Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has made serious claims concerning the ongoing insecurity crisis plaguing Benue State. Speaking during a prophetic message delivered on Sunday, the respected cleric alleged that the unrest is not a product of random violence but rather a coordinated effort rooted within the very fabric of both state and federal government structures.
His statement, issued through his media aide Oluwatosin Osho, strongly suggested that the orchestrators of the turmoil are individuals in powerful positions who are deliberately working to destabilize President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration from the inside.
According to the popular prophet, the nature of the security challenges in Benue defies natural causes and instead stems from a deliberate political strategy. He stated that the identities of those involved would be shocking to the public because they are individuals positioned close to the corridors of power. These claims, if true, point toward an internal threat of significant magnitude.
Ayodele expressed deep concern that the insecurity is a political tool being wielded with the intent of undermining President Tinubu’s leadership. He warned that unless the president addresses the root political causes fueling this unrest, the consequences for his government could be severe.
“The insecurity problems in Benue State are man-made. They are not just emerging from the grassroots or random attacks. They are being initiated by people with high-level access and influence,” Ayodele warned. “Those responsible are in the government system, both state and federal. Their names would shock everyone. They are very close to the helm of power.”
His comments shine a spotlight on a troubling dimension of the crisis, one that could indicate deeper divisions within the current administration. Ayodele further urged President Tinubu to rise to the challenge and take decisive action before the situation spirals further out of control.
He stressed that ignoring the signs and taking comfort in the praises of political allies would be a dangerous mistake for the president. The prophet pointed out that the crisis is not only a security issue but also a political weapon capable of damaging Tinubu’s credibility and future prospects.
“Mr. President needs to stop relying on those who sing his praises. They do not understand the depth of what is unfolding. These crises are designed to dent his government and reduce public confidence. If he does not act decisively, he will end up paying dearly for it,” Ayodele said.
Describing himself as an impartial voice and not a political associate of the president, Ayodele stated that his intention was to sound the alarm, not to curry favor or stir unnecessary controversy. He believes his warnings come at a critical time when the government can still intervene meaningfully.
“Let no one be deceived. I am not anyone’s friend. I speak what I see. President Tinubu must take this seriously. Don’t let them be shouting Hosanna today and leave you in crisis tomorrow. This is about the future of his leadership,” the prophet added.
Ayodele has been known for issuing prophetic statements on national issues, and while some dismiss such declarations, many within religious and political circles often pay attention due to the specificity and timing of his warnings.
Observers now watch closely to see how the federal government and President Tinubu himself respond to these bold claims. The Benue State crisis has lingered for years, driven by conflicts over land, resources, and identity, but Ayodele’s assertion suggests a much more sinister narrative. If indeed the unrest is being fueled from within, the implications are deeply troubling for national security and political stability.
The message from Primate Ayodele is clear: action must be taken promptly, not only to restore peace in Benue but to preserve the integrity of Tinubu’s presidency. The coming days and weeks will reveal whether the government chooses to ignore or confront the alleged insiders working against its survival.
