Primate Ayodele sets record straight: Tinubu not behind Nnamdi Kanu’s detention

Founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has said clearly that Tinubu is not responsible for the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu.

He said this on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the INRI church while speaking on national issues.

He said even though Tinubu is not responsible for Nnamdi Kanu’s detention, the Igbos would blame Tinubu.

The Servant of God prayed to God so that the present Government could use its good offices to release him.

However, he stated that the release of Nnamdi Kanu or not would not guarantee voting for Tinubu by the Igbos in 2027.

Primate Ayodele said that Tinubu should not lay his eggs in one basket but look in the direction of North, South South and South West.

He said, “Tinubu is not the cause of Nnamdi Kanu’s detention, but the Igbos are going to be blaming Tinubu for keeping Nnamdi Kanu.

“Why can’t they follow the due process on this Nnamdi Kanu not being released? The person that supposed to do it did not do it, but I pray this government will use its good offices to save the situation.

“However, whether you release Nnamdi Kanu or not, the Igbos will refuse to vote for Tinubu, except few Igbos who will vote for Tinubu.

“Tinubu should not put all his eggs in one basket; he should face West and the North, and then South South,” he said.
