The Leader Of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to dialogue with Biafra nation, Eastern security network, and Yoruba nation agitators for the sake of peace during the 2023 election.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said the agitators are planning to cause a crisis during the election, and now is the best time to avoid the crisis that is being planned to mar the 2023 general elections.
He urged the government not to underrate the agitators to avoid making errors that will disrupt the peace of the nation.
He asked that the government call them for dialogue and settle things amicably.
‘’The government must work on the security of the nation because agitators are planning something. The likes of IPOB, ESN, Oduduwa nation agitators should be called for dialogue. They should not underrate them to avoid errors. They should call them, talk to them in order to ensure peace.’’
In the same vein, Primate Ayodele warned Buhari to exercise caution on the issue of Nnamdi Kanu.
He said the more Kanu stays in prison without judgment, the more volatile the southeast zone becomes.
The cleric added that politicians behind the continued detention of the separatist should withdraw in order to allow justice to prevail.
“The more Nnamdi Kanu stays in prison, the more volatile the southeast zone becomes. If they want peace in the zone, politicians behind his travails should withdraw. The government should stop locking him behind bars. If he is guilty, let him be sentenced, if he is not, let him be set free, that’s the criteria for peace.”
