Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a warning about the potential emergence of new terrorist groups that could pose a significant threat to Africa.
He expressed concern that this coalition of terrorists could destabilize ECOWAS countries.
In a statement released by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho, Ayodele called upon the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to establish a unified force to combat the looming terrorist threat.

He claimed that ECOWAS, through its policies, contributes to the stagnation of the African continent and hampers its growth.
The prophet emphasized that African nations should work towards adopting a unified currency or strengthening their individual currencies instead of relying on foreign currencies like the dollar and pound.
He argued that continued reliance on foreign currencies would hinder Africa’s development and perpetuate economic dependence.
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele suggested that African countries should eliminate visa requirements among themselves to boost the continent’s economy.
He acknowledged the presence of capable African leaders but criticized their corruption, lust for power, and mismanagement of authority, which, in his view, hinder Africa’s progress.
Regarding ECOWAS, Ayodele warned that its leaders may seek support from the United States, cautioning that such support could lead to unfavorable agreements and further economic subjugation.
