Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a warning on Saturday that President Bola Tinubu is not the savior Nigeria requires.
Speaking to journalists in Lagos, Ayodele stated that Tinubu’s primary role is to fortify Nigeria’s democracy, but he predicted that there would be minimal improvement in the nation’s economy.
Ayodele also forecasted that Tinubu would face significant difficulties if he decides to run for a second term, emphasizing that there would be immense pressure on him and advising Tinubu to pay attention to his health.
Addressing Nigeria’s security issues, Ayodele argued that the establishment of state police forces is not the solution.
He expressed concerns that state police could be exploited by some politicians to create further insecurity and disorder.
According to him, while Nigeria has competent Service Chiefs, substantial improvements in their performance are necessary to tackle insecurity effectively.
Looking ahead to the upcoming elections in Edo State, Ayodele warned that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is at risk of a significant loss if Governor Godwin Obaseki fails to negotiate with influential stakeholders.
He also predicted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would lose in Anambra State, resulting in a victory for Governor Charles Soludo.
