Servant of the Most High God, Founder and Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has urged the Chief of Army Staff, the army and other security agencies to restrategize in order to crush the terrorists.
Ayodele spoke on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at Ejigbo, while speaking on national issues. He said that the days of the terrorists are numbered.
Primate Ayodele reiterated his position that the army should not negotiate with the terrorists and that is part of what is yielding result.
He said the army must restrategize because the more their efforts are yielding result the more the terrorists are getting wild, he said it is only by restrategizing that the war can be won.
Primate Ayodele said the army should beam their searchlight more on states like Adamawa, Kogi, Abuja and others.
He commended the soldiers in the field, the CAS, and other security agencies for what they are doing.
Primate Ayodele called for more airstrikes and the equipment of the army with more sophisticated weapons to fight the battle.
He said there are people who want to use insecurity to thwart Tinubu’s second term bid, and said he must be very careful.
He said, “All the efforts by the Nigerian Military, Chief of Army Staff, NSA, Navy, Air force, are doing will get result, that is why Ayodele said you must not dialogue with any terrorists.
“The days of the terrorists are numbered, that is why the must watch Ondo State, Kogi state, Abuja, Nasarawa, Katsina, Sokoto, Adamawa, Yobe, Taraba , they must watch all these areas, the more they are winning these terrorists, the more the terrorists are getting wild,
“I am telling them that they should restrategize their format in order to crush Boko Haram.
“If the Chief of Army Staff takes the right step I tell you terrorists will be a thing of the past.
“Let me commend the efforts of these soldiers that are in the war front, the work of Chief of Army Staff, and other agencies, that what they are doing, they should intensify more with airstrikes and must ensure because there will be a major airstrike that will affect civilians, let the watch out on all these.
“Then in the IDP camps they must watch out so that any attack will not affect them.
“I am telling you that enemies wanted to use insecurity to damage Tinubu’s second term.
“So Tinubu should give support to all those Service Chiefs, he must support them by giving them what they need. Let them give them sophisticated weapons, there is a saboteur that wants to thwart the efforts of the Chief of Army Staff.
“I can tell you that in Kwara State, they are going to get some of these bandits, let them watch Ogun State, against any explosive, and I tell you that these bandits are also in Imo, Enugu, Abia, and Anambra, they are going to increase, and they must watch the issue of Eastern Security Network (ESN) and Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB),” he said.
He added that the founder of MASSOB must pray so that he would not die.
