Insecurity: Ayodele warns state actors
The cleric advised the governors to increase their security, 'to avoid such an embarrassing situation from occurring.'
Primate Ayodele said:
“Governors in the northern part must increase their security so that terrorists will not attempt a coup to remove a governor or shut down the government offices. They can even vacate some Emirs from power in the north. They have local and international backup, and this must not be taken lightly. Let’s navigate solutions spiritually and technologically because this will trigger America’s annoyance.”

“Bandits are planning serious attacks in Borno, Bauchi, Katsina, Niger, Adamawa, Zamfara, Ondo, Edo, Kaduna, and Taraba states. It will be serious, and all the military formations must be on alert, schools, markets, too; this one will provoke America more in February, March, April.”
