In a stern caution to Chief Bola Tinubu, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has criticized Vice President Kashim Shettima and Senate President Godswill Akpabio for their dismissive stance on recent protests against hardship.
Ayodele, through his spokesman Oluwatosin Osho, conveyed that Shettima and Akpabio are deceiving Tinubu by labeling the protests as sponsored. He emphasized that the Nigerian populace is genuinely suffering, and their grievances are not to be trivialized as mere political maneuvers.
Ayodele stated, “The country needs urgent action otherwise Nigeria will continue to experience difficulty. Tinubu should not mind those who are deceiving him, people are in pain and no one is sponsoring any protest.
“People are angry and feeling the heat of the economy. Tinubu should ignore any side talks that are not relevant to what is happening at this moment, everything is upside down.

‘’Tinubu should act before it’s too late. Akpabio’s statement about the protest isn’t a wise talk; it’s simply insensitive. Shetimma and Akpabio saying protests are sponsored is out of character.
“Nobody is sponsoring anything, the people are just hungry and these are what God said will happen in your government. Nigeria doesn’t deserve such irrelevant statements now. Instead of blaming people, your government should get to work,” the Clergyman added.
