Primate Ayodele calls Tinubu-era governors lazy, says citizens not feeling impact

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, released a statement today criticizing state governors under President Tinubu's administration as "very lazy," accusing them of spending federation account allocations on non-productive items while citizens don't feel the impact.

"Governors in this Tinubu regime are very lazy. They are making more money, but their people are not feeling the impact," Ayodele said in the statement signed by his communications head, Osho Oluwatosin. He warned governors against spending excessively on political campaigns, urging them to "seek better ways to help citizens" instead.

The critique comes as federation account revenues have reportedly increased, raising questions about the disconnect between higher allocations and visible state-level improvements. Ayodele emphasized that "after politics, the people will remain" and governors should focus on making their states better.

This public rebuke from a prominent religious figure adds to growing scrutiny of state governance and resource management across Nigeria.

As federation allocations rise, what measurable improvements should citizens demand from their state governments?
