Primate Ayodele Urges President Tinubu to Sack Power Minister and Boost Police Salaries

In a statement by Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, the Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been advised to sack the Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, over his failure to address the country’s electricity issues.

Primate Ayodele, in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, said that Adelabu has not contributed to improving the situation in the power sector.

He further emphasized that a stable electricity supply would help reduce the impact of economic hardship on the citizens.

“Tinubu should sack the minister of power, Bayo Adelabu, if he wants to reform the power sector. State of emergency should be declared in that sector because nothing is happening.

If there’s power supply, this hardship will be minimal,” the statement read.

The spiritual leader also weighed in on the issue of state policing, suggesting that President Tinubu should increase the salaries of soldiers and policemen before embarking on state policing to ensure its success.

“You should also increase the salaries of our soldiers, police officers before we embark on state policing if we want it to work.

It’s a good initiative and indeed, what is needed in the country, but we need to go through the normal process to avoid the failure of a good initiative like this,” he said.

Furthermore, Primate Ayodele urged every state in the country to assist the Federal Government by supporting agriculture across the country.

He believes that addressing the issue of hunger will help alleviate the burden on the Federal Government.

“Every state should look for ways to help the federal government by supporting agriculture nationwide. Let us solve the issue of hunger before dollars kills us.

The resources we have in every state should be adequately used for the people,” he added.

As Nigeria grapples with various challenges, it is essential for the government to take the advice of concerned citizens and experts to find lasting solutions to the issues plaguing the nation.
