Shepherd of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to critically look into the hike of food prices in order to avoid a nationwide protest.
In a statement made available to newsmen by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Ayodele hinted Nigerians are suffering which may trigger severe protest, thus, call for swift intervention.
He said: ‘’Nigerians will protest because of the hike in food prices. There will be so much hardship which will cause the government the unexpected. The president must see into food matters otherwise Nigeria will go up in flames as a result of this.
‘’The price of things will keep increasing. Essential commodities like pepper, palm oil, and gas will keep increasing and these are what the average Nigerian uses on a daily basis,” he said.
‘’The government must do something to avert this coming protest, it will involve the youths, old men and women, it will be very serious. The government needs to look into it as soon as possible.’’
