The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has called for President Muhammadu Buhari resignation as Minister of Petroleum, following the prevailing fuel crisis in the country.
Primate Ayodele stated in a statement posted by his media aide on Sunday that President Buhari is unable of handling the portfolio, especially at this critical time.
He noted that the president should honorably resign from the position and hand it over to someone who knows the nooks and crannies of Nigeria’s petroleum system.
“President Buhari should resign as minister of petroleum and hand over to someone who is capable to manage this crisis. This is not a thing to joke with. The economy is biting hard already, we need someone capable to, Buhari isn’t capable to be the minister of petroleum. We need the right person who knows everything about our petroleum system.”
The cleric also spoke about the Nigerian economy. He said the country needs special prayer to overcome the economic challenges.
‘’The economy will not be any better, and some state governors will be in debt. Workers and banks will face some challenges, we still don’t understand what this economy is talking about, and we need serious prayers at this very crucial time.
‘’There will be an increase in standard and cost of living. Nigeria will still borrow, and we must
also be careful of our oil products.
