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.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Says Nigeria Lacks a Maintenance Culture
The Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has spoken on Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country lacks a good maintenance culture.
She said “The fact is that endowments alone do not add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good maintenance.”
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say that. I’m Nigerian, but we need that. We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires focus. It requires prioritisation.”

Politician and former presidential candidate Peter Obi speaks on President Bola Tinubu’s comments regarding the rising hunger and worsening economic situation in Nigeria.
It can be noted that the President recently stated that hunger has always existed in Nigeria.
Peter Obi responded “I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.”
“While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today.”
