2027: Presidential ambition may stain your good image – Primate Ayodele cautions Jonathan

Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has cautioned former President Goodluck Jonathan against proceeding with a presidential ambition ahead of the 2027 election.

This is coming after a group approached the former president on Thursday, pleading with him to contest in the elections.

Primate Ayodele, in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, told the former president that his ambition may stain his image.

The prophet, who had earlier mentioned that Jonathan’s coming on board will shake APC, maintained that his candidacy will shift the political setting in the country, but asked him to take caution.

“Former President Goodluck Jonathan will be good on the ballot, but his prestigious image may be stained.

“If truly he wants to contest, it will be tough for every candidate, including President Tinubu, but he must be very careful,” he stated.

The prophet noted that the former president is afraid and indecisive.

However, he urged him to be courageous in anything he wants to do and prepare for what is coming ahead because it won’t be an easy journey for him.

“Jonathan’s candidacy will shock a lot of people, but he is scared. He must be courageous because the journey isn’t for the faint-hearted. If that is what he wants to do, he must be brave; it will not be an easy thing for him,” he added.

Also, he stated that “Jonathan will get international backing and sponsors if he decides to contest. Regardless, it won’t be easy for him.”
