Tinubu to sack IGP, COAS before 2027 election – Primate Ayodele

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has predicted significant shake-ups in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration before the end of 2026, saying the Chief of Army Staff and the Inspector General of Police are set to be removed.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele said the planned changes are aimed at reshaping the leadership of key security institutions ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

“The spirit of the Lord revealed to me that the Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, the Chief of Army Staff, and some service chiefs will be removed from office before the end of the year,” the cleric stated. “The president will make these changes before the election, except God changes his mind. The decision has been made already. Let the service chiefs and the IGP prepare for this move.”

Primate Ayodele has previously drawn attention for predictions regarding the current administration. He first gained viral attention in 2022 when he warned that another APC government would bring serious hardship for Nigerians.

He also suggested that the current government faces an uphill task with international respect, economic stability, and public satisfaction, implying that the administration may struggle to meet expectations before the next election.
