The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday, called for the sack of the Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, over his failure to deal with the electricity issues facing Nigeria.
He said Adelabu has not in any way helped the situation of the country in his capacity.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele explained that a stable electricity supply will help reduce the impact of economic hardship on the citizens.
“Tinubu should sack the minister of power, Bayo Adelabu if he wants to reform the power sector.
“State of emergency should be declared in that sector because nothing is happening. If there’s power supply, this hardship will be minimal,” he said.
On the issue of state policing, he advised President Tinubu to increase the salaries of soldiers and policemen before embarking on state policing if he wants it to work.
‘’You should also increase the salaries of our soldiers, police officers before we embark on state policing if we want it to work. It’s a good initiative and indeed, what is needed in the country but we need to go through the normal process to avoid failure of a good initiative like this,” he said.
Primate Ayodele urged every state in the country to assist the Federal Government by supporting Agriculture across the country.
He made it known that solving the issue of hunger will help reduce so much burden on the Federal Government.
‘’Every state should look for ways to help the federal government by supporting agriculture nationwide. Let us solve the issue of hunger before dollars kills us. The resources we have in every state should be adequately used for the people,” he added.
