Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the economic hardship in Nigeria, warning that protests could erupt if the situation is not resolved. Ayodele emphasized the need for Tinubu to prioritize economic issues and not wait until the public resorts to protests and demonstrations.
In a statement, Ayodele expressed concern about the worsening economic conditions, stating that people are hungry, and salary earners are struggling to sustain themselves. He urged the president to take immediate action to alleviate the suffering of the people, emphasizing that the economic challenges could lead to widespread protests if left unattended.
The clergyman recommended that Tinubu focus on key areas such as stable electricity supply, improved security with the acquisition of more weapons, development of infrastructural facilities, emphasis on agriculture to ensure food security, and the creation of employment opportunities.
Primate Ayodele highlighted the urgency of addressing these issues to prevent escalating discontent among the populace. The warning comes amidst growing concerns about the economic difficulties faced by Nigerians, including rising inflation, unemployment, and general financial hardship.
The clergyman’s plea echoes the sentiments of many Nigerians who are calling for swift and effective measures to address the economic challenges facing the country.
