BREAKING: Primate Ayodele to Tinubu: Petrol going back to N1,200

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to still address the issue of hardship in the country because gloomy days are fast approaching, with petrol returning to N1,200.

The Man of God with church headquarters in Lagos said this during the release of his 2025 prophecies on December 20, 2024.

Primate Ayodele stated that petrol, which has now dropped to N945/litre will return to N1,200/litre if President Tinubu doesn’t address the issue of hardship as soon as possible.

The prophet mentioned some commodities that would become unaffordable for the common men while urging the President to create a lasting solution.

Among the solutions he suggested are the opening of borders and enhancement of agriculture in the country.

He said: “Nigerians shouldn’t be deceived; we will still face economic hardship this year because the government is yet to do what they are supposed to do.

“For instance, our borders are not opened officially and due to this, things are getting tougher, let’s not deceive ourselves.

“Petrol will still come down but not now, let’s prepare to buy petrol for N1,200 soon, local rice will be sold for N100,000 while imported rice will go for N140,000.

“Other food commodities like yam, beans, and vegetable oil will continue to be on the rise.

“Even spiritual items like anointing oil will become unaffordable for Christians.”

Furthermore, Ayodele chastised President Tinubu for the rice palliatives shared through politicians, explaining that it won’t alleviate poverty or hardship.

He said: “The rice palliative is only encouraging corruption, it is not alleviating any hardship rather it’s adding to it.

“Hardship isn’t from heaven but the handiwork of men who are in charge of power.

“I don’t see this hunger going anytime soon because there will be hardship in every sector.

“Just like I have said before, if the government isn’t careful, people will start stoning them, let them create committees to fight against these hardships on all fronts because it will be something else.”
