The Liberian government has officially lodged a complaint with Nigeria, taking issue with contentious predictions made by Nigerian cleric Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele. The pastor has frequently cautioned of an imminent economic and governance crisis looming over President Joseph Boakai’s administration.

In its formal grievance, the Liberian government deemed Ayodele’s statements as an inappropriate interference in the country’s sovereign matters. They have urged Nigerian officials to reconsider the situation and enact suitable measures. The government further highlighted that the cleric’s dire assertions risk jeopardizing the diplomatic ties between Liberia and Nigeria.
