In a recent video from 08:10 on Facebook, Nigerian cleric Primate Elijah Ayodele has warned that some ministers planning to resign and contest elections ahead of 2027 may face political setbacks, while advising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to carefully restructure his cabinet.
Speaking during a recent sermon, Ayodele suggested that not all outgoing ministers would succeed in their political ambitions. “Those that will resign to go and contest, they will be disgraced when the time comes,” he said, hinting that their electoral pursuits may not yield expected results.
He, however, refrained from naming specific individuals, urging patience. “We will mention them, but let’s wait. Don’t let us talk now, let’s watch from far and near,” Ayodele added.
The cleric noted that the development could create an opportunity for the president to reposition his administration. “Thank God that they are resigning, and let Tinubu put the right people in their position,” he said, emphasizing the need for capable replacements.
Ayodele also advised the president to strengthen his political alliances, particularly in northern Nigeria, which he described as crucial for governance and future electoral success. “In the North, these are the people that Tinubu should really work with, that can help him to achieve,” he stated.
Highlighting specific regions, he stressed the strategic importance of certain state leaders. “Governors that he must work with that can help him… Kaduna State governor is very important in making success,” Ayodele said. Read_More…
