In a recent Facebook video posted on August 25, 2025, Primate Elijah Ayodele, a prominent cleric known for his bold prophecies and commentary on national issues, urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop politicizing the detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Speaking at a press briefing in his Lagos church, Ayodele advised Tinubu to address Kanu’s case decisively rather than using it as a political tool. He warned that prolonging the detention without resolution could escalate insecurity in the South-East and deepen distrust between the federal government and the region’s citizens.
Ayodele emphasized the need for dialogue and peace over force, stating that Nigeria’s unity hinges on the fair handling of sensitive issues like Kanu’s case. He cautioned that failure to resolve it could fuel further agitation and unrest, potentially destabilizing the nation.
The cleric’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions online. Supporters of Kanu commended Ayodele for his candidness, while others argued that the case involves complex legal and security issues.
