According to the cleric, Tinubu should not over rely on northerners.
To avoid a defeat in the 2027 election, Primate Ayodele asked the incumbent Nigerian leader to "change your strategy."
He said:
“Somebody powerful is coming to unseat Tinubu. Tinubu must brace up. Northerners will not help you. They are not of your interest.
"Areas where you are supposed to work in the north, you have not gone there. You are only pacifying them. All the pleading you are doing won't help the situation. They are adamant.
"Change your strategy before it is too late. If you don't change your strategy, you will see that you make efforts, then that efforts will not give results."

Tinubu’s administration has leaned into institution-building and fiscal tightening. But opposition leaders argue that these policies are disconnected from the people’s daily realities , fueling a perception of elitist governance.

Meanwhile, a socio-political analyst, Segun Akinleye, said President Tinubu currently remains the most favoured candidate to win the 2027 presidential election, citing the president’s political structure and support base across Nigeria.
He argued that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) still controls the majority of states and enjoys the backing of some opposition governors, factors that further strengthen Tinubu’s chances of re-election.
Akinleye told Legit.ng:
"We appear to be obsessed with 2027 elections while still in 2025. The president needs not lose sleep on reelection if he does well in office."
