“Our security situation is going to be alarming because the security network is weak and the government has not taken steps to address it.
“Nowhere is safe in Nigeria as we speak, attackers have been penetrating churches, abducting pastors, it’s sad.
“Christians should brace up to put security in place both physically and spiritually because this government will not be able to handle the issue till 2023.
“The security situation of the country will also affect the elections in 2023, the date will be shifted again due to security crisis that will be facing the country.
“The fact is churches, mosques, students, schools, even security operatives are not safe, only God will help us with this issue of insecurity because the suicide bombers, killers are ready to destroy the security network in Nigeria.
“Everyone has to be vigilant especially in churches, church leaders must take the security of their members very seriously, I expect the CAN chairman to have called for meeting to address stakeholders in Christendom on security issues in churches.”
“Well, these are not new to me, God has shown me and I warned against these crisis before the beginning of this administration but they didn’t listen.
“As from November, the security will be very alarming, Governors in South West must come out to do something about the security of the region before it’s too late, the bad boys are everywhere in south west now.”
On the issue of ASUU strike, Primate Ayodele expressed his disappointment in the government for not handling it as top priority.
He said, “This government has been disappointing with the way they are handling ASUU Strike, and this is affecting the Nigerian economy negatively.
“When there is no school, how do you want the economy to grow? It’s impossible.
“ASUU deserves what they request for; the government should do the needful, the strike is part of Nigeria’s economic crisis, and it’s really sad that they are unable to resolve it.
“If things continue this way, the victory of the ruling party will be affected in 2023; people will vote against them massively.”
On the economy, the clergyman stated that it will continue to summersault because the government has not done the needful.
“The economy of Nigeria will continue to summersault, I had warned that some banks will be unhealthy, this is already happening with some banks consolidating, more of this will come due to the harsh economic condition of the country.
“Even CBN will have issues as a result of the economic condition.
“By August-September, there will be increment in food prices, if the government doesn’t address these issues, it will affect the victory of the ruling party in 2023.
“Nigeria is still going to face inflations, energy tariff will increase, salaries will not be enough to purchase things, Nigeria’s debt will also keep increasing, this government will hand over nothing to the coming administration.”
