• Three Nigerians could derail Tinubu’s 2027 bid, Primate Ayodele warns
The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that bandits and terrorists are planning heavy reprisal attacks against the country following the attack launched by US in Sokoto against the Islamic sect.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele made it known that the “USA isn’t helping Nigeria”, explaining that the missile launch “is just a disguise to carry out the agenda of the Western country against Nigeria”.
He noted that the terrorists are ready for whatever the outcome would be and that the Nigerian military must come together to strategise to avoid a retrogression in the fight against insecurity.
He made it known that the attack has exposed the powerlessness of Tinubu’s government and that it won’t stop insecurity or banditry.
“Nigerians shouldn’t celebrate yet, and President Tinubu shouldn’t celebrate either, because the powerlessness of his government is getting exposed, and America can come up with anything against him. This won’t stop kidnapping or insecurity in Nigeria.
“The government of Nigeria must work on it because the US cannot do it without the Nigerian government. Another bombing is coming up, and these bandits are ready for the consequences. They are also ready to counter-attack heavily; the government must get prepared for the outcome.”
Furthermore, the cleric explained that those negotiating with the terrorists are one of the nation’s enemies, noting that they need to be brought to book if Nigeria wants to end insecurity in the country. However, he revealed that America’s involvement will expose the terrorism financiers in the country.
“America will expose the terrorist financiers, but what is going to happen to those negotiating with the bandits? These ones are the major problems, and if the country is serious about insecurity, the military must go after these negotiators. This needs serious planning so it won’t get worse,” he added (Nigerian Tribune)
