Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, recommended the People Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday to persuade former President Goodluck Jonathan and ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki to run for president if the party wants to win in 2027.
Primate Ayodele stated that previous PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar is not the party’s answer, and that if he is allowed to run again, the PDP will be ‘buried’ permanently.
In a statement he signed, he stated that the best thing Atiku can do is support a good candidate, and that the best person for the PDP right now is Jonathan if the party hopes to scent victory in 2027.
He recommended Jonathan to join forces with Bukola Saraki, with the support of a coalition of opposition parties, there will be great chances for the party.
According to Primate Ayodele: “If PDP wants to near victory, they should persuade Goodluck Jonathan to contest under the party to wake them from their slumber.
“Atiku will not be an answer to PDP and if he comes out to contest again, it will be the final burial of PDP. He doesn’t have what it takes to remove Tinubu from office.
“I can only advise Atiku to support a good candidate and the best option for PDP now is Goodluck Jonathan. I said he shouldn’t contest before but as it stands, he is the only one who can assist PDP from its final burial.
“If he can join forces with Saraki, together with a coalition of opposition parties, PDP has chances at victory.”
Primate Ayodele made it clear that Jonathan is afraid.
He begged the party to provide him with the necessary backing to agree to contest.
“If Jonathan is ready, he should be able to do all of these but he is scared.
“The fear of the unknown is troubling Jonathan. If the PDP can persuade him and give him all the backing he needs, he will be able to help the party survive,” he said.
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele added that if Jonathan does not run and there is no alliance of opposition parties, President Tinubu will keep his position as Nigeria’s president.
He continued by describing the person who can remove Tinubu as desperate, financially stable, unjust, fearless, and tough.
He stated that the 2027 election will not be for the indolent, but for those who know what they want and are willing to pursue it to the end.
“If this cannot happen, I don’t see anyhow any party wants to defeat Tinubu, it will be totally impossible. The person that will win Tinubu must be financially stable, spiritually inclined, must be desperate, must not be righteous.
“The election will be for somebody who is ready for anything, fearless, rugged, entirely serious, someone who has past good records, ready to waste money too because all of these are what Tinubu has.
“The 2027 election isn’t for righteous people, the person who wants to win must be ready to face anything and must be ready to listen to God’s divine instructions at all times.
“It’s not for lazy people but very determined people. You must also be ready to accept lies and truth together. Tinubu is too strong to be pushed aside,” he said.
