In a recent video shared on Friday from 6:50, November 14, 2025, Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, spoke about the political stance of Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, ahead of the 2027 elections. He provided insights into the governor’s alliances and future decisions, which are expected to shape the political dynamics in the South-East.
According to Ayodele, Governor Otti is going to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the forthcoming elections, but he will not support Labour Party’s Peter Obi. The cleric stressed that this decision is deliberate and guided by both spiritual insight and political strategy, signaling Otti’s clear alignment with the APC. Ayodele emphasized that the governor’s choice may surprise some, particularly those who had anticipated support for the Labour Party candidate.
Ayodele warned that Otti’s position could create tension among political groups in Abia State. He encouraged all stakeholders to understand that the governor’s decisions are influenced by divine direction and strategic considerations rather than public expectation or pressure from political opponents. This alignment, he said, reflects a broader political calculation that will shape the region’s electoral landscape.
The cleric also urged the governor to exercise wisdom and prudence to avoid unnecessary conflicts or backlash arising from his political stance. According to Ayodele, the months ahead will reveal the full impact of these decisions, and the governor’s support for Tinubu will play a critical role in the APC’s strategy in the South-East.
He concluded by asserting that Governor Otti’s support for Tinubu is firm, and his refusal to back Peter Obi highlights a clear political divide. Ayodele’s insights serve as guidance and a caution for political actors to prepare for the unfolding electoral dynamics in Abia and the surrounding states. View, More,
