Expect revolution if you don’t unite Nigeria – Primate Ayodele warns Tinubu

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Sunday warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently find ways to unite Nigeria across tribal lines to avoid a revolution in the country.

Primate Ayodele lamented that disunity has deeply affected the country, with almost every sector lacking unity.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Primate Ayodele said the government has a responsibility to ensure the country stays together by addressing the causes of disunity politically, religiously, and tribally, as Nigeria’s peace is threatened by widespread division in every sector.

He explained that the only thing bringing Nigerians together is football, but the Super Eagles have not been performing excellently, further contributing to disunity across the country.

According to Ayodele: “Something needs to be done about Nigeria. Many may not tell the president this, but Nigeria isn’t united in terms of geopolitical zones, religion, tribalism, and politics. We are very disturbed in this country. Tribes dislike one another, and this threatens the unity of the nation.

“Nigeria needs to be very prayerful. The government needs to pay attention to the causes of these issues. An ethnic crisis is imminent if the government doesn’t take it seriously.

“Religion cannot even bring us together because issues still arise from there. I think the only thing that unites us is football, but even our Super Eagles are not doing well.”;

The prophet stated that the government must restructure the system and conduct a form of referendum to reset the country.

He added that even if the Igbos attain power, there will still be disunity if the fundamental issues are not addressed.

“The government will need to restructure the system. They will need to conduct a form of referendum to reset everything. Even if the Igbos get to power tomorrow, there will still be issues. Our unity is seriously threatened.

“We need to truly unite, and this issue is present everywhere—even among those working for the president, in the civil service, just everywhere,” he said.

He blamed disunity for the numerous deaths recorded in the country, stating that it is a disease that seems incurable.

He urged the government to address the issue spiritually to avoid a revolution.

“This is why people are being killed daily, why votes will always be one-sided, why some people who rise to a certain level in life find it difficult to agree on one thing—it’s a disease that seems incurable.

“We need to address this spiritually because it could lead to a revolution. It’s affecting our economy, the country spiritually, and morally. There is no love in this country; even those working with Tinubu don’t love him,” he added.
