Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has forecast that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) would be seriously challenged in the upcoming general election by a potential presidential ticket that includes former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ayodele stated that such an alliance will upend the APC and make the election extremely competitive during a recent church service that was posted online.
He claims that “Jonathan and Kwankwaso will be on that ticket, and it’s going to give the APC Tinubu government a very tough time.”
The clergyman suggested that Kwankwaso think about becoming a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He pointed out that the party might offer a stage for a powerful opposition movement.
He said, “Kwankwaso should go to ADC,” implying that doing so will help assemble a strong presidential team.
The ruling party would not have an easy time winning the next election, Ayodele emphasized.
It won’t be a simple election. He said, “No, it’s not.”
The political environment might change dramatically before people cast their ballots, he continued.
Additionally, he asserted that backing for the proposed alliance could come from abroad.
