President Tinubu Finally Listens To Primate Ayodele, Begins Sales Of Rice For N40,000

The federal government of Nigeria led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has finally listened to the advice of Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele regarding the reduction of hardship in the country.

Primate Ayodele who warned Nigerians that the All Progressive Congress (APC) would cause Nigeria to sink made it known months ago that the only way Nigeria can end hardship is by subsidizing the price of food items in the country.

The prophet, to show the government how to do it right, launched a palliative market initiative where prices of food materials were ridiculously crashed. So far, Primate Ayodele has held five different editions in Lagos, Ogun and Ekiti states to support the government and to let them know that what he advised them to do is possible.

At different editions of the Palliative Markets, Primate Ayodele sold bags of rice for as low as N10,000, beans for the same price, cartons of noodles for N1,000, litres of groundnut oil for N2,000, bags of garri, crates of eggs, tubers of yam, and many more for ridiculous prices.

During the time of his advice and demonstrations to the government, President Tinubu-led administration took some decisions, which Primate Ayodele frowned at.

One of them was sending N8,000 to vulnerable Nigerians which the government announced in 2023 but was quickly dropped when prominent Nigerians like Primate Ayodele spoke against it. According to Primate Ayodele, the cash transfer would lead to more corruption and will not affect the economy positively.

“The N8,000 palliative is corruption, I see nothing in the palliative and it will not reach out to the poor masses. Even though Mr President has signed it, it will not make any impact. The governors will use it for their selfish needs. The poor will not enjoy it at all.’’

While he spoke against the N8,000 palliative, he advised the government to increase the minimum wage which will have a greater positive effect than the palliative which he described as a total waste. It is of course worthy to note that the government has increased the minimum age, as advised by Primate Ayodele.

“If truly the government is concerned about the masses, the minimum wage should be increased to N100,000. It will go a long way in cushioning the effects of subsidy removal and inflation. The minimum wage increase will have a direct impact on the people than N8,000 palliatives.”

Again, Primate Ayodele in a video told the government that if the prices of food commodities are not reduced, there will be no breakthrough for the present government.

‘’The food they want to sell will not help the society, crash the price of food items, it will lead to your total breakthrough and by the time price of food comes down, the dollar will crash…..’’
