The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has urged President Bola Tinubu to heed recent remarks by the Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, warning that public dissatisfaction could have electoral consequences if current challenges are not addressed.
Speaking during a church service in Lagos, Ayodele said the President should pay attention to the concerns raised by the senior Catholic cleric rather than dismiss them, describing them as a reflection of the mood across the country.
The cleric commended Onaiyekan for what he described as his courage in speaking truth to power, adding that some religious leaders had failed to offer similar counsel to the President.
“This is what I expected all these babas of faith, I don’t want to mention their names because it’s not sounding right before God,” Ayodele said.
He continued, “I give it to Archbishop Onaiyekan for what he has said to the president. Leave him, if Tinubu like let him take or not but there is anger and hunger in the land.”
