The clergyman also noted that the fight against corruption in Nigeria isn’t real and effective.

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has warned that Nigerians will cry over the new minimum wage.

He stated this on Tuesday.

To avert this, Primate Ayodele advised the government to expand the country’s means of income by partnering with states that have resources to help the economy.

In a statement by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele said: ‘’There are some states that should be resourceful for Nigeria because if we are not careful, our economy will become worse. Let’s utilize states that have resources to increase our income.

“The minimum wage we are celebrating may still cause us to cry if we are not careful, it will add to the instability in our country except our means of income receives an addition.”

The clergyman also noted that the fight against corruption in Nigeria isn’t real and effective.

Primate Ayodele said several pastors, politicians, businessmen, and individuals will be jailed if Nigeria wants to effectively fight corruption.

He noted that corruption is one of the greatest killers of the Nigerian economy because people in the system are after accumulating wealth in dubious ways.

According to Ayodele, it is the reason the economy of Nigeria will continue to go down the drain.

He said: ‘’To end corruption, so many things will happen, a lot of people including politicians, businessmen, individuals, even pastors will be jailed if indeed Nigeria wants to fight corruption as it ought to be.

“The fight against corruption in Nigeria is sentimental. The country is living beyond Her income and the expectation is too high. Nobody wants to build anymore, people just want to wake up to riches.

‘’Until people stop accumulating wealth, we will continue to have issues in this country, our economy will still not be anything to write home about because of corruption.’’
