Popular seer and leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has once again raised concerns about the economic challenges facing Nigeria.

The renowned prophet issued a fresh warning to President Bola Tinubu, urging him to take decisive action to alleviate the ongoing hardship in the country.

He said: “Nigerians should not be deceived; we will still face economic hardship this year because the government is yet to do what they are supposed to do.”

“For instance, our borders are not officially open and due to this, things are getting tougher. Let’s not deceive ourselves.”

“Petrol will still come down, but not now. Let’s prepare to buy petrol for N1,200 soon. Local rice will be sold for N100,000, while imported rice will go for N140,000.”

“Other food commodities like yam, beans, and vegetable oil will continue to rise. Even spiritual items like anointing oil will become unaffordable for Christians.”

“The rice palliative is only encouraging corruption; it is not alleviating any hardship; rather, it’s adding to it. Hardship isn’t from heaven but the handiwork of men who are in charge of power. I don’t see this hunger going away anytime soon because there will be hardship in every sector.”

“Just like I have said before, if the government isn’t careful, people will start stoning them. Let them create committees to fight against these hardships on all fronts because it will be something else.”
