Lagos – The leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has reassured former Abia State Governor and Abia North Senator Orji Uzor Kalu that he will still become the President of Nigeria before he turns 70.
In a prophetic message delivered in a video circulating on social media on Monday, the cleric declared that Kalu’s long-held presidential ambition remains alive and achievable.

“Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, you will still become the president of Nigeria. Just listen to your mother’s advice; she is your guide. Follow her advice religiously,” Ayodele said.
In a more detailed version of the prophecy reported by some outlets, the Primate specifically stated that Kalu would attain the presidency before the age of 70. He emphasised that the senator’s mother serves as a divinely appointed guide and urged him to heed her counsel without deviation.
“Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, you will still become Nigeria’s President before you turn 70. Listen to your mother’s advice, because she is your guide. Follow her religiously,” one report quoted the cleric as saying.
Ayodele further advised Kalu to avoid unnecessary conflicts, follow instructions carefully, and begin meaningful initiatives now. He asserted that no one would be able to harm the senator if he adhered to the guidance given.
Born on April 21, 1960, Orji Uzor Kalu is currently 66 years old. He served as Governor of Abia State from 1999 to 2007 and is a serving senator representing Abia North. He previously contested the presidential election in 2007 under the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), the party he founded.
The prophecy comes amid ongoing political discussions about the 2027 general elections and beyond. Kalu has in the past publicly expressed presidential ambitions, though he has more recently voiced support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Primate Ayodele is known for issuing regular prophecies concerning Nigerian politicians and national affairs. His latest message to Kalu has drawn attention on social media and in political circles, with observers noting the cleric’s emphasis on familial guidance as a key condition for the fulfilment of the prediction.
The statement remains a prophetic declaration and does not constitute a confirmed political outcome.
