According to Ayodele, Nigerian politics is complex and often unpredictable, with leaders needing to anticipate opposition, shifting alliances, and the ambitions of both supporters and rivals. He noted that a lack of careful planning or neglecting necessary steps can derail even the most promising political plans.
Ayodele further emphasized that anyone seeking the presidency must be strategic, build strong political structures, and cultivate loyalty among supporters. He advised that careful planning, disciplined action, and seeking spiritual guidance are crucial for navigating the intense competition at the national level.

Ayodele concluded by urging Wike to remain focused on both strategic and spiritual preparation, noting that long-term political success depends on foresight, careful planning, and strong grassroots support, as well as doing what is needful before pursuing higher office.
