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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
