Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, said Ruto could face increased pressure as young Kenyans organise demonstrations to demand changes in government.
The cleric also claimed that the protests could create fresh challenges for Ruto’s political ambitions as he prepares for another presidential contest.

“A protest is coming to embarrass and cause confusion for the second-term ambition of President Ruto. He must not sleep and must be ready for more turbulence.”
“Let them watch out for political tension and shootings. The youths will still organise another heavy protest to demand Ruto’s exit.”
The latest prophecy comes against a backdrop of heightened political activity in Kenya as political parties and leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 elections.
Kenya has witnessed several youth-led demonstrations in recent years, with young people raising concerns over governance, economic conditions, employment opportunities and the cost of living.
“Ruto will face a lot of political crises; some politicians want to blackmail Ruto. He must be careful with religious institutions and economic development.”
The Nigerian prophet has previously issued several political predictions concerning Kenya and Ruto.
In June, Ayodele warned that the president could face increasing pressure from opposition leaders and political groups seeking new ways to challenge his administration.
At the time, he predicted that Kenya would enter a politically sensitive period as the government and opposition forces intensified their activities.
“Kenya: The country will face various challenges, especially for the president. The opposition will stand out to see if they bring a shocking strategy against Ruto. If Ruto isn’t careful, these protests will destroy his government.”
In April, the prophet similarly warned of stronger opposition cooperation, suggesting that coalition-building could create a formidable political challenge for Ruto ahead of the 2027 election.

The latest remarks therefore add to a series of political predictions Ayodele has made about Kenya’s leadership, opposition politics and possible demonstrations.
Ayodele also issued predictions concerning several other African countries, including Guinea, Botswana, Namibia and Tanzania.
For Tanzania, he urged President Samia Suluhu Hassan to remain cautious over political developments and claimed that some individuals could seek to undermine her achievements.
“Tanzania: With all the efforts of the president, people will not appreciate her efforts. She has done well, but people will not see it. They will want to rubbish her efforts towards the end.”
He further claimed that political actors could attempt to block Samia’s political prospects and discredit her administration.
“They want to block all her political prospects. Due to her political antecedents, she has to pray not to lose something that will pain her heavily. She needs prayers because some people are planning to discredit her.”
