Primate Ayodele to Tinubu: Your extravagant spending killing Nigeria’s economy

Primate Elijah Ayodele, Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has strongly condemned the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for its extravagant spending despite the country’s economic struggles.

In a scathing statement released through his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele accused the government of prioritising lavish spending over economic recovery.

He cited recent purchases made in favor of government officials as evidence of this misplaced priority.

He noted that the economy of Nigeria will not smile with the government’s attitude which involves lavish unnecessary spending.

“President Tinubu is further destroying Nigeria’s economy instead of looking for ways to repair it. The unnecessary lavish spending isn’t helping the country. Sometimes I wonder if these government officials don’t know what is going on because if they do, the government shouldn’t be buying some things at this trying time.

‘’I still don’t see our economy smiling in 2025, the government should cut costs, the government is killing the economy with all these unnecessary expenditures, Nigeria is in real trouble but the government is acting like it doesn’t care,” he stated.
