Primate Ayodele Warns Tinubu That Mega Protest Bigger Than EndSARS Will Break Out
Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a warning to President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday, urging him to address the pressing issues of hunger and electricity in the nation to avert a looming massive protest that could paralyze every sector.
In a statement released by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele cautioned that if the economic hardships persist, a protest could erupt between August and September 2024, surpassing the scale of the EndSARS demonstration, with participation from all Nigerians expressing their dissatisfaction with the current administration.
Ayodele directly addressed President Tinubu, urging him, “President Tinubu, don’t allow another massive protest to come up, let there be food on the table of Nigerians. Do something about this inflation so that we can avoid inflation. I see another massive protest that will affect every quarter. If there is no improvement by August-September, it will be terrible.”
The prophet further advised the President to declare a state of emergency on the economy and electricity sectors, emphasizing their lack of improvement. He stressed the need for focus on agriculture and avoidance of propaganda in favor of confronting reality.
“President Tinubu should address the economic hardship now, he should also improve on electricity because if there is no adequate power supply, it will affect the economy badly. They should declare a state of emergency on electricity because nothing is improving. This aspect will affect the Nigerian economy,” Ayodele emphasized.
He continued, “The government should also improve on agriculture in order to prevent hardship that is uncalled for. There is a lot to do in order to bring the price of food commodities down, if you don’t do it now, there will be a massive protest. All this propaganda will not help, let them face reality.”
