Primate Elijah Ayodele, founder of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has weighed in on the political dynamics surrounding the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Osun State, offering strategic insights to candidates navigating party rivalries and influence structures.
In a video shared on Facebook on Saturday, December 3, 2026, Ayodele addressed challenges faced by opposition figures, particularly in managing perceptions and resistance from dominant political parties. He noted that electoral success in Osun requires a deep understanding of party loyalties, grassroots sentiment, and strategic mobilization.
Speaking directly on the prospects of Ademola Adeleke, Ayodele suggested that victory remains possible despite anticipated opposition from the All Progressives Congress. According to him, perceptions of disloyalty or misalignment often shape the APC’s posture toward certain candidates, influencing access to resources and public narratives.
Ayodele explained that candidates should not be deterred by party reactions but instead focus on building momentum through voter engagement and grassroots connections. He emphasized patience, focus, and clarity of purpose, advising aspirants to prioritize public trust over internal party politics.
He further highlighted the importance of forming careful alliances and maintaining strong links with constituents, noting that elections in politically sensitive states like Osun demand resilience and tactical awareness. Ayodele added that managing opposition strategies and controlling campaign narratives would be crucial as the election approaches.
Concluding his remarks, the cleric urged all contenders to remain proactive and alert, stressing that the coming polls would test political acumen and the ability to earn the confidence of the electorate.
