“Rice palliative fuels corruption,” says Primate Ayodele

He noted that the country will face severe economic challenges this year if the government fails to take necessary actions.

The cleric predicted a grim economic outlook for Nigeria, with skyrocketing prices of essential commodities.

As reported by The Nigerian Tribune, Primate Ayodele criticised President Tinubu’s rice palliative initiative and stated that it only encourages corruption and does not alleviate poverty or hardship.

Primate Ayodele emphasized that hardship is not a natural phenomenon but rather a result of poor governance.

He, however, called on the government to open the country’s borders and enhance agricultural production to mitigate the impending economic crisis.

“The rice palliative is only encouraging corruption, it is not alleviating any hardship rather it’s adding to it. Hardship isn’t from heaven but the handiwork of men who are in charge of power. I don’t see this hunger going anytime soon because there will be hardship in every sector.

“Just like I have said before, if the government isn’t careful, people will start stoning them, let them create committees to fight against these hardships on all fronts because it will be something else,” he said.
