Prophetic Missteps: Primate Elijah Ayodele’s Record Of Unfulfilled Predictions And NNPCL
Boss Prophets are highly revered personalities because of their spiritual prowess to foretell what would happen at a particular point in the future. Their divine inspiration, interpretation and revelation of events to come are considered sacred because of the potent propensity for undiluted manifestation. However, when prophesies repeatedly fail the test of divinity to come into reality, such outbursts can be best described as foul cries or ‘mercantile prophecy’
Primate Ayodele is a man of controversies often entangled in the webs of failed prophesies. And this dated to a very long time.
The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, as a high ranking religious leader, have always shrouded his personality in obscurity. Primate Ayodele and his endless prophetic contradictions have a long history.
In January 2013, the spiritual leader predicted that God showed him that former president Goodluck Jonathan would continue to rule till 2019. But the prophesy never get to see the light of the day.
“The 2015 elections will hold but will be peaceful in some areas and not in other areas. As it is, from what I see at the moment, PDP will win, amidst serious criticism.
“Kaduna is going to be very bloody. PDP may take Kaduna, but it’s going to be by narrow margin. Yobe, Gombe, Benue, Delta, Akwa Ibom, all those states will be won by PDP,” he said.
On the contrary, after the election, Kaduna was calm and not bloody. APC’s candidate, Nasiru el-Rufai, won the governorship election, beating PDP’s Ramalan Yero. Also, the PDP missed clinching Yobe and Benue governorship seats as the primate had predicted. Former President Goodluck Jonathan was evenly defeated that he made a phone call to congratulate President Buhari even before the final results were announced.
Similarly, the self-acclaimed prophet, predicted that the former INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, would let Nigerians down during the 2015 election.
“I predicted that (former Independent National Electoral Commission chairman, Prof Maurice) Iwu will be removed and it came to pass. Let me tell you categorically that (Prof Attahiru) Jega does not have a solution to election rigging in Nigeria. Jega will disappoint Nigerians’
“Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega will be confused during the polls. There will be several gimmicks to cajole the INEC to rig the election. Prayers must be offered so that the commission will not lose some of its staff to accident or attack before and during the election. E-voting will not work. There will be ballot box snatching and stuffing during the election.”
However, the direct opposite happened as Prof. Attahiru Jega performed exceptionally well and conducted one of the most credible elections in the history of the country.
There was a time that Primate Ayodele prophesied that Boko Haram terrorists will bomb South-west.
“I see flames from bombings in several parts of the country, including the South-West and more abduction of school pupils. Efforts should be intensified by security operatives to forestall that. Boko Haram will come up with different strategies to attack the nation,” he said.
Thankfully, the Islamist extremists are yet to penetrate any attack in South-west, Nigeria.
Again, in February 2023, the INRI leader predicted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, would emerge as the next president of Nigeria.
In a statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele even warned Atiku against neglecting all God-given policies if he doesn’t want to see the wrath of God.
His words; “Among these three candidates, Atiku has been given an assignment from God to fix the nation within four years. If God gives Atiku victory in this election, he is to use only four years for this special assignment.
“If he wins and refuses to do the will of God for the people, he will see the wrath of God.
“He will not complete his term because God’s anger will be placed on him. His assignment is to form an all-inclusive government, take care of security within six months, restructure before his term ends, reduce petroleum prices, fix the education sector, and revive the economy.”
However, the then presidential flag-bearer of All Progressive Congress, Bola Tinubu, won the election with over 3 million votes against Atiku Abubakar.
Quite similarly, Primate Ayodele predicted that late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has high chances to win the 2021 Anambra State governorship election.
Speaking on Ubah’s chances in his predictions on the hotly contested election, Primate Ayodele said that “victory is surrounding him.”
However, Ubah was resoundingly defeated by Governor Chukwuma Soludo, then governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
Primate Ayodele and his Unending Troubles
Many high ranking Nigerians have severally disputed Primate Ayodele over his controversial prophesies.
In 2021, the presidential spokesman of former President Muhammedu Buhari, Femi Adesina, took a swipe at the man of God over a prophecy that Nigeria would disintegrate by 2040 and that there’s nothing anybody could do about it.
