Primate Ayodele: A Pacesetter for Religious Tolerance in Nigeria

Published

on

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.

How Primate Ayodele Foretold Peter Obi’s Exit From ADC Since July 2025

Published

on

By

In early July 2025, when the African Democratic Congress (ADC) was unveiled as the opposition coalition party for the 2027 election, Nigerians were overjoyed.They weren’t just excited for the party, but also for those who made up the party. They were bigwigs from the 2023 presidential election and two major candidates of the opposition; Abubakar Atiku of PDP and Peter Obi of the Labour Party were part of the coalition.Many Nigerians who want the APC out of the way were excited that, for the first time, opposition parties in Nigeria realised it would take unity to remove a strong politician like President Tinubu from power and because in the last election, the combined votes of opposition parties surpassed that of Tinubu, the combination of the two opposition actors was seen as a great force.However, while Nigerians were happy about the coalition, Primate Elijah Ayodele, a renowned prophet who is known for the prophetic position he occupies in global politics and governance, revealed what was to come for the coalition during a press conference.The press conference was held on the 5th of July, to launch his annual prophecy book titled Warnings To The Nations, and during the question-and-answer sessions, he was asked about the fate of the ADC, and his response left everyone surprised.He mentioned that the ADC coalition is good, but the former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, would pull out of the party. He stated that the coalition is divine but Peter Obi will pull out. This was barely one week after the coalition was unveiled.These were his words:“The coalition is divine. Only a spell will dismantle the coalition.“Peter Obi will still pull out from this coalition, if care is not taken. If they advise him wrongly to pull out, he cannot win.”“If Obi said he wants to pull out, use Rotimi Amaechi (ex-minister). No other person (sic) will contest, it is Atiku. But the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) believes they have won the 2027 election with these governors that they are poaching. President Bola Tinubu, you have not won yet; I am giving you a warning now, how you can win, how people will defeat you.“Anything I said, that’s what God said. And I am presenting it that way. So, if you don’t like it, it is in 2027 that you will regret it.”https://thelagostimes.com/2027-election-primate-ayodele-releases-prophecy-on-adc-coalition-says-peter-obi-will-pull-out/Just as Primate Ayodele warned, Peter Obi left the coalition yesterday Sunday to pursue his presidential ambition elsewhere.This fulfilment further shuts the critics of Primate Ayodele; many have said what he does is permutation and analysis but there is no way anyone could have thought Peter Obi would leave the coalition in July 2025, the very beginning of the coalition when the going was at its best. This shows Primate Ayodele remains a formidable and credible prophet for all nations.Likewise, on the issue of Rabiu Kwankwaso, Primate Ayodele has always maintained that he is not fully with the ADC and that he will just be there like a mole.This has been fulfilled too because Kwankwaso left with Obi to NDC, just few weeks after joining.

Nigerians have been gripped by fear since the report of the COVID-19 variant in Cross River.The Cross River State Ministry of Health has begun profiling and tracing individuals in the state who have been in contact with a Chinese national admitted after testing positive for the COVID-19 virus.Not many people expected this to happen in Nigeria, because since 2020 when the global pandemic happened, there hasn’t been a single case of the virus in the country until yesterday, about five years later.However, despite the fact that Nigeria was declared Covid-19 free, popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, warned about three times that he foresees the virus coming back to Nigeria.In his first prophecy regarding it, he warned that Nigerians should not pray to see Lassa fever and Covid-19 coming back in some areas.“Let’s pray so that we don’t see Lassa Fever again. Let’s pray so that Covid will not come back in some areas”https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS9dYjCMS/This wasn’t given attention by many because it felt Nigeria has been immune to the virus. Everyone went about their business as usual, and in the midst of all that, Primate Ayodele warned intensely again.“Let’s watch this for the World Health Organization, I see airborne disease, Covid in another dimension that can cause cough, cold, air disease, it’s a warning and that’s what the Lord said.”https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS9dj5UL5/This time, he specifically called out the World Health Organization about re-occurrence of Covid; and gave directions regarding how it would happen. He also emphasized that it was what the Lord said, but how many people actually listen?Again, during a church service, Primate Ayodele warned that Covid is coming and will happen in a different way compared to the previous one. He made it known that the way of contacting it will be different from the previous one.“Also, Covid is coming, but the way it’s going to come will be different from the way we experienced it that time. The process of contacting it will be different from the previous one.”https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS9djao7v/Likewise, in his annual prophecy book titled Warnings to the Nations, Primate Ayodele warned that another round of COVID is coming. This book was released in July 2025.“Another round of COVID will come up, and another disease epidemic. I foresee that a lot of money will be spent, and they will face some challenges in getting things right. The workers of this Body will be attacked, and there will be changes in leadership” (Page 36)All of these have fulfilled the prophecies of Primate Ayodele. Beyond the prophecy fulfilment, this is a call to relevant authorities to always listen when God is warning them about anything through his prophet.

Oba Salman Aweda, his wife and another resident have been kidnapped emidnight invasion of Olayinka community in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.He was recently elevated by the state government.The heavily armed gang stormed the palace of at about 1:40 a.m. on Saturday, firing sporadically to scare residents before taking him and two others to an unknown destination.This is the noise we have been making regarding how they treat the prophecy of Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church.Before now, people used to say Primate Ayodele talks about politics alone but at the moment, his prophecies about insecurity in the country has been top notch; nobody comes close if we are to rank it but it is alarming that people who are supposed to secure people have turned deaf ears.This has repeated itself several times and it seems the time has come for us to ask questions; do our security operatives enjoy hearing the death and kidnap of innocent Nigerians let alone prominent individuals?Before the recent attacks on military base, an ondo monarch, bomb attacks in Borno, attack on church on Easter Sunday, Primate Ayodele specifically warned the security operatives and the government about the impending attacks but they never listened. Now, few weeks ago, Primate Ayodele revealed that next target of terrorist in Nigeria and stated that they are planning to attack some traditional rulers. He even went as far as revealing the states where the attacks would be carried out.These were his words:“Terrorists will start kidnapping traditional rulers in some states that include Kebbi, Niger, Zamfara, Kano, Kogi (Lokoja axis), Ondo, Kwara, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi and Yobe, with concerns that the threat could also extend to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.”The happening in Kwara state has fulfilled this prophetic warning. Obviously our security operatives didn’t do anything about it. Now, how long do we continue like this?
