Amid the rapid appreciation of the naira, the cleric declared that it would still not trade at N250 to the dollar at the exchange market.
Ayodele said:
“Dollar is not our problem. Dollar will come down, but the only thing is, can this government make dollar N250, N300, N400? No.
“We need to focus on local agriculture that will enable the provision of food. When there is food, forget about the dollar.”
