Primate Ayodele Urges Tinubu to Address Rising Food Prices for Government Stability
On Tuesday, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, cautioned President Bola Tinubu to find a sustainable solution to the soaring prices of food items if he hopes to maintain stability within his administration.
Primate Ayodele criticized the current approach of the Tinubu-led government, suggesting that it appears to be floundering in its efforts to tackle the issue of rising food costs.
He accused certain elements of undermining the government’s efforts and leveraging the situation to create political challenges for the administration.
In a statement released by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, the prophet warned that the government’s short-term measures to address food prices are insufficient and could potentially exacerbate the situation.
He argued that without a comprehensive and long-term strategy, the government’s attempts to mitigate the crisis will likely lead to increased hardship for the populace.
Ayodele expressed concern that the government’s current strategy is merely a temporary fix, which he believes will ultimately lead to more difficulties rather than relief.
“The government appears to be at a loss about how to handle the escalating prices of food items.
Their short-term solutions are not effective and will only bring about more suffering,” he stated. He also indicated that the ongoing rise in food prices could fuel unrest and make it challenging for the government to achieve peace and stability.
While Ayodele acknowledged the efforts of individuals and churches that have been working to ease the burden on the public, he emphasized that these contributions cannot substitute for substantial governmental action.
He commended the various entities that have been involved in alleviating hardship but stressed that the government has a crucial role to play in implementing effective and lasting solutions.
LeBron James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and Los Angeles Lakers star, has announced a temporary break from social media.
The 39-year-old made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram after sharing a post by Rich Kleiman, agent to NBA star Kevin Durant, criticizing the media’s focus on negativity.
Kleiman wrote, “With so much hate and negativity in the world today, it confuses me why some of the national sports media still think that the best way to cover sports is through negative takes… I, for one, find it all a waste of breath.” James shared the post, adding a simple comment: “AMEN!!”
In a follow-up post, James confirmed his social media hiatus, writing, “And with that said, I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care.”
James, known for his strong presence on and off the court, is taking this break amidst ongoing discussions about the role of media in shaping public perceptions of athletes.

Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.
At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.
The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.
The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.
Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
