Prophet Ayodele Warns Atiku, Obi Says “Massive Defection” Will Hit PDP, LP
- Primate Elijah Ayodele has predicted what he called a massive defection in the Labour Party
- The cleric stated that the defection will also hit Nigeria's main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party
- He enjoined the two opposition parties to "go and restrategise and do things properly"
FCT, Abuja - The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has urged Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to “go and put their houses in order”.
Obi is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) while Atiku flies the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Both men are still hopeful of becoming Nigeria’s president as they are challenging President Bola Tinubu’s victory in court.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election.
But Atiku and Obi rejected the declaration and alleged irregularities in the process that produced Tinubu as the election winner.

"I’m seeing massive defection in PDP, LP"
In a video posted on his official X handle on Tuesday, September 19, the cleric said:
“I want to tell Atiku and Obi that they need to put their house together. Many people would decamp from them as from January, February, March. And I’m seeing massive decamp in PDP and Labour.
“PDP should go and restrategise. Do things properly, adjust and do what is needful. You see people in that Assembly, they would decamp.
“You will just be shocked. You must not be surprised, a governor can also decamp.
“I am just telling you what is ahead of you and what is ahead of time. Don’t be surprised that you will be shocked about this.”
