The leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu about his administration’s frequent borrowing to fund projects in the country.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele stated that frequent borrowing indicates the country has not effectively utilized its resources to improve the nation.

He said that continuous loans will cause the country’s economy to decline if proper attention isn’t given.

The prophet said the country has resources in many states like Taraba, Zamfara, Kogi and others, and he mentioned that these resources can help the country become self-sufficient.

“Stop borrowing money, we have resources in states like Taraba, Zamfara. Nigeria will go on sale with the way Tinubu is going about borrowing money. The country will sink if we are not careful.”

Primate Ayodele made it known that Nigeria is in debt that can never be fully repaid, despite the fact that there are resources to save the economy instead of debt.

He cautioned the president not to allow it to get to a stage where no country wants to borrow Nigeria’s money anymore.

“We are on a debt that can never be fully repaid, but we can use what we have to save the economy instead of these debts.

“The country is rich already; let us not get to a level where nobody would want to borrow from us money again.”

He further warned that borrowing will kill the Nigerian economy.

“Borrowing will kill the Nigerian economy; use resources in some of our states to make the country better,” he added.

Everyone is now owing above 700k. If he gets re elected, we might be owing more than a million before he steps down while minimum wage would still not increase to 150k. Emilokan

The so called 1st class accountant doesn't believe in statistics but believes in borrowing.
Borrowing for consumption and squandering of scarce resources.

Political prophet has spoken.

USA shouldn’t be existing again with this logic. This con man is just too shallow lol

I wonder why the media is giving him so much attention.

Thanks for your advice. Thief-nubu subsidy have been removed, stop borrowing for christ sake

Oga primate, carry your prediction abi na prophecy go one side, you are not different from Tinubu.

We need help , You removed subsidy, seized electricity and increased taxes , borrowing money here and there and put the citizens in darkness and still enjoy taxes of generator and solar panels

We don’t need gangsters in power

Germany, Japan and south Korea used borrowed money to revived economy and industry after the 2 second world war.

Since we have been borrowing what have we done with those money?

People borrow money for business not to build roads.

Nigeria banks can fund road projects with long term tows like in other west Africa countries, Fund housing and some industries.

I don't see why government should be borrowing to build roads.

The economy and inflation rate should be the focal point. But they want to steal that’s the main issue.

The primate is not updated about the reforms and results of our brilliant city boy, who has stopped borrowing just over two years after hitting the ground running.

Is God not wonderful

Why should government ask banks to fund road projects when Tinubu saved billions of dollars in subsidy removal and is using the money to build 40 roads?

What is the logic behind this statement

They are borrowing to take home in case they lose election. All of them do it including governors. The borrowing will incapacitate the next person that will take over and make it look like he is not working and that the predecessor did better

How do we explain the irony of Tinubu borrowing more than Buhari and PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol and better life?

Is city boy just stealing all our money to bribe politicians for his reelection and 3rd term agenda to be life president dictator

"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.

I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.

Nawa for you guys..ooo!
Can you compare US economy with our own?
Beside,we can see what US is borrowing the money for.
In our own case, what have we been borrowing this money for?
Do we have light in this country?
The answer is no, because even the president that is borrowing all this money doesn't have light in his house in Aso Rock.
Do we have water? No!
Do we have rail transport system?No!
Do we have roads?No!
Functional healthcare nkor?No!
Security?
No!
So what are we borrowing the money for?

Tell him..oo,if only he will listen to you.

Nigeria today has sunk under Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s calamitous leadership

This nuisance fake prophet again

In many years to come, it will be proven through scientific studies why Tinubu is the worst thing to happen to the entity called Nigeria

From entrenching god father politics
To scheming a performing govt out of power
For being the main sponsor of tribal politics in the history of Nigeria’s democracy
For ushering the demonic Buhari regime only to clear a path for himself
For wrecking whatever was left of Nigeria’s economy and security
For indebting Nigeria for the next 10 generations at a time he had barely a decade to live

If God had Nigeria in plan, Tinubu should never have surfaced on the scene

It doesn't need any proof. It's visible to the deaf and audible to the blind that Tinubu is a collosal failure.

South Africa is owing 5 times more than Nigeria and they are still borrowing.
Are they going to sink too?
So if Nigeria borrows to do infrastructures,it will sink but if it borrows to embezzle like previous govts such as Obasanjo that swallowed our $16 billion,Nigeria will not sink,it will stand gidigba,abi?
Yabaleft..

Dear primate, has d country not sunk completely b4?

If he was borrowing for consumption sef, e for better. The man is borrowing for his personal aggrandizement.

He has dared Nigerians. He said he is a stubborn politician Nigerians are not as stubborn as him.

Nigerians, the ball is in your court to prove una stubborn pass this misfit we call a president who cares about himself and family only.

You are not being sincere!

We are a very POOR CORRUPT nation.
Nigerians will be expecting eldorado with 40billion dollars National budget that is not up to 50% of New York state allocation to just health alone.The state of NewYork budget for education in 2025 was 100billion dollars.The total National budget of Nigerian in 2025 was just around 40billion dollars for 250 million people and 36states.

Nigeria infrastructural deficit is estimated to be 3trillion dollars.We require 100billion dollars annual funding.Nigeria wants a president to transform a country within 4years with annual budget of 40 billion dollars and budget deficit of 10billion dollars without borrowing and increase tax coverage.When opposition politicians are sugarcoating Nigerians,I will just laugh.I dont blame them,Tinubu and APC did the same thing to GEJ and PDP,now they are also facing the reality.

I now understand why some president will just get there,defend naira,pay alot of fuel subsidy just to make Nigerias happy with them for that 8years while Nigeria is dying inside and move on.Trying to fix Nigeria needs