Adesina, in his article titled, ‘Some Prophets See Nothing’, however, advised Mr. Ayodele to abandon his prophecy ministry and focus on preaching the good news.
The former presidential aide got this to say about him: “He does great things in terms of welfare for his flock. He empowers them with cash and materials they can use to set up themselves gainfully. I was impressed with that. But the prophetic aspect?…the Book, that Good Book, tells us how we know a false prophet from a genuine one. The false says something, and it does not come to pass. And he continues to strut and fret his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. His tales are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
“But for Primate Ayodele, let him focus on touching lives through preaching the gospel, and empowering of many people. It has great gains now and in eternity.”
Similarly, former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, chided the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church over his 2021 Africa Cup of Nations prediction against Nigeria.
Ayodele had predicted that the Super Eagles, will not win the AFCON, which kicks off in Cameroon on January 9, 2022.
In a tweet via his verified Twitter handle, Sani said the Ayodele only predicted that Nigeria would not win, but failed to state who the winners would be.
He said, “My Brother Primate Ayodele prophesied that Super Eagles will not win AFCON but refused to prophesy which country will win.”
In addition, former deputy governors in Abia, Ebonyi, Kano, Sokoto and Taraba States rejected a prophecy released by the Spiritual head of INRI Evangelistic Spiritual Church.
The self-acclaimed prophet had in the prophecy said that the four deputy governors would have issues with their principals (governors) before the end of their tenure.
But in a swift reaction, Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State, Dr Kelechi Igwe, who spoke on behalf of other deputy governors, faulted the cleric on his prediction and accused him of concocting prophecies that had no foundation in reality.
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored this so called prophecy but doing so could create the impression that we believe him or that that he should be taken seriously.
“We make bold to state that this prophecy like the ones before it are fallacies meant to create tension, rancour and unnecessary friction in the polity.
“We vehemently reject this so called prophesy which in our own estimation is nothing but a figment of the imagination of the man who released it.
“We all have had and still have very good working relationship with our bosses in our various states and do not see any reason for the predicted crisis.
“We urge the government and the good people in our various states to ignore Primate Elijah Ayodele for he knows not what he is saying or doing.
“Primate Ayodele could not have heard from God because he has been in the business of releasing false prophecies at every turn in the politics of Nigeria and the world.”
When he descended on Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, asking the governor not to waste money and time running for a second term as he would be roundly defeated, that also did not materialise.
One Ikenna Samuelson, a human rights activist, in a write-up, dismissed Ayodele as a businessman and Bet Naija Prophet.
He said, “From his 2022 Prophesies on Imo State Affairs, one can rightly see that Elijah Ayodele is just a hustler.
“In the first place, a true Prophet of Almighty God does not prophesy through a Media Aide. A true Prophet speaks as he is directed by the spirit of God. Also, a true Prophet Of Almighty God makes accurate prophesies on issues of concern.
Again, Nigerians dragged Prophet Elijah Ayodele after Liverpool drew against Luton Town.
Primate Elijah Ayodele came under heavy fire after his prophecy about the Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Luton turned out to be false.
Primate Ayodele versus NNPCL ‘prophetic outburst’
In his latest outing on Saturday, August 10, 2024, the social media was awash with a prophesy from Primate Ayodele, calling on president Bola Tinubu to sack the group managing director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Commission Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, to avoid mother-of-all protest in his administration.
In a less than two minutes video clip obtained from Twitter, the Prophet said: “One of the major important things Tinubu should do if he wants to see the prayers of Nigerians. He should sack the GMD of the NNPC. If it is possible, he should be sacked before the end of this month otherwise another big protest is coming . This protest can sack Tinubu and can make Tinubu’s government ungovernable. If he doesn’t do this urgently, Tinubu would put himself into hot pot. Sack the NNPC. There are a lot of rots in the NNPC. Protest not yet over. I’m seeing another protest that would seize the economy for 120 hours.”
Primates outburst on NNPCL; another awaiting failed prophesy?
Yes, this may not be far from true considering landmark achievements made by the NNPCL under Mele Kyari.
Since July 8, 2019, when Mele Kyari officially took over as the 19th group managing director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPCL), the company has made significant improvement on transparency as well as gas development.
