The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has claimed that Nigeria is still living in bondage despite celebrating 63 years of independence.
He stated that issues like economic hardship, insecurity, inability to afford basic amenities were preventing the people from experiencing the dividend of democracy and independence.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele explained that Nigeria has nothing to show for the 63rd anniversary due to bad leaders.
According to Ayodele ‘’Our leaders must go to God, ruling without leadership in Nigeria will run to jeopardy. This government needs to sustain Nigeria by creating employment, making the economy better because there is terrible hardship.
“The significance of the government attracts four things and they are security, economy, international relations and our natural resources.
“If this government isn’t careful about it, they will fail. For them not to fail it, they must take steps.
‘’This government doesn’t need noise, Nigerians need to feel the impact of democracy and independence. In the real sense, we are not independent yet, our independence doesn’t give us freedom, we are still staying in bondage.
“The economy is hard, there is insecurity, people are dropping out of school, let them not raise false hopes. This government is making promises that can’t be fulfilled, they need to do things that are realistic and will help the people enjoy independence better.’
‘’Spiritually, Nigeria needs prayer, the structure of the country is shaking, we are not an independent nation yet. We are not giant of Africa, some small countries run 24 hours light in Africa but we are nowhere to be found.’’
