Nigeria @ 62: ‘’There Is Nothing To Celebrate, Our Leaders Have Failed Us’’

The Leader Of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has expressed grief over the situation of Nigeria since the country gained independence 62 years ago.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele described the 62nd independence anniversary as nothing to write home about in all spheres of life. He explained that there is nothing to celebrate because our leaders since independence have failed the nation and never considered the future of Youths right from inception.

He noted that Nigeria has experienced nothing but stagnancy, pain, hunger and failed promises in the hands of our past leaders and that they keep deceiving the citizens that the country will be better by the day but there has been no improvement ever since rather, the situation of the country has been deteriorating.

‘’62 years of independence is nothing to write home about the economy, leadership and all spheres of life, Nigeria has failed. Our leaders since we got independence didn’t consider the future of the youth, what Nigeria will become, what will happen, they didn’t care about it but now, they are rallying round saying they want to make the country better, are they not deceivers after they disappointed us, their children and God? They will all pay for it.’’

‘’This is 62 years of stagnancy, pain, hunger, and failed promises. Their children are going to school but they have destroyed the future of students in the country yet they are saying they want to repent, they should come out to confess what they have all done. They will all suffer for it because they will see the anger of God. What can we say about our 62 years of independence? Absolutely nothing. They say Nigeria will be better every day, we organize prayers but nothing has improved, it’s been the same story.’’

Primate Ayodele made it known that the next general election coming up in 2023 will determine a lot of things in the country, explaining that most countries are far better than Nigeria including those who got independence after we got it. He also noted that one of the sure ways to have a better country is by having true federalism to enable every zone to stay on its own.
