The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has blamed the current economic hardship on the activities of terrorists and killer herders.
Primate Ayodele said the economy would recover when the government resorts to capital punishment as a punitive measure for anyone arrested.
In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele faulted some highly placed individuals who intervene whenever terrorists are arrested.
According to Ayodele: “Battling our economic angle is not the best thing to do; we have mineral resources in this country, can’t we make use of them? We need a restructuring of our economy whereby every state will manage its resources for the economy to stabilize.
The country can make money from so many resources. We have resources in states like Taraba, Zamfara, Borno, Kogi and others. There is a lot the president can do to stabilize the economy.
Insecurity caused by terrorists and killer herdsmen is one of the reasons for the hardship. Like I said before, capital punishment should be given to any terrorist caught. Our service chiefs are trying but some individuals intervene even when they arrest these terrorists, let them kill any terrorist arrested without detention if we want our economy to be better.
The Nigerian army can fight terrorists, give them all they need and you will see that when we have enough power supply, reduced activities of terrorists, there will be plenty for us to eat.’’
