The leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is under spiritual attack, claiming that “America is already in Nigeria.”
In a statement issued by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the cleric linked the growing tension between Nigeria and the United States to what he described as “divine nemesis” fighting Tinubu’s government — a situation he said he prophesied in 2023.
Ayodele said the controversy surrounding US President Donald Trump’s alleged threat against Nigeria over Christian persecution is part of a spiritual backlash against Tinubu’s leadership.
“Tinubu is reaping what he sowed. The genocide issue is meant to fight his government. In 2023, I warned that if Tinubu won, nemesis would battle his administration. If he doesn’t deal with it spiritually, America will attack his government,” he declared.
The prophet alleged that Washington’s concern about religious freedom in Nigeria is part of a larger plan to “penetrate and weaken” Tinubu’s administration ahead of a possible second term.
“America’s plan to fight terrorism is only a means to weaken Tinubu’s government. He must seek divine intervention — not technology — to resolve this,” Ayodele cautioned.
He further claimed that U.S. forces are already operating within Nigeria and urged the president to act quickly to prevent a full-blown crisis.
“America is already in Nigeria; this government must act fast,” he warned.
Known for his frequent political prophecies, Primate Ayodele maintained that Tinubu’s administration can only overcome its current challenges through “divine solutions,” not political manoeuvring.
