Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has urged Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to bolster support for Globacom, the nation’s sole indigenous telecommunications company. Ayodele emphasized the importance of protecting Globacom from competition by discouraging the establishment of new telecommunications firms in Nigeria, thereby ensuring the company’s growth and dominance in the industry.
At the unveiling of the 30th edition of the prophecy book “Warnings to the Nations” in Lagos on Saturday, July 6, 2024, the prophet delivered a powerful address. The event marked a significant milestone for the annual publication, renowned for its profound insights and predictions. Amid a gathering of eager followers and dignitaries, the prophet emphasized the urgent need for nations to heed the divine warnings and guidance encapsulated in this year’s edition.
Primate Ayodele highlighted Globacom’s potential to aid Nigeria in overcoming its economic challenges, emphasizing the necessity of government support to enhance the company’s capacity. He asserted that with the right backing, Globacom could significantly boost employment opportunities across the nation.
He cautioned that launching another indigenous telecommunications firm could spark unhealthy competition, detrimental to Nigeria’s economy. Instead, he recommended pooling resources to bolster Globacom, suggesting that this collaborative effort would strengthen the nation’s telecom sector more effectively.
‘’Let the government support indigenous telecommunication companies because they will create more employment. We don’t need so much to avoid rivalry. We shouldn’t bring up any other indigenous telecommunication apart from Glo, we should put resources together to support this one we have.’’
‘’Glo has come to stay and has the capacity to create an economic boom for President Tinubu’s administration. Let’s support our own instead of creating unnecessary rivalry that will lead to calamity for the country.’’
