Nigerian televangelist Primate Elijah Ayodele has issued a fresh set of predictions about Liberia, warning of political tension within the country’s leadership, continued economic hardship, and suggesting that former President George Weah could stage a political comeback in the 2029 elections.
Ayodele, who leads the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos, claimed that relations between Liberia’s top leaders could deteriorate, describing a scenario of open conflict between the President and Vice President.
He warned that the country may be heading into a difficult period marked by confusion and economic strain.
According to him, “Liberia is going to face a crisis,” adding that hardship would persist if the current administration does not change its approach to governance and economic management.
The cleric also suggested that the country’s leadership appears overwhelmed, saying the President looks “tired” and questioning whether he should continue in office.
Beyond his warnings about the present government, Ayodele predicted that Weah could return to power in 2029, a claim that has already sparked discussion in political circles.
The prophecy comes despite his earlier 2023 election prediction in which he suggested Weah would retain the presidency.
That prediction did not materialize, as Joseph Boakai went on to defeat Weah in the runoff election.
The remarks have drawn sharp responses from several public figures.
Mohammed Ali, Managing Director of the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation, strongly criticized the cleric, calling him “a rogue and a criminal parading as pastor,” and accusing him of inciting unrest and disrespecting Liberia’s leadership. He also questioned what he described as selective outrage from activists and commentators.
Montserrado County Senator Abraham Darius Dillon also weighed in, dismissing Ayodele’s claims and suggesting that his predictions appear politically biased.
Dillon argued that the cleric seems sympathetic to former President Weah while being critical of President Boakai, adding that such bias undermines the credibility of his prophecies. He further cautioned against what he described as attributing personal opinions to divine messages.
Ayodele’s latest comments have added to ongoing debate in Liberia about political stability and the country’s economic direction. While some of his supporters see his messages as warnings to leaders, critics continue to question his track record and influence.
Further reactions are expected as the story continues to circulate across political and social platforms.
