Ikeja, Lagos state - The self-proclaimed Servant of the Most High God, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, has dashed the hope of Peter Obi becoming president in the next general election in 2027.
Primate Ayodele said Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) during the February 2023 election, could have avoided ending up on the losing side had he teamed up with Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate.
“Obi cannot be president in 2027": Ayodele
According to the cleric, if Obi decides to contest again in the 2027 election, he 'will only waste his money'.
The INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church founder said:
“Obi cannot be president in 2027. If he is dreaming it, he should forget about it; honestly. But you can still waste money. It’s not my money, it’s your money.
“You will see that you are not going to be relevant politically in 2027 at all. They won’t recognise you at all. Anybody telling you that you should come back, this is how they will tell, ‘do this, do that’.
“This one has gone. It was an opportunity for Atiku and Obi, they could have come together. They’ll win this election (2023). And you (Obi) didn’t want to hear the truth. We congratulate you (Obi) too. You didn’t fail, you’ve done so well. Failure is part of grace.”
"Obi will never be president": Omokri

Supreme Court affirms Tinubu winner of election
Legit.ng also reported that the Supreme Court rejected Obi and Atiku's appeal challenging President Tinubu's election.
In a decision monitored by Legit.ng on Thursday, October 26, the court determined that Atiku's appeal as the PDP candidate and Obi's, lack a solid legal basis.
