Insecurity: How President Tinubu Is Following Primate Ayodele’s Directives Back-to-Back
When a strange event happens once or twice, one can describe it as a coincidence, but when it happens more than three times, it’s beyond a coincidence; it has become a habit or reality.
This is what best describes the decisions taken by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in ending insecurity in Nigeria and the spiritual directives that have been given by Primate Elijah Ayodele at different times about ending insecurity in the country.
It is no news that the security system of the country has deteriorated due to the influx of kidnapping events and bandit activities across the nation. For weeks, there have been several confirmed reports of kidnappings and killings, most especially in the northern part of the nation.
Among these activities are attacks on churches during service, abduction of pastors, students, and even military personnel. It’s been tough for the country of Nigeria.
Meanwhile, before the whole issue began, Primate Ayodele had said in the early days of Tinubu’s government that insecurity and ethnicity would be his major challenges. He also mentioned that kidnapping will be a major issue for the president. He had also revealed that America would be one of Tinubu’s major opponents, and right before our eyes, everything the prophet said is happening like a movie.
When the insecurity crisis began fully months ago, Primate Ayodele advised the president to change his service chiefs because it would put his government into crisis as they weren’t doing their jobs well. The prophet mentioned that the president has to let go of some of them.
These were his words:
“If they begin to kill soldiers, it means the Chief of Army Staff isn’t active. He should go and relax and allow an active person to take over. Even the CDS, too, isn’t active.
“Insecurity can vacate state governors from their positions, and I am seeing a state of emergency in some states already. In places like Benue, Abuja, Ondo, Adamawa, Kogi, Yobe, Plateau, Bauchi and some others, we need very active service chiefs to curb this crisis.”
In acknowledgement of the prophet’s directives, President Tinubu reshuffled his service chiefs at a time when nobody expected, dismissing the Chief Defence Staff, removing the Chief of Army Staff from his position and bringing in someone else to fill the position.
When the situation got more serious, Primate Ayodele advised the president to order the Nigerian Navy to carry out 24-hour surveillance in affected areas, just like it’s done during the election period. He encouraged the president to make the move to curb insecurity in the country.
These were his words:
“When there is insecurity everywhere will be in disarray; let the air run their aircraft in areas where we have problems. During elections, we see planes flying around; this should be done in those areas. The IGP, COAS, should relocate to these areas where we have problems….”
Just a few days after he gave the directive, President Tinubu declared a national security emergency and ordered the Navy to ensure surveillance of the affected areas in the country.
Again, Primate Ayodele advised Tinubu to allow the creation of state, regional and local government police to help the security agencies with fighting banditry in the nation. Even though the government had not shown support for state policing, the prophet listed it as one of the solutions to bring insecurity to an end.
These were his words:
“President Tinubu should approve the creation of state police, federal police, and regional police; it will help to cushion the effect of insecurity in the country.
Security agencies should rise and focus more on security and the economy now. They need to take efforts to bring down bushes across Nigeria because that’s where they are hiding.”
Just within a few days after the prophet gave this advice, President Tinubu approved the creation of state police, while calling on the DSS to deploy forest guards to the bushes to send terrorists packing.
The prophet’s most recent statement, which was shared last week during a live service in his church, was regarding the minister of defence and the security situation of the country. Primate Ayodele called on Tinubu to change the defence minister because it is only a military person who deserves to be there.
He then asked the president to call back former generals and specifically mentioned Musa Christopher, the former CDS, to form part of his security advisers, and let go of politicians from such sensitive positions
“Call Musa Christopher to form a team of ex-generals that will be giving advice. Those who have been in the service before have met with them, drawn from their advice, and will help your government. Make a military person the minister of defence, don’t put someone who doesn’t understand the terrain, don’t make a politician the minister of defence, put an ex-general there.”
Just as Primate Ayodele said, the Minister of Defence announced his resignation yesterday due to ‘health grounds’ even though reports have it that he was asked to resign by the president. In the same breath, the former CDS, Christopher Musa, met with President Tinubu yesterday and has now been nominated as the new minister of defence, as Primate Ayodele advised.
These events have highlighted the importance of having prophets like Primate Elijah Ayodele and listening to their advice because God speaks through them. It’s commendable that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu listens to God’s servant, and we can tell by all indications that if everything the prophet advises is followed to the end, insecurity will be forgotten in the nation.
By Adetola Olowu, Niger
Some months ago, the United States of America designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) due to the alleged incessant killings of Christians in several parts of the country.
The U.S. government frowned at the killings, claiming that the country is being ruled by Muslims, and vowed that there would be boots on the ground to protect Christians who are allegedly being killed daily by Islamic extremists.
While this highlights a serious issue, it also points to the fact that the country suffers from a gross lack of religious tolerance. When the U.S. made these allegations against Muslims, clerics from the other religion corroborated the statements, alleging that there are plans to Islamize Nigeria.
In many parts of the country, Muslims and Christians are seen as opposing sides, whereas in reality, they worship the same God but in different ways and traditions. Nigeria now appears to be a country where both religions cannot tolerate each other; they openly criticize one another and often incite their members against each other.
Amid this situation, a popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has gracefully offered himself as a bridge-builder between Christians and Muslims. He has taken it upon himself to ensure that religious tolerance is embraced in the country and to give Nigeria a better global outlook.
Primate Ayodele has long associated with Muslims. Many often wonder about the God they call upon in his church because it is common to see Muslims wearing hijabs attending his church services without any form of discrimination. He has attended Ramadan lectures where he preached, and he has openly identified with Islamic clerics on several occasions. During the Ramadan period, he is known for always sharing food with the Muslim community, and when the fasting ends, he goes further by giving out chickens, bags of rice, cash gifts, and other items to dedicated Muslims. This has been happening for decades.
