Religious leader Primate Elijah Ayodele says President Bola Tinubu is an incompetent president and that Nigeria has not achieved true independence. In statements carried by outlets, Ayodele argues the country’s independence is characterised by hardship and hunger, and he links Nigeria’s challenges to leadership failures.
Ayodele also targets the political ticket, saying a Muslim-Muslim ticket does not represent freedom but “bondage.” He adds that the government often complains rather than provides solutions, and he criticises it for lacking plans for the younger generation.
Across the reports, Ayodele warns that “no amount of prayers” can resolve the situation if leadership is poor. He argues Nigeria’s path to genuine independence requires restructuring, but he says the current government is not willing to engage in that discussion. The outlets differ mainly in wording emphasis, but they present the same core claims and quotations attributed to Ayodele.
