“Politicians and critical stakeholders should make their campaigns issues based while INEC should be unbiased umpire and conduct a free and fair election.”
On insecurity, the centenarian said that “one thing we cannot but talk about, is the increasing insecurity in the land. On a daily basis, people are being killed and kidnapped with ransom being demanded.
“Nigerians in diaspora now find it difficult to come home and invest as a result of insecurity. This ugly trend should be addressed and culprits should face the law to serve as deterrent to others.”
Prophet Abidoye also decried the rising cost of living in the country, adding that many a Nigerian find it very difficult to eke a living.
