*Coup Attempt: Why President Tinubu Must Appreciate Primate Ayodele’s Prophetic Gift* 
By Johnson Adeleke
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his cabinet members ought to get on the first flight to Lagos on Sunday and massively occupy INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, owned by Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele in appreciation to God for the attempted coup which didn’t materialize.
The specific mention of Primate Ayodele’s church isn’t to say that is the only place thanksgiving can be done but beyond that, it would be in acknowledgement of the prophet’s spiritual credibility because amongst the thousands of prophets in Nigeria, he was the only one who saw the attempted coup coming, even before the military intelligence acted.
Since July 2024, Primate Ayodele has been warning President Tinubu of attempts to take him out of power but it appeared his security agencies totally ignored the prophet probably they felt he was looking for their attention. He stated then that there will be political coup against the president and that saboteurs will begin to rise ahead of 2027 election.
These were his words:
“The way forward is constant electricity, mechanized farming, and ending insecurity. Insecurity is man-made, those behind it are in the system.
“The cabals in Tinubu’s government will rise soon. Saboteurs are in Tinubu’s government so the president must be watchful.
“The Northerners are plotting coup against him, political coup is coming against Tinubu in 2027.”
The prophet didn’t stop talking about the attempt and in July 2025, in an online interview, Primate Ayodele spoke about an intense plan to take Tinubu out of power unconstitutionally. He mentioned that some security operatives will be part of the plans to take the president out of power, while calling on the appropriate authorities to quickly work on the warning.
These were his words:
“I see an attempt to take power from him (Tinubu) in an unconstitutional manner. So, God warns him to take his personal safety very seriously. What I saw was coup-like, and tension everywhere,” declared Ayodele at the unveiling of the 2025 edition of his annual prophecy book, ‘Warnings To The Nations’, in Lagos.
Again in early October, Primate Ayodele called on security operatives to be very vigilant because some powerful Nigerians who are angry will attempt to seize power from President Tinubu in an unconstitutional manner. He stated that some security officers will be part of it.
These were his words:
“There will be an attempt to unseat Tinubu unconstitutionally; the NSA, DSS, and Chief of Army Staff must be careful about this. There are some gangs planning between November to January to unseat him.”
“ Even the Navy, Air Force will be part of it, including the Nigerian Army. President Tinubu must be ready for anything and fortify himself. He needs to change his security strategy because these personalities will be unbelievable names.”
Some powerful Nigerians plotting to remove Tinubu through coup – Primate Ayodele
As it stands, this warnings have been fulfilled after the Nigerian military reportedly foiled attempts to remove Tinubu from power. Although the military, as expected, denied such occurrence but event that have unfolded indicates that it happened. Some politicians, who were reportedly part of those behind it, confirmed that their homes were raided by military officers. Also, the sudden change of service chiefs just after the coup report surfaced is another indication.
Sincerely, the military intelligence must have used signals from Primate Ayodele to tackle this unfortunate incident and Primate Ayodele doesn’t only deserve to be appreciated but acknowledged for his timely alert.
Despite the criticisms he received after releasing the prophecy, he still continued talking about it till we got to this stage where something like it actually happened. President Tinubu definitely owes Primate Ayodele.
