Ayodele Accuses Tinubu’s Advisors of Economic Missteps

Primate Elijah Ayodele has accused Nigerian Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele of providing incorrect economic advice to President Bola Tinubu. According to a statement by Ayodele's head of communications, Osho Oluwatosin, the recent government borrowings are a direct result of this wrong guidance.
Ayodele warned that the government's reliance on borrowing will negatively impact Tinubu's chances in the upcoming election. He argued that Nigerians are increasingly frustrated with the economic situation, which continues to worsen despite the borrowings.
The Primate urged the government to utilize national resources to generate wealth instead of consistently seeking financial assistance. He also criticized the Minister of Finance and the Central Bank Governor for their approach to monetary policy.
