He urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to wake up and take Nigerians out of hunger, hyper-inflation and poverty.

Ayodele said in a recent interview with Alaroye TV:

“Nigeria does not need prayers anymore. God has already blessed Nigeria. We only did not get it right with leaders.”

He continued:

“Then, we also need to support the president with prayers concerning his health. Don’t let me deceive you, death will take a lot of politicians in 2025.
“Prominent personalities in our society need a lot of prayers.
“Nigeria can win the battle against terrorism, but those behind it are in government.”

Furthermore, Primate Ayodele said Nigeria as a nation does not the newly-created ministry of livestock development, as "it is meaningless”.

He asserted that he is not afraid of anyone and will continue to speak the truth to power.
