Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued a stark warning to President Bola Tinubu, urging him to prioritize solving Nigeria’s economic challenges to avert potential civil unrest. In a statement conveyed by his spokesman, Oluwatosin Osho, the clergyman emphasized that the deteriorating economic situation demands urgent attention, cautioning that failure to address it promptly could lead to widespread protests.
Ayodele articulated the prevailing distress in the country, citing widespread hunger and the inability of many wage earners to meet their basic needs with their incomes. He cautioned Tinubu against complacency, admonishing that proactive measures are imperative to prevent escalating discontent among the populace.
Expressing concern for the potential ramifications, Ayodele underscored the gravity of the situation, highlighting the far-reaching impact on not only Nigeria but also neighboring African nations. He implored the president to take decisive action, emphasizing the urgent need to ameliorate the prevailing hardship.
The clergyman’s admonition comes in the wake of his 2024 prophecies, wherein he outlined five critical areas for President Tinubu’s focused attention. These encompassed the imperative of ensuring stable electricity supply, enhancing security measures, investing in infrastructure, bolstering agricultural production, and fostering employment creation as pivotal pillars for Nigeria’s progress.
As economic pressures continue to mount, and the stakes grow higher, Primate Ayodele’s admonition underscores the immediacy of the situation, serving as a trenchant reminder for leaders to heed the clarion call for meaningful reform and strategic intervention to avert a looming crisis.
