The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has criticized the statement by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, claiming that President Bola Tinubu has restored hope to Nigerians.
Primate Ayodele contested Wike’s assertion, arguing that such a statement is “wrong” given the prevailing economic and security challenges in Nigeria.
During an inter-ministerial sector update to mark President Tinubu’s one year in office, Wike had stated that Tinubu has instilled hope in the minds of Nigerians since assuming office.
Reacting through a statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele stated: “There is no renewed hope anywhere yet from this government, the hope we need is the one that manifests and turns life around. There is no essential commodity that is cheap and affordable for the common man.
“It’s a wrong statement to say this administration has restored hope in the minds of Nigerians. This government must be honest with itself, there is no hope yet at all.”
