The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has revealed that the fight against corruption in Nigeria isn’t real and effective.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele made it known that several politicians, businessmen, and individuals will be jailed if indeed Nigeria wants to fight corruption in the system.
He mentioned that corruption is one of the greatest killers of the Nigerian economy because people in the system are accumulating wealth in dubious ways and it is the reason the economy of Nigeria will continue to go down the drain.
‘’To end corruption, so many things will happen, a lot of people including politicians, businessmen, individuals, even pastors will be jailed if indeed Nigeria wants to fight corruption as it ought to be. The fight against corruption in Nigeria is sentimental. The country is living beyond Her income and the expectation is too high. Nobody wants to build anymore, people want to wake up to riches.
‘’Until people stop accumulating wealth, we will continue to have issues in this country, our economy will still not be anything to write home about because of corruption.’’
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele advised the government to expand the country’s means of income by partnering with states that have resources to help the economy. He stated that minimum wage implementation will still affect the country except means of income is increased.
‘’There are some states that should be resourceful for Nigeria because if we are not careful, our economy will become worse. Let’s utilize states that have resources to increase our income. The minimum wage we are celebrating may still cause us to cry if we are not careful, it will add to the instability in our country except our means of income receives an addition.’’
