The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has criticised Nigerian bishops who recently endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term.

Primate Ayodele in a statement by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin said:

“Bishops endorsing President Tinubu are hungry and looking for what to eat. They didn’t do that endorsement because they love Tinubu but because they need some things from him.”

“They just want to secure their next meal, and that is why they are singing the praises of the president. The president must exercise caution before expressing joy over the endorsement because it is totally fake.”

“They are not doing it based on divine orders or God’s direction; there is no way God would give such direction. They are only lying on God’s name because of food; it’s such a bad thing that these bishops reduced the name of God to this level.”

“Even politicians who are singing the praises of President Tinubu and endorsing him for a second term are not doing it for the love of the president; they are all doing it for selfish interests. They are not different from these bishops.”

“If President Tinubu doesn’t give them what they want, they will be the first people to turn against him and endorse another person.”

“President Tinubu must know that endorsements cannot get him anywhere near a second term if he doesn’t perform well for the people. Endorsements mean nothing; it is only his activities that can either secure or make him lose a second term in office. It would be better if he buckled up and put his house in order instead of allowing these endorsements to get into his head.”
