Finance Minister Advising Tinubu Wrongly: Primate Ayodele Alleges
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has claimed that the advice being given to President Bola Tinubu by the Nigerian Finance Minister, Taiwo Oyedele, is incorrect.
In a statement released by the prophet's communications head, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele expressed concerns over the recent borrowings by the Tinubu government and their potential negative impact on Nigeria's economy.
Ayodele warned that the more President Tinubu borrows money, the more he risks losing the upcoming election. He emphasized that Nigeria's abundant mineral resources should be utilized to generate wealth instead of continuously seeking financial assistance from external institutions.
"Tinubu should find a way to settle Nigeria's debts rather than borrowing more and focus on economic buoyancy," Ayodele said.
The religious leader further accused the Minister of Finance of providing unsuitable advice that will not contribute to the growth of the nation. He warned that if the current economic policies are not reevaluated, the Nigerian economy will face a potential crisis.
In the statement, Ayodele called on the government to employ the nation's resources to create wealth instead of continually seeking financial aid from external sources.
"The Minister of Finance is advising Tinubu wrongly. The policies he is suggesting will not help Nigeria's economy," the statement quoted Ayodele as saying.
The claims made by Primate Ayodele come as President Tinubu's administration continues to seek external loans to fund its projects.
Ayodele's statement also urged the government to utilize Nigeria's abundant natural resources to generate wealth instead of constantly seeking financial aid from external entities.
"President Tinubu should find a way to settle Nigeria's debts rather than borrowing more and concentrate on economic stability," the statement quoted Ayodele.
The religious leader warned that if the current economic policies are not reassessed, the Nigerian economy will be facing a potential crisis.
Ayodele's statement also urged the government to employ Nigeria's abundant natural resources to create wealth rather than continuously requesting financial assistance from external entities.
"The Minister of Finance is advising Tinubu wrongly. The policies he is recommending will not help Nigeria's economy," the statement quoted Ayodele as saying.
