Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against being deceived by those around him, asserting that Nigeria is still in distress.
Ayodele’s remarks came in response to Tinubu’s recent claim that Nigeria is no longer bleeding due to the reforms implemented by his administration.
In a statement released by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele argued that the situation is worsening daily, with Nigerians suffering from the economic hardships brought on by the current administration. He emphasized that inflation has made essential commodities unaffordable, and it is highly insensitive to suggest that things are improving.
According to Ayodele: ‘’Nigeria is still bleeding, it may not affect the rich but every day, people are crying because of how bad things are.
“Tinubu should do a survey of prices of commodities in the market and see how bad things are for Nigerians.
“People are in anguish, Tinubu must not allow anyone deceive him that it is well, it is not yet well. People can’t afford a three-square meal, it’s getting worse every day. Don’t be deceived at all; people are in serious pain except those who are in government.’’
‘’I am close to the grass root and I know how much I spend to support the masses just to feed.
“Tinubu should not celebrate anything because Nigerians are suffering. The cost of living has increased; the standard of living has dropped drastically. Don’t be deceived, people are sad,” he said.
