Tinubu’ll put judges, lawyers in calabash, you can’t win, Primate Ayodele to Atiku, Peter Obi.
In a cautionary statement issued on Saturday, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, expressed his skepticism towards the outcome of the cases brought by presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) against President Bola Tinubu at the tribunal.

Primate Ayodele went on to describe Tinubu’s victory as a spiritual triumph, claiming that the phrase “Emi Lokan” carries significant spiritual and positive energy. He asserted that Atiku and Obi are wasting their time attempting to remove Tinubu from power, as they underestimate his determination and spiritual prowess.
According to the clergyman, Tinubu possesses a spiritual desperation that only divine intervention can overcome. Ayodele further emphasized that Atiku and Obi are mere noise-makers who rely on internet rants, questioning whether such online activities can secure them victory. He firmly believed that Tinubu’s success is entirely of a spiritual nature.
“Atiku and Obi are not ready, they think Tinubu will just sit down and fold his hands? He (Tinubu) will put all the lawyers and judges in one calabash and throw them inside water.
Regarding the Senate, Ayodele predicted that under the leadership of Godswill Akpabio, it would become a rubber stamp, lacking seriousness and opposition. He suggested that even the most radical members would be silenced, leading to a potential exodus of opposition politicians to join the ruling party.
Primate Ayodele’s remarks indicate his reservations about the prospects of Atiku and Obi’s legal challenges against Tinubu, while also expressing his concerns about the future trajectory of the Senate under Akpabio’s leadership.
