The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Tuesday warned President Bola Tinubu to review the proposed creation of more states in Nigeria.

Primate Ayodele warned that creating 30 more states will lead to Nigeria’s break up and cause more problems.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said Nigerians will suffer unnecessarily, adding that if it’s not well planned, the creation of more states would equate creation of more problems.

Ayodele said: “Creation of more states will not prosper the country, the country will suffer and it needs to be planned well if not we will create more problems while creating more states.

“I had said that about four states will come out of Lagos, the state will discover more resources but the state creation isn’t for every state and region, proposing more than 30 states is too much because it will lead to suffering.”

He also noted that more than 30 states addition will break some states totally because they don’t have the capacity.

The popular prophet urged the president to think about it carefully to keep the nation together.

Furthermore, he advised that the state creation shouldn’t be done for political reasons.

“It’s not proper for the nation at this time, it won’t help all of them, and the current proposal will destroy existing states totally because they don’t have the capacity.

“They should think before going ahead with it because some will be thrown off-balance for life.

“Some states like Edo state that is having issues, Delta state, Osun state that are not making significant progress will eventually be destroyed if they are divided.

“The government should think deeply and not work on this for political reasons if not, there will be serious regret,” he added.
