Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a warning on Friday regarding the emergence of new terrorist factions. He emphasized that this coalition of terrorists would have a significant impact on the African continent.
Primate Ayodele expressed concern that this coalition of terrorists could pose a serious threat to the countries within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
In a statement conveyed by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele called upon ECOWAS to establish a united force to counteract these potential threats from the terrorist groups.
Ayodele also made allegations against ECOWAS, asserting that the organization is contributing to the backwardness of the African continent due to detrimental policies that are pushing the continent toward a state of subjugation.
The religious leader pointed out that ECOWAS should have focused on implementing a common currency or strengthening the currencies of African nations, rather than relying on foreign currencies like the dollar and the pound.
He expressed the opinion that if Africa continues to let foreign currencies dictate its economic stability, the continent will not progress and will remain in a state of perpetual servitude.
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele advised African countries to eliminate visa requirements among themselves to stimulate economic growth across the continent.
He acknowledged that Africa possesses capable leaders but lamented their corruption and obsession with power, which hampers progress on the continent.
Primate Ayodele criticized the African Union (AU) and ECOWAS for their policies, which he believes are hindering the continent’s development. He argued that strengthening African currencies, rather than relying on foreign ones, should be the focus.
He urged African leaders to collaborate effectively to bring about tangible progress and called for the elimination of visa requirements between African nations to bolster the continent’s economy.
Primate Ayodele also issued a warning about ECOWAS leaders seeking support from the USA, cautioning that this support could lead to unfavorable agreements that would be detrimental to the continent. He emphasized the need for unified security efforts in the face of a potential coalition of terrorists in the region
