Ayodele warns Tinubu over insecurity

He noted that insecurity in Nigeria remains a major national challenge and warned that there are plans for more deadly attacks unless urgent action is taken.

Primate Ayodele said:

“Tinubu needs to handle the issue of insecurity well; it needs serious deliberation, especially towards the election, so they won’t truncate his government. If he doesn’t listen, he will be the one to lose everything in the end.
"He (President Tinubu) needs to wake up now and start planning to eliminate insecurity as soon as possible because I see something serious coming.”

The cleric warned that Nigerians could eventually unite in frustration against the government if the situation persists.

He said:

“Tinubu has till August (2026) to drastically reduce the operations of bandits and terrorists in Nigeria; otherwise, Nigerians will speak with one voice to kick him out of government. His fate is in his hands; it’s not yet time for him to focus on politics but on true governance, which entails securing the lives of citizens. The terrorists are planning to carry out more serious attacks, and if care isn’t taken, this will be used against Tinubu’s government. He must act fast.”

'Insecurity in Nigeria worsening economy'

Furthermore, Ayodele said insecurity is worsening Nigeria’s economic crisis, urging President Tinubu to utilise resources across states better to boost economic growth.

His words:

“The insecurity is causing economic crisis, and I don’t think the finance minister understands the situation. We have governors of Taraba, Zamfara, Kogi who have resources in their states that can help the nation; the president should make use of that.”
Primate Elijah Ayodele warns that insecurity is worsening Nigeria’s economic crisis as Nigerians prepare for the 2027 election, urging President Bola Tinubu to better utilise resources across states to boost economic growth.
