The spiritual head of the Inri evangelical church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has insinuated that the price of premium motor spirit (PMS) otherwise known as petrol, cannot drop to either N500 or N600 per litre. In a video on Tuesday, August 13, shared on his known X (formerly Twitter) handle, Ayodele said the petrol price “will still be frustrating” under President Bola Tinubu......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
He said:
“I see that some banks are still going to have crisis. But I am not seeing the price of food items coming down totally, I am not seeing dollar to N600, or N500, and the price of petroleum will still be frustrating. And that is why a lot of refineries are coming. So, a lot is going to happen in Tinubu’s government.”

Legit recalls that President Tinubu’s maiden statement on subsidy removal saw the pump price of a litre of petrol rise astronomically from N184, the price before the inaugural speech in May 2023.
Reacting to the petrol price hike, Joe Ajaero, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), said Nigerians are being deceived on the issue of petrol pricing.
He accused the Tinubu administration of toying with Nigerians and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
At the start of the current week, petrol prices shot up to an all-time high of N990/litre in Abuja and as high as N1,200/litre in far-flung cities up north.
2027: Ayodele warns Tinubu
Earlier, Legit reported that as Nigerians look forward to the 2027 general election, Primate Ayodele said northerners will frustrate President Tinubu.
The predicted “gang up” by the north — according to Primate Ayodele — will make it difficult for President Tinubu to win a second term in office.
