According to report, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued a stark warning about the economic future of Nigeria, predicting increased hardship in 2025.
In a statement released on Friday, Ayodele emphasized that without urgent government intervention, citizens may resort to revolt due to mounting frustrations over economic struggles.
The statement, communicated through his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, painted a bleak picture of the current state of the nation.
"Nigerians are suffering, but it will bite harder next year unless the government does what is expected of it," Ayodele cautioned.
He asserted that the government's failure to adequately address pressing economic issues has set the stage for an impending crisis.
Ayodele highlighted that the predicted economic challenges would not only intensify but could also lead to a significant backlash from the populace.
"The hardship is coming up and will bite Nigeria hard next year," he stated, underlining the urgency for government action.
He warned that the severity of the economic situation could triple compared to current conditions, urging government officials to heed the warning and act decisively.
"Economic hardship will be times three of what we are experiencing now next year; the government must be careful so that the citizens will not revolt."
The Primate's remarks reflect growing discontent among citizens, who have been grappling with rising inflation, unemployment, and deteriorating living standards.
Many Nigerians are already feeling the pinch, and Ayodele's predictions suggest that the situation could escalate dramatically if no measures are taken.
"In economic terms, we are looking at a kind of economic blackout," Ayodele asserted, suggesting that the consequences of inaction could lead to a complete breakdown in economic stability.
The potential for civil unrest looms large, and the Primate urged the government to prioritize the welfare of its citizens to avert a crisis.
Ayodele's comments come at a time when various sectors in Nigeria are experiencing significant challenges, from the agricultural industry to essential services.
The call for action resonates with the sentiments of many who feel abandoned by the government amid ongoing struggles.
As the country approaches a pivotal year, the pressure mounts on the Nigerian government to take proactive steps to mitigate the anticipated economic downturn.
Primate Ayodele's forewarnings serve as a clarion call for both leaders and citizens to engage in meaningful dialogue and action to secure a more stable future.
