In a recent video shared on Facebook, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, spoke about Nigeria’s ongoing fight against insecurity and commended the Chief of Army Staff for showing signs of improvement in his leadership approach.
Ayodele explained that his previous warnings and prophecies about the military were not meant to criticize but to push for better results. According to him, “We have started putting pressure on them, and now the man is listening to advice.”
The cleric noted that the Chief of Army Staff has begun to adopt strategies that reflect responsiveness to both professional recommendations and divine counsel. He stressed that this change in direction is crucial for Nigeria’s success in combating terrorism, banditry, and other forms of violent crime.
Ayodele, who has been vocal about the challenges facing the armed forces, highlighted that leadership in the military requires not just tactical brilliance but also humility to listen and adapt. He pointed out that the recent adjustments by the Army Chief are already yielding visible improvements in the security sector.
He further urged the federal government to maintain its support for the army, warning that neglecting the sacrifices of soldiers could weaken the current momentum. The cleric also called on Nigerians to continue praying for the armed forces, insisting that their efforts remain vital in protecting the nation’s unity and sovereignty.
Analysts suggest that Ayodele’s comments indicate a growing recognition of the Chief of Army Staff’s evolving strategy, especially as the military intensifies its operations in different parts of the country. His statement also reflects the delicate balance between spiritual insight and practical leadership in Nigeria’s fight against insecurity.
By declaring that the Army Chief is “listening to advice,” Ayodele has not only acknowledged progress but also hinted that continued pressure and accountability will be necessary to sustain success in the battle against terrorism.
