Economy: ‘Find Solution Before Nigerians Start Stoning You’ – Primate Ayodele Warns Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has been warned to find a solution to the economic hardship in the country before Nigerians start stoning him.
Osun Defender had reported that Lagosians greeted President Bola Tinubu with hostility during the festive period.
In a video shared on social media, the President’s convoy was passing Idumota market in Lagos State, but traders lining both sides of the road refrained from cheering the president’s convoy.
Instead, they expressed their dissatisfaction about the present state of the economy shouting “Ebi npa wa oo” in Yoruba, translating to “We are hungry”.
The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, who gave the warning in a statement by his spokesman, Oluwatosin Osho, said
there will be massive protests if the president doesn’t solve the problem
The clergyman warned Tinubu to treat the economic situation of the country as top priority because it keeps getting worse by the day.
He said people are hungry and salary earners can no longer sustain themselves with their earnings.
He called on the president not to wait till people started stoning him and every politician before realizing that he needed to get to work.
He said, “If Tinubu doesn’t get to work immediately and find a way to solve our economic issues, there will be massive protests.
“The people are crying already, salary earners are not satisfied and it will get to a state where governors will not be able to pay salaries again.
“Don’t wait till they start stoning you and every politician before working, you need to do something now; there is serious hunger in the land. It will also affect some African nations. The president should do the needful.”
