FCT, Abuja – The spiritual head of the Inri evangelical church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has declared that the dollar is not Nigeria’s problem.
Ayodele spoke in a video he shared across his social media pages recently.
According to the outspoken cleric, President Bola Tinubu should be keen on making Nigeria self-sufficient in food production.
Ayodele said:
“All this economic team you (President Tinubu) put together, they are deceiving you sir.
“Mr President, this is what the Lord say I should tell you. If this government fails, they will blame you. All the people you put there, they are just there for them to make name and money. You are the one struggling and working, and what you are struggling for is not getting results.”
He added:
“Food items remain expensive. I said it that dollar has never been our problem. Dollar is not an issue at this juncture. Mr President, if anything happens to your government, you are going to be blamed.
“Food is still expensive. Why is Garri still N65,000? Rice, all these prices they are putting on the internet, they are just using it to deceive you, Mr President. The economy is still hard.”
Primate Ayodele urged authorities to invest in agriculture in order to bring down the price of food commodities.
