Primate Ayodele, a famous Nigerian pastor and self-proclaimed prophet who predicted a first-round victory for President William Ruto in the August elections, has warned the head of state of a looming danger if the Kenya Kwanza administration ends the fuel subsidy.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the prophet noted that the removal of the subsidy would in turn hurt the common mwananchi and poked holes in the Kenya Kwanza manifesto that was essentially built around the hustler narrative.
“Kenya’s president, William Ruto has inherited debt and there is no magic he can do that can cancel the debt immediately. He has to take things easy so he won’t shoot himself and make some pronouncement that will make people go against him.’’
“Kenya’s economy is bad and it will take time to get in shape despite the fact that he has so many plans to bring it back, it won’t be so easy the way he wants it. He needs to take his time and I would advise him to step down the removal of subsidy, it is not yet time to do it.” Read the statement in part.
He also cautioned the head of state against making declarations that could place him on a collision path with the people especially at the early stages of his presidency.
“He needs to do things gradually although he has the people at heart but rushing these things will create problems for him, Ruto should slow down a bit,’’ added the statement.
The prophet made headlines after he predicted that Ruto would win the August 9 General Election in the first round.
