Spiritual leader and founder of the Lagos-based Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele warned Nigerians not to be too optimistic about the nation’s economy in the New Year, saying the economy will not be buoyant.

Primate Ayodele, known for his predictions, had this to say while speaking to the Sunday Tribune. According to him, “The nation’s economy will not be buoyant. Nigeria will face more economic challenges. The Federal Government will increase the Value Added Tax (VAT). Many state governors will find it difficult to pay workers their salaries. There will also be global economic problems. Some banks in the country will be in crisis. Even the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, will be embroiled in various matters.”

Speaking on the political terrain of the nation, the cleric said that the Labor Party will also be involved in several crises, as well as warned the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, to manage the internal crises of his match. “The Labor Party will have its crises. Also, Atiku Abubakar should handle crises within the PDP well. But I also have to say that the G5 integrity group will have no impact in 2023, except they stay where they are. However, they will betray each other. Many large trees will fall in 2023.

“In addition, the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, must know that the people who have surrounded him will betray him. That betrayal will surprise you. The restructuring will not see the light of day. Some political aspirants will die before the elections.”

On the nation’s security challenges, Ayodele stated that “another coup will take place in one of the African countries. In Nigeria, security officers at the war front will protest. There will be mass protest in 2024.
