The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele on Tuesday asked President Bola Tinubu to solve hunger and electricity problems in the country in order to avoid an impending massive protest that will affect every sector.
Primate Ayodele revealed that if there is no solution to economic hardship, the protest will come up between August and September 2024.
In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele made it known that it will be bigger than the popular EndSARS protest because every Nigerian will participate in order to express their displeasure with the current administration.
He said, ‘’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.’’
Continuing, the prophet advised the president to declare a state of emergency on economy and electricity because both sectors are not improving. He advised the president to improve on agriculture while urging him to avoid propaganda and face 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.
“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,’’ he added.
