Primate Elijah Ayodele’s recent statement suggests a turbulent political landscape ahead for President Bola Tinubu. According to Ayodele, the northern leaders are expected to actively challenge Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027, potentially leading to significant political unrest and tension.
He predicts that these challenges could even escalate to a “technical separation” between the North and the rest of Nigeria, though he dismisses the possibility of a military coup.
Ayodele’s comments reflect concerns about ethnic and religious tensions, urging a more conciliatory approach to avoid deepening divides. His statement highlights the complex dynamics within Nigerian politics, where regional and ethnic rivalries can significantly impact the stability of governance.
