In a recent video from 2:02 shared on Friday, November 14, 2025, Primate Elijah Ayodele spoke on the relationship between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the current APC administration under President Bola Tinubu. Ayodele revealed that Obasanjo is taking a step back from active engagement with the Tinubu government, signaling a distance that could affect political calculations ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to Ayodele, “Obasanjo is not interested in the Tinubu government.” He explained that Obasanjo is observing the political environment carefully and is more focused on planning for the APC’s future strategies rather than involving himself in day-to-day governance issues. The cleric noted that this detachment does not mean a lack of influence, but rather a strategic positioning that allows Obasanjo to guide key decisions without directly engaging in the administration.
Ayodele further emphasized that Obasanjo’s stance could have implications for Tinubu and the APC, especially as political opponents may try to exploit the perceived lack of support from a former president. He warned that those in government must act with caution, maintain unity, and respect the roles of influential figures like Obasanjo to avoid internal fractures that could impact the party’s performance in the 2027 elections.
The cleric also highlighted that Obasanjo’s approach is typical of seasoned politicians who choose observation and strategic intervention over public confrontation. Ayodele urged APC leaders to remain focused on governance, strengthen party structures, and address national challenges to ensure the party’s credibility and electoral success in the coming years.
Ayodele concluded by advising that understanding the intentions of political veterans like Obasanjo is crucial for maintaining political stability and avoiding unnecessary conflicts within the APC. View, More,
