Primate Elijah Ayodele, the head of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has threatened to shut down Nigeria if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not handle the economic crisis within the next three months.
He stated that people “will storm the streets in their numbers to cry out against the government instead of waiting for the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, or any organization to lead protests.”
Ayodele claimed in a statement released by his media assistant Oluwatosin Osho that if the president is unable to find a long-term solution to the country’s economic woes, things will come to a “standstill” in the nation.
He pleaded with the president to view his message not as a threat but rather as divine guidance to protect the nation from approaching peril.
“If the economic hardship doesn’t end in the next three months, Nigerians will bring the country to a total shutdown with massive protests and disorderliness,” claims Ayodele.
“This won’t be the typical protest that the NLC or TUC organize; instead, people will take to the streets to demonstrate on their own behalf, bringing the entire nation to a stop for days.
“President Tinubu should take every step possible to improve the economy. He must make adjustments and take all necessary steps to prevent the country’s collapse, which will harm both the wealthy and the poor. People will start to protest, and employees will avoid going to work.
“Nigeria will shut down in three months if there is no adjustment, and this is not a threat.” What I perceive is not appealing, thus the president should take this as heavenly guidance.
