Petrol going back to N1,200 – Primate Ayodele warns
The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Friday, warned President Bola Tinubu to address the issue of hardship in Nigeria because gloomy days are fast approaching.
Primate Ayodele said petrol, which has now dropped to N945 per litre, will return to N1,200 per litre if President Tinubu fails to address the issue of hardship as soon as possible.
The prophet mentioned some commodities that would become unaffordable for the common man while urging the president to create a lasting solution.
A statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, said among the solutions he suggested are the opening of borders and the enhancement of agriculture in the country.
He said: “Nigerians shouldn’t be deceived; we will still face economic hardship this year because the government is yet to do what they are supposed to do. For instance, our borders are not officially open and due to this, things are getting tougher. Let’s not deceive ourselves.
“Petrol will still come down, but not now. Let’s prepare to buy petrol for N1,200 soon. Local rice will be sold for N100,000, while imported rice will go for N140,000. Other food commodities like yam, beans, and vegetable oil will continue to rise. Even spiritual items like anointing oil will become unaffordable for Christians.”
Furthermore, he chastised President Tinubu for the rice palliatives shared through politicians, explaining that it won’t alleviate poverty or hardship.
“The rice palliative is only encouraging corruption; it is not alleviating any hardship; rather, it’s adding to it. Hardship isn’t from heaven but the handiwork of men who are in charge of power. I don’t see this hunger going away anytime soon because there will be hardship in every sector.
“Just like I have said before, if the government isn’t careful, people will start stoning them. Let them create committees to fight against these hardships on all fronts because it will be something else,” he added.

My son qualified to be Edo commissioner — Oshiomhole
The lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, says his son, Cyril, is qualified to be the Commissioner for Health in Edo State.
Oshiomhole stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
DAILY POST recalls that in November, Governor Monday Okphebolo of Edo State appointed Cyril as health commissioner just after the new governor was sworn in.
The appointment has been greeted with criticisms from persons who described the act as a state capture and a reward for the senator’s support for the governor’s election.
Oshiomhole, when asked if he endorsed the appointment of his son as commissioner, said he expressed his concerns to the governor when the appointment was announced.
“He doesn’t work under me; maybe Governor Monday is grooming him. When I was in Edo, I stopped him when he wanted to go for the House of Reps.
“I said no and supported another guy. The second time he wanted to try, I said no. This time the governor decided to pick him. He is qualified.
“I did express my concerns when I heard. I called him and expressed my concerns. I expressed those concerns to the governor that people might say this and that.
“Those were the reasons why I stopped him from contesting elections when I was in office but then I have to accept that in the world that we live in, you can only do so much to control your son but not when he is already of adult age.
“But the point must be made: I invested in my children’s education. I didn’t want them to go through what I went through.
“So, Dr Cyril is not just a medical doctor from ABU (Ahmadu Bello University), he went to do post-graduate in two universities in the US, including Harvard and another university in Louisiana. He does something about public health.
“So, he is not having it because he is Oshiomhole; I will say he is having it in spite of being Oshiomhole,” he said.
