Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu, labeling him an incompetent leader. According to Primate Ayodele, Nigeria's independence is yet to be truly experienced due to the country's bad leadership. He expressed these views in a statement released by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin.

Primate Ayodele emphasized that Nigeria's current state of independence is marred by hardship and hunger. He argued that the government focuses more on complaining about the nation's problems rather than providing solutions. This, he believes, is a clear indication that the country is not yet truly independent.

The cleric further stated that President Tinubu's leadership is not equipped to bring about the kind of independence Nigeria needs. He described the current state of affairs as "independence of stagnancy and hunger." Primate Ayodele also expressed concern that the government's approach to problem-solving is inadequate.

Primate Ayodele also criticized the Muslim-Muslim ticket, describing it as a form of bondage rather than freedom. He argued that this ticket does not represent true independence for Nigeria. According to him, the only way Nigeria can achieve true independence is through restructuring, which he believes the government is not ready to consider.

The cleric described the Nigerian government as selfish and careless, stating that this is why citizens have yet to experience true independence. He also expressed disappointment that the government does not have plans in place for the younger generation. Primate Ayodele emphasized that bad leadership has commercialized and sabotaged Nigeria's independence.

Primate Ayodele's comments come at a time when Nigerians are grappling with economic hardship and other challenges. His views reflect a broader concern among some Nigerians about the country's leadership and its impact on their lives. The cleric's statement has sparked reactions from various quarters, with some agreeing with his assessment of the country's situation.

Key points from Primate Ayodele's statement include the need for restructuring to achieve true independence and the criticism of the Muslim-Muslim ticket as a form of bondage. He also emphasized that bad leadership has hindered Nigeria's progress and that the government needs to prioritize the needs of its citizens, particularly the younger generation.
