Primate Elijah Ayodele warns of potential “End SARS 2.0” protest over economic hardship

Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church issued a stark warning to President Bola Tinubu, highlighting the urgent need to address hunger and electricity woes in Nigeria.

Ayodele cautioned that failure to act swiftly could lead to a massive protest akin to the EndSARS movement.

He emphasized that the protest, expected between August and September 2024, would engulf all sectors of the nation, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with the current administration’s handling of economic challenges.

Ayodele’s spokesperson, Oluwatosin Osho, conveyed the message, stressing the gravity of the situation and the need for immediate action to avert a crisis. Addressing Tinubu directly, Ayodele urged proactive measures to ensure food security and combat inflation, warning of dire consequences if left unaddressed.

He called for a declaration of a state of emergency on the economy and electricity sectors, citing their continued deterioration as pressing concerns.

Furthermore, Primate Elijah Ayodele highlighted the critical importance of agriculture in mitigating hardship and emphasized the need for practical solutions over political rhetoric.

He underscored the urgency of improving the power supply to prevent further economic decline and cautioned against complacency or reliance on propaganda.

Ayodele’s warning serves as a wake-up call for leaders to prioritize the welfare of the people and take decisive action to address the nation’s pressing challenges before they escalate further.