When the U.S. government accused Nigeria of allowing Christian genocide, Primate Ayodele, despite being a prominent Christian cleric, dismissed the allegation. He clarified that Christians are not the only ones affected by the attacks, as Muslims are also victims. He told President Donald Trump that instead of being described as Christian genocide, it should be framed as religious genocide since both religions are targets of the attacks.
As expected, Primate Ayodele faced backlash for his clarification, with many calling him different names. However, he did not back down; rather, he continued preaching against the narrative of Christian genocide.
As if that was not enough, Primate Ayodele went further to build a mosque—a development that is extremely rare. As a pastor, even going near a mosque is often viewed by some as controversial, yet Primate Ayodele was willing to be called different names just to fill the gap of religious tolerance in Nigeria.
When he announced plans to build the mosque, many predicted that members of his church would leave him. Some said he was not called by God, while others claimed he was merely seeking attention. Some even alleged that the devil was using him. However, he completed the mosque within a few months, and as we speak, it has been commissioned and has begun operations.
While doing all these, parts of the Christian community expressed strong grievances toward the prophet because of what many people had grown up believing about both religions. Several prominent figures in both Christian and Islamic communities have passed down misconceptions about religion to younger generations. Seeing someone do what had never been done before understandably raised eyebrows. However, Primate Ayodele was never deterred; instead, he continued preaching the need for religious tolerance in Nigeria.
Interestingly, it appears that the efforts of Primate Ayodele in promoting religious tolerance have begun to influence others. Just weeks after he built a mosque, a notable Celestial prophet was seen in Mecca observing pilgrimage. Also, over the weekend, a Nigerian politician who is a devout Muslim hosted a Ramadan lecture and invited a prophet to speak to the audience.
In recognition of his efforts in promoting religious tolerance in the country, the Arewa Gamji Emirate Royal Council from Kaduna awarded Primate Ayodele the Wambai Gamji title yesterday at his Lagos church—another indication that the message of religious tolerance is gradually gaining acceptance.
More recognitions are expected to follow, but Primate Ayodele did not do all these for recognition. He acted after receiving what he described as divine instructions from God, with the sole aim of uniting Christians and Muslims in Nigeria and beyond. With this, many others are expected to follow suit, all thanks to Primate Ayodele, who has become a pacesetter for religious tolerance in Nigeria.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Monday said that it recorded a fire outbreak at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
FAAN stated that, though no fatality has been recorded, its team of firefighters was on the ground to contain the fire.
“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) wishes to inform the public of a fire outbreak at Terminal 1 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
“Our firefighting team is currently responding and working to contain the situation. No loss of life has been recorded.
This unfortunate incident is coming two months after Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, warned Nigerian airports to be careful of fire incidents. He made the warning in his prophecies for 2026, which were released on December 20, 2025.
This can be found on Page 30 of the prophecy book, where the renowned prophet was talking about the aviation sector.
These were his words:
“AIRPORTS IN THE WORLD: I foresee some Airports will be shut down because of power and internet service failures. Let us pray fervently so that no Airport will be attacked. Let us rebuke fire outbreaks, bombing and emergency llandingsof aircraft in our Airports. I foresee a plane crash in the world. Fire will force some aeroplanes to be grounded.”
Since the beginning of the year, several prophecies of Primate Ayodele, which he shared about the new year, have come to pass. Even in the aviation sector, there was a near-crash experience that happened with Arik Air just a few weeks ago.
The aircraft was seen with a blown engine while making an emergency landing in Benin. There was a video evidence of the Nigerian prophet, Primate Ayodele, warning Nigerian airlines to pray against such a serious occurrence.

How Primate Ayodele Warned Channels TV To Pray Against Accident Of Crew Members In 2026 Prophecies
A cameraman with Channels Television, Kani Ben, has died from spinal cord injuries he sustained in a ghastly road accident in Bauchi State.
Ben passed away at about 4:00 a.m. on Sunday at Modular Theatre Complex of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBU-TH), Bauchi, where he had been receiving treatment.
He was among 13 journalists from various media organisations involved in the crash while covering the commissioning of projects by the North East Development Commission (NEDC) in the state.
During the presentation of his 2026 prophecies in December 2025, Primate Ayodele had warned some media organizations against death of their staff members. He specially spoke about Channels TV and asked the media organization to pray against anyone among their crew getting involved in any form of accident.
These were his words
“CHANNELS TV: The spirit of God says the ChannelsTV should be watchful so that none of their crew will be attacked or be involved in an accident or shall be charged to court.” (PG 126).
Likewise, in an earlier prophecy in July, Primate Ayodele asked some television stations to pray for their reporters and cameraman regarding protection.
“AIT, Channels and Arise TV should be prayerful for protection for their staffs especially the reporters and cameramen.”
These two prophecies have been fulfilled with the unfortunate incident that involved the Channels TV Cameraman.
This isn’t to celebrate the death of the promising young man but to call on relevant authorities to always listen to divine instructions and warnings. There are a lot of things that can be avoided if people listen, but sadly, many of these things happen despite warning against them ahead of time, all because people choose to ignore the words of a prophet.
Primate Ayodele himself has said that he doesn’t feel good when his prophecies come to pass; rather, his saddest days are when his prophetic warnings get fulfilled, and this is why he doesn’t celebratethe fulfilment of prophecies. Many of these can be avoided; all people need to do is listen.
