In a recent video from 4:00 shared on Facebook on Friday, March 13, 2026, Primate Elijah Ayodele spoke about the ongoing tensions surrounding Iran and the fears of nuclear escalation, urging nations to strengthen their own security systems.
In the video, Ayodele stated, “Iran: They won’t use nuclear weapons to harm others; everyone should build their own defense.” He explained that while global concerns about nuclear weapons continue to grow, countries should not rely solely on assumptions about other nations’ intentions.
According to Ayodele, the increasing tensions between Iran and major global powers have created widespread anxiety across many regions. He noted that in such situations, nations must prioritize strengthening their security infrastructure and developing reliable defense strategies.
Ayodele further emphasized that global security cannot depend on the decisions of a single country. Instead, he advised governments to invest in defensive capabilities that can protect their territories and citizens from potential threats.
The cleric added that international conflicts often trigger rapid changes in military and diplomatic strategies. As a result, countries must remain vigilant and proactive in ensuring their safety.
Ayodele concluded by urging global leaders to pursue diplomatic solutions while also strengthening their defense systems. He stressed that maintaining peace requires both responsible leadership and adequate preparation for emerging security challenges.
