How Primate Ayodele’s Trump prediction missed the mark
Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has a well-established record of issuing questionable prophecies across various spheres-from politics and social issues to sports and entertainment.
Month after month, Ayodele confidently releases predictions, often tagged as revelations from God. However, a significant number of these forecasts fail to come true, leading to questions about the authenticity of his spiritual claims.
For decades, Ayodele has built a reputation around predicting high-stakes events, claiming divine insight on matters of political importance, especially within Nigeria and even on international stages. He often delivers his statements with conviction, leaving little room for ambiguity. Yet the pattern of his missed predictions raises a critical question: are these truly words from God? Even the Bible cautions believers against such misleading prophets. As stated in Deuteronomy 18:22, “When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”

One of Ayodele’s recent high-profile predictions came just before the U.S. Presidential election. On 29th September, less than two months before Americans went to the polls, he issued a bold prophecy, stating that Vice President Kamala Harris would emerge victorious. Through a statement released by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele asserted that the 2024 U.S. election would mirror some of the controversies seen in African elections, including vote-buying and intimidation tactics.
“The American election will be very tough and will take another dimension,” Ayodele declared. “They will play the kind of politics we see in Africa; there will be vote-buying, intimidations, and things that haven’t happened before will begin to take place.”
He went further, confidently predicting that if the election took place, “Trump will not win, he will lose. Kamala Harris will shock the world, her policies will be better than Trump’s. Trump will be another disaster for the world, and if there is an election today, he will fail.”
Ayodele also warned that if Trump lost, he might attempt to incite protests and unrest in the United States, saying, “He must be careful.”
However, the reality of the election unfolded quite differently. Contrary to Ayodele’s prophecy, Donald Trump clinched a decisive victory, leaving many to wonder if Ayodele’s declaration had ever been divinely inspired. With such a glaring misstep, it becomes evident that Ayodele’s prediction was far from accurate. This significant blunder brings into question the nature and origin of his so-called prophecies.
Did God truly reveal the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election to Ayodele? The answer appears to be a resounding ‘no.’ Instead, Ayodele’s prediction seems to fit the warning outlined in Deuteronomy. This was not a revelation from above but rather the words of a prophet speaking presumptuously, casting doubt upon his self-proclaimed divine insight.
