In a recent statement, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu regarding the escalating prices of food items across Nigeria. Speaking on Tuesday, the revered cleric stressed the urgent need for a sustainable solution to the food crisis, urging the president to address this pressing issue if he wishes to maintain peace within his administration.According to Primate Ayodele, the Tinubu-led government appears to be struggling with the challenge of price reduction. He believes that internal sabotage is playing a significant role in complicating the issue, with certain individuals allegedly planning to use it against the current administration.In a statement released by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele criticized the government's short-term efforts to reduce food prices, warning that these temporary measures would only result in greater hardship if a more comprehensive, long-term solution is not implemented soon."This government doesn’t know what to do regarding the price of food items; they are already confused," Primate Ayodele remarked. "The situation has been sabotaged, and it will be used as propaganda against the government. I foresee no peace in Tinubu’s administration if food prices continue to rise. Hardship will persist, and the government's approach of creating short-term solutions will not work. It will only lead to more suffering. People are being deceived into believing that prices have reduced, but it’s simply not true."The prophet also took a moment to commend churches and individuals who have stepped in to assist those suffering from the high cost of living. However, he emphasized that while their efforts are appreciated, the government must take the lead in providing lasting relief."Churches and individuals have been trying their best to help alleviate the situation, and I commend everyone who has participated so far. But no one can replace the government. The government has a lot more to do to make these efforts more effective," he added.
