Primate Ayodele Predicts Soaring Dollar and Fuel Prices Under Tinubu’s Administration

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned that Nigeria could face further economic challenges under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, including a sharp rise in the exchange rate and petrol prices.

In a recent prophetic message shared on Facebook, Ayodele revealed that he foresaw the naira weakening further against the U.S. dollar, possibly hitting ₦900 per dollar.

“Nigeria’s dollar can go to 900 naira,” he declared. “It’s not ideal, but there are certain steps the government may take that could push the dollar that high.”

He also cautioned that petrol prices might climb beyond current levels, warning Nigerians to prepare for the possibility of paying up to ₦550 per litre.

Despite his warnings, the cleric commended President Tinubu for his mental alertness and decision-making ability, contrasting his leadership style with that of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Tinubu is old, but sound mentally. What Tinubu has done, Buhari didn’t do. Nigerians may not like him, but he can surprise them,” Ayodele said.

However, he reiterated that the Muslim-Muslim ticket that brought Tinubu to power was a fundamental political mistake that deepened discontent and division among citizens.

While acknowledging that the nation faces tough economic times, Ayodele insisted that the government still holds the key to preventing these dire outcomes through effective policies and timely reforms.

“There is a step to take that will either prevent or make all of this materialize,” he concluded.
