Primate Ayodele Critiques Tinubu's Fuel Discount Plan

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, expressed strong criticism regarding President Tinubu's proposed 30-day fuel discount, which was announced by Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele on October 8. Ayodele described the proposal as indicative of confusion within the government, suggesting it reflects a struggle to maintain relevance as the 2027 general elections approach.

He emphasized that the government should exercise caution, particularly concerning Tinubu's campaign activities. Furthermore, Ayodele referenced previous warnings about the administration's handling of security issues, particularly regarding ransom payments, which he labeled as dishonest.

He also cautioned that if Tinubu were to be re-elected, Nigeria could face even more challenging times than currently experienced. The Finance Minister did not provide details on the expected discount per litre or the final pump price for motorists.
