Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has predicted that Nigeria’s economy will not witness improvement in the current year.
Ayodele attributed the challenges to both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), emphasising that the APC holds a more significant share in the issues faced by the country.
The spiritual leader expressed skepticism about Bola Tinubu’s ability to perform any sudden magic to turn around the economic situation. He criticized government initiatives, citing the sale of rice by Customs for N10,000 as a failed effort due to poor organization.
Ayodele underscored the failure of both APC and PDP, stating that improvements, if any, might occur towards the end of the following year. He emphasized the need for sincere prayers and cautioned that the situation could only improve with appropriate government actions.
The spiritual leader urged the government to collaborate with local manufacturers and highlighted the importance of agriculture in economic recovery.
The Clergyman stated, “Let us be sincere with ourselves: both APC and PDP have failed Nigeria, but the highest percentage goes to APC. The blame is on Tinubu because the situation got worse when it got to his turn.
“Nigerians should be aware that things will not get better this year. Tinubu cannot perform any magic, and if at all things want to get better, it will be towards the end of next year,” he added.