The Kyari-led management has sustained the corporation’s Monthly Financial & Operations Reports (MFOR) in line with the TAPE vision. NNPCL remains the only national oil company that publishes its financial and operations reports monthly globally.
The GMD also led the corporation to enlist with the Global Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) as an EITI supporting company which places NNPC in the group of over 65 extractive companies, state-owned enterprises committed to observing transparency and accountability standards defined by EITI.
Another key achievement of the NNPC under the leadership of Mallam Kyari on transparency terrain is the successful completion of a controversy-free recruitment exercise for 1,000 young graduate trainees to rejuvenate the corporation’s talent mix.
With over thirty (30) years of experience in the Oil and Gas Industry, Mr. Kyari made significant contributions to the success of NNPC and Nigeria. Under his distinguished leadership, the Company recorded huge profit after tax and the trend has continued under his supervision.
He optimally secured Federation entitlements from production and fiscal arrangements while also managing the Direct Sale of crude oil and Direct Purchase of petroleum products (DSDP) arrangement to ensure National Energy Security. Kyari has been instrumental in championing transparency and accountability, promoting the passage of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021 and driving the transition of NNPC to NNPC Limited.
Primate Ayodele may have taken sides in the ongoing misunderstanding in the nation’s hydrocarbon community. Using his platform to rally support for the oil cabal, he sends message to the President, who was not visible in his vision in 2023. Fortunately President Tinubu knows Primate Ayodele better than Kyari.
*Warns President To Do 3 Things To Win 2027 Elections
If there is one prophet presently in Nigeria that has established himself clearly as an oracle, one that foretells accurately what the future holds for different prominent individuals and the country at large, that prophet is no other than Primate Ayodele Elijah, the founder and leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual church. Over the years, he has distinguished himself as different from the rest of the crowd. He is a different breed of prophet. What stands him out distinctly is his ability to hear from the Lord and make prophecies long before they happen.
For instance, in 2022, one of the most popular videos from any prophet back then, was the viral video of Primate Ayodele warning Nigerians not to vote for President Tinubu because, according to him, the country would be plunged into severe economic hardship if he is voted into office. And that’s exactly what happened. But today, Primate Ayodele has another fresh prophecy that changes everything, something many Nigerians will be delighted to hear about. Below is his response when he spoke to City People Editor, WALE LAWAL (08037209290) recently.
What is his position on the gale of defections by many PDP members, including governors and ex-governors to the ruling party, APC, he was asked?
“I have said this before, go and look through our previous prophecies. Maybe a lot of Nigerians are surprised, but I am not the least surprised about this. I specifically mentioned the PDP governors that will defect to the APC and it is all coming to light now. This was what the Lord told me would happen since last year.”
“Now, there is something I want to tell you Nigerians and it is very, very critical and it is important that they listen to me very attentively. I am sure many Nigerians will remember that, in 2022, I was the prophet who warned that they should not vote for President Tinubu and that if they do, the country will be doomed and things will go from bad to worse, right? And it turned out as I foretold. Now, I am the same person coming out strongly to tell Nigerians that, it is that same man, Tinubu, that will take us to the Promised land, and they have to take it or leave it. I said it that the economy will be in shambles if he becomes president, I said the prices of petroleum product will be at an all time high and there will be hardship everywhere. I am now telling you that the same man, come 2027, is the best person for the job. He is the one God will use to turn things around and Nigerians will be happy again.”
“As for Atiku, if he becomes the next president of Nigeria, Nigerians will be in perpetual shock at the outcome of how terrible things will become in the country! If it’s Peter Obi, I am telling you Nigeria will no longer be on the map of the world! If it’s Aminu Tambuwal, Nigeria will crash in only a matter of months. If it’s El-Rufai, Nigeria will be buried for life!”
“I am sure a lot of Nigerians are wondering, what is this man saying? I am saying exactly what I know, exactly what God has told me. When I said the last time that Nigerians would not vote for the best candidate at the time, people said I collected money from Atiku, now that I have declared that the best man for the job is President Tinubu, let them come and tell me I have collected money from Tinubu as well. They say all of these because they do not understand who a prophet is. A prophet is dynamic. A prophet must not be one sided, he must listen to the word of God. Tinubu is the man that will make Nigeria better. And the coming 2027 elections will be largely influenced by ethnicity. And Tinubu’s vote will seriously divide the north.”
