In a statement released on Friday, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, advised President Bola Tinubu to consider replacing his ministers and aides, attributing them as contributors to challenges within his government.
Primate Ayodele emphasized that the ongoing protests are not solely targeted at Tinubu, but are also a reflection of the incompetence displayed by his team of ministers and aides.
Expressing concern over the state of the nation, Ayodele suggested that Tinubu could quell public discontent by lowering the prices of essential commodities such as food, fuel, and electricity.
He warned that should the protests persist, it could have detrimental effects on the country’s stability.
The spiritual leader also singled out Senate President Godswill Akpabio as a source of trouble for President Tinubu.
Ayodele addressed Tinubu, stating: “The current situation in the country demands urgent action on reducing the prices of basic necessities like food, power, and fuel. By making these adjustments, public grievances can be minimized, and the government’s credibility can be restored. It is imperative for Tinubu to ensure better coordination among his ministers to avert further unrest.”
Adding insight on the government’s economic challenges, Ayodele advised that by heeding wise counsel, the administration could reverse its current misfortunes.
“Predictions of the nation’s economic woes were made in the past. However, it is not too late to correct these errors and turn the situation around. Constructive feedback is essential for progress, and Tinubu must act swiftly to address pressing issues like the unfulfilled promises related to the availability of subsidized rice to the populace,” remarked Ayodele.
