Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, articulated that in the event of the nationwide protest on August 1 failing to materialize, President Bola Tinubu’s administration would not heed the grievances of Nigerians.
As per a communication released by his spokesperson, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele remarked that Tinubu‘s leadership had been inadequate in alleviating the prevalent hardship and hunger within the nation.
It was emphasized by Primate Ayodele that protest stands as the sole avenue through which the government may comprehend the suffering experienced by the populace.
Nonetheless, the esteemed prophet clarified that he does not advocate for protests, citing them as an inadequate remedy for the ongoing adversity.
He said: ‘’The protest is a wake-up call for the government, it is not a solution but it will make the President, governors, senators wake up. It will be a form of check and balance.
“This government has not done well to reduce the hardship in the country. Nigerians are tired but I won’t encourage protest; but there is no way this government will listen if such doesn’t happen.’’
He called on protesters to be peaceful in their approaches and avoid violence in order not to put the country in a state of anarchy.
‘’I also want to urge protesters not to put the country into a state of anarchy; they should be civil and peaceful in their approaches to the government,” he added.