Meanwhile, there are three people that must not come out to contest, if they do, Tinubu is in trouble! His re-election for a second term will be in crisis. I will not mention the names now, if I must do that, I will speak to only the appropriate person and that’s the president. I want to speak with the president himself and if he likes, let him listen to me because there are three things the president must do to guarantee his re-election for a second term. If he does not do those three things, he will lose the election, I can guarantee him that. He needs to do these very critical things, three of them, before he can be guaranteed of victory in 2027.”
“As for the President’s wife, she must be careful and guide against being poisoned. She must change her cook.”
Primate was asked to comment on the moves by prominent politicians and the opposition to form what they consider a powerful coalition against the President and his government.
“All these coalitions they are forming all over the place is not new to me, people leaving one party for another party has never been an issue with me. I knew all this would happen and we said so. So, its not new,” Primate Ayodele stated.
The highly revered prophet launched into other areas of governance and politics.
“Adebayo Adelabu cannot become governor of Oyo state. If APC gives him their ticket it is going to be nothing but a wasted vote. If they give it to him, the APC will lose disgracefully.”
“In Anambra state, Uwachukwu Nicholas cannot unseat Soludo as governor. Let him run to anywhere he wants, he cannot succeed unless he does some very significant and needful things that will enhance his chances. But limiting his chances to his own capacity and ideas alone, he should forget it, he will not win the Anambra election.
In Osun state, PDP will still retain power. If APC brings back Oyetola, they will lose the election so disgracefully that the APC in Osun state will go into oblivion. Nobody will remember APC again in Osun state.
Outside of politics, I see Eleganza being set ablaze and shoprite. In addition, I am seeing that hundreds of herdsmen will be killed and they will be chased out of the country. I also see the end of militants fighting themselves.
Eggs will become scarce. We must pay attention to our international airports to ensure that no shooting targetted against a VIP takes place.
IGP Egbetokun will go. Then, I must not forget to reveal that Nyesom Wike, the Attorney General of the federation and Ribadu will be engulfed in a very serious fight.
I warned Fubara that he must not go against the FG, he must use the government for government. He has listened to my warnings now, I had released the warning since October 2024. If he follows my advice to him, I am telling you, Fubara will come back, he will go for a second term and he will win.”

Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy Fulfilled As Burkina Faso Junta Leader Escapes Coup Attempt (VIDEO)
In the African continent, there is hardly any country Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has not made his prophetic mark. His prophecies have always made serious impact in the continent and there isn’t any significant event that happens without him first prophesying it.
When the continent experienced series of coup that ushered in Military government in Gabon, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, there were videos of Primate Ayodele specifically warning the presidents of these countries to be careful of a military intervention.
A few years ago, the prophet also foretold the breakup of ECOWAS, A body that houses the governments of countries in the West African region, but it was unbelievable and no one thought it would ever happen. However, to the surprise of many, about four countries decided to pull out of the body to form their own organization last year. Despite the intervention of the body’s leaders to make them stay, the countries stood by their decision, and now, ECOWAS is short of four countries, fulfilling Primate Ayodele’s prophecy about the body.
Worthy of note is his recent fulfillment of the transformation of Gabon’s military leader to a civilian government. He had said it shortly after the coup that ousted former president Ali Bongo that the junta leader would transform to a civilian government. Just few weeks ago, the military leader, Brice Oligui won a presidential election.
Apart from all of these, Primate Ayodele’s prophecy warning the military leader of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore has once again being fulfilled. The prophet, in a video shot in March 2025, said that Ibrahim Traore will face another coup attempt but he will survive it.
“They will have so many issues against him, they will plot so many things against him. Ibrahim Troare will overcome all of these, and they will want to sponsor a group of soldiers against him, but they will fail. He is not a person you can push. He will still become a democratic president, so he must put his house together”.
In fulfillment of this prophecy, Burkina Faso’s military junta claimed Monday to have foiled a “major plot in the making” aimed at “sowing total chaos”, saying it believed the masterminds were in neighbouring Ivory Coast.
A dozen military personnel, including two officers, were arrested last week after being accused by supporters of the junta of planning to “destabilise” the government, security sources told AFP on Monday.
