According to a report, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has advised the PDP that if the party wants to regain power, it should encourage former Senate President Bukola Saraki and former President Goodluck Jonathan to run for president in 2027.
Ayodele declared that Atiku Abubakar was an unfit candidate and threatened to bring the PDP to its ultimate demise if he ran for office again. In a personally issued statement, he advised that Atiku should step back and endorse a better contender instead.
He highlighted that Jonathan remains the party’s greatest hope for a comeback, adding that a strategic partnership between Jonathan, Saraki, and other opposition forces may considerably increase the PDP’s chances.
“If the PDP is serious about winning, they must convince Jonathan to accept the challenge,”Ayodele stated.”Atiku is not the answer. His candidacy would be the final nail in the PDP’s coffin. He lacks the strength to unseat Tinubu.”
However, Ayodele recognized that Jonathan might be hesitant to enter the race due to uncertainty and anxiety. He encouraged the PDP to provide full backing and assurance to promote his participation.
“Jonathan is reluctant because of fear-the fear of the unknown. The PDP must offer him unwavering support to convince him,”he stressed.
Ayodele also cautioned that President Bola Tinubu would probably win reelection in 2027 if Jonathan wasn’t the nominee and the opposition wasn’t united. He claimed that a candidate who is fearless, well-funded, and prepared to employ unorthodox tactics is the only way to unseat Tinubu.
“This election won’t be for the weak or complacent but for someone who is daring, fearless, and spiritually guided,”Ayodele declared.
He reiterated at the end that Jonathan is the PDP’s greatest chance of winning, backed by Saraki as an ally and a coalition of opposition parties. “Atiku should support a strong candidate, and right now, Jonathan is the only one who can save the PDP from its final downfall,” he affirmed.
