The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has listed those who cannot win the governorship election in Lagos State to include Seyi Tinubu, Tokunbo Abiru, and Olajide Adeniran, popularly known as Jandor, and named only one person who stands a chance.
The Man of God made the revelation in a statement by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, which was issued to the media on Tuesday.
Primate Ayodele mentioned that the race for who becomes the next governor of Lagos State after the current administration concludes its second term in 2027 will be tough, but some of those who are interested at the moment will not emerge.
Although some have not officially declared their interest in the race, but there has been some politicking going on to test the waters.
From the All Progressives Congress, Primate Ayodele mentioned that Senator Abiru, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, and Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, cannot become the next governor of the state after the incumbent, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
From the Peoples Democratic Party, he advised Jandor not to waste his resources seeking for a governorship seat in Lagos State because it won’t work.
Likewise for the candidate of the Labour Party in the last governorship election, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the prophet asked him not to dream about it.
Ayodele said: “The Lagos State governorship race in 2027 will be a tough one that will see some powerful people humiliated.
“Many of those who seem interested at the moment will be disappointed.

“I want to advise Tokunbo Abiru, Gbenga Ashafa, Seyi Tinubu, Jide Adeniran, and Gbadebo Rhodes not to bother themselves, they won’t become governor in 2027 if they attempt to contest.
“They shouldn’t allow people push them to show interest, it won’t work.”
However, Primate Ayodele revealed that the only person close to the seat is the current Principal Secretary to President Tinubu, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, except things change.
He also admonished Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President, to seek the face of God if he has ambitions because he will be fought spiritually.
He added: “Except things change, I see Hakeem Muri-Okunola taking the lead in the governorship race.
“If Femi Gbajabiamila has an ambition, it’s only God that can help him, he needs to seek the face of God because they will destroy his plans.
“They will fight him spiritually.”
Continuing, Primate Ayodele called on the Governance Advisory Council members of Lagos State to be careful against division over the 2027 governorship race.
He said: “I also want the GAC members to pray so that they won’t be divided, the 2027 governorship in Lagos will divide them.
“Likewise, they should pray against bereavement.”
