He said:
“Tinubu does not have ministers. All his ministers are deceiving him. It is what they want to eat and what will benefit them that they are after. But the old baba (sic) does not see this. All the good people that surround Tinubu, the ministers will begin to stand up against them. Tinubu, be careful.”

2027 election prophecy on Jonathan
Meanwhile, the outspoken cleric also prophesied about the possibility of former President Goodluck Jonathan contesting in the 2027 election.
‘GEJ’, as Jonathan is fondly called, served as Nigeria’s president under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from 2010 to 2015 before he was defeated by the then All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Muhammadu Buhari (of blessed memory).
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state, in August, said Jonathan was among those being considered by the PDP for the party’s 2027 presidential ticket.
Apart from Mohammed, the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, other party chieftains have hinted that the former president would likely become the party’s flagbearer in the 2027 presidential election.

But commenting on the speculation, Ayodele claimed that President Donald Trump of the United States (US) is planning to use Jonathan, against President Tinubu.
His words:
“As a matter of fact, Jonathan will come out. But he should seek the face of God if he wants to come out, because I hope he does not regret it.

Ayodele on Fubara’s political future
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Primate Ayodele revealed that the governor of Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara, can still have a second term in office.
Primate Ayodele shared that Fubara can still have a second term in office if he seeks the face of God and stays loyal to Nyesom Wike, the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT).
He also claimed that part of his (Fubara’s) loyalty to Wike would include technically ceding the position of the deputy governor to the assembly speaker, as his chosen deputy would be a figurehead.
