DERA - Tuesday, August 04, 2026

Founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has said he does not see the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, making any significant impact in the 2027 general elections.

Primate Ayodele made the remarks in a video posted on X while addressing his congregation.

According to him, the NDC should have joined forces and formed a coalition with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The duo left the ADC for the NDC in May, citing internal divisions and court cases.

Reacting, the cleric said: “You see the NDC party in Nigeria, assuming you can listen. Instead of you going as a solo party, you would have merged with the ADC and form a coalition.

“But you alone going solo, NDC is not in the calculation. They call it OK but I’m not seeing anything okay. I do not see ‘OK’ (Obi and Kwankwaso) going anywhere in the 2027 Presidential election.”
