According to Daily Post, On Saturday, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a warning regarding President Bola Tinubu's role in Nigeria's future. Speaking to journalists in Lagos, Ayodele stated that while Tinubu might play a significant role in strengthening the country's democracy, his presidency would not substantially impact Nigeria's economic situation. This cautionary message highlights the challenges facing Nigeria and the limited scope of change anticipated under Tinubu's leadership.

Primate Ayodele emphasized that Nigeria’s economic conditions are unlikely to improve significantly in the near future. He predicted that the nation would continue to face economic hardships and confusion until at least 2025. This stark forecast suggests that Nigerians should brace for continued economic challenges, despite any political changes or reforms that might occur during Tinubu's tenure.

In his address, Ayodele also raised concerns about the prospect of President Tinubu seeking a second term. He warned that Tinubu would encounter significant challenges if he chose to run for re-election. These potential difficulties could stem from various political and social dynamics within the country, posing substantial obstacles for Tinubu's political ambitions beyond his current term.

Furthermore, Ayodele expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of state police in addressing Nigeria’s security issues. He argued that implementing state police would not solve the country's insecurity problems and might even exacerbate them. According to Ayodele, some politicians could misuse state police forces as tools to further their own interests, potentially leading to increased instability and insecurity.

He said: “Nothing much in the economy, we are still going to experience more hardship till 2025 and confusion in our economy.
