words:

“The new IGP has good plans, but he will be seriously challenged and fought, especially regarding the election. He needs to be careful and watch his back. Not everyone is happy with him. I see some plots against him.”
