The leader of INRI Evangelical Church, Primate Ayodele, has advised President Bola Tinubu to change his approach towards economic hardship, as he still foresees more economic crisis for Nigeria.
In an issued statement, signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the cleric commended President Tinubu for his intervention in the Naira devaluation issue, but maintained that the Government hasn’t done the right thing to tackle economic hardship in the country.
He made it known that things are still going to be expensive and there will still be more inflation unless the Government improves agriculture and ensures Nigeria produces and refines petroleum products in the country.
Primate Ayodele stated that the government has more to do because the masses will still be struggling, while calling on the Federal Government to create another economic formula. He also made it known that the perceived economic improvement will only be a façade unless the Government tackles it the right way instead of cutting corners.
He further explained that if the Government doesn’t do the right thing about Nigeria’s economy, more problems will be created while trying to solve the present one.
He said, ‘’Economic hardship is still lurking around; there is more for the government to do. The masses will still be struggling, and there will still be an increase in tariffs in the telecommunication sector. The economic situation will affect banks and the stock exchange.
‘’The President should change the strategy of approaching the economic problems; another formula that will help the country should be created. The economy is still shaking, and what Nigerians see now as improvement will be a façade if the Government doesn’t tackle it the right way, or else, we will buy sachet water for N100, Coke for N800, a tuber of yam for N2,000, local rice for N50,000, a stick of corn for N500. More States will still face salaries issues, the Government will be looking for so many ways to recover the economy; but it should be done the right way, if not, we will only create another problem while trying to solve one’’.
