Primate Ayodele has prophesied that the All Progressives Congress will collapse if it fields President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima as its 2027 presidential ticket.
The cleric made the warning in a fresh prophecy, suggesting that the party's leadership decisions could trigger internal crises that weaken its grip on power. Ayodele did not provide specific details about the nature of the collapse or the timeline, but he framed it as a cautionary message for the ruling party.
This latest pronouncement adds to the growing chorus of political voices questioning the stability of the APC ahead of the 2027 general election. Within the party, there have been murmurs of discontent over internal power struggles, particularly between governors and the federal government on resource sharing and policy direction.
The prophecy also reflects broader concerns among some political analysts and party members about the party's cohesion as it prepares for its next electoral cycle. The APC, which swept to power in 2015 and retained it in 2023, has faced criticism over rising inflation, fuel subsidy removal, and security challenges during Tinubu's administration.
Ayodele has made several prophecies about Nigerian politics in recent times, some of which have drawn both support and criticism from different quarters. His latest warning is likely to generate debate within APC circles about succession planning and the party's electoral strategy for 2027.
The APC has not yet officially announced its 2027 ticket, though Tinubu and Shettima remain the most probable candidates if the party seeks continuity. Party officials have previously dismissed prophecies and predictions, preferring to focus on their developmental agenda and electoral plans.
