Speaking during a recent address, the cleric specifically referenced former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former military ruler Ibrahim Babangida, and former Defence Minister Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma. He encouraged them to draw on their experience, influence, and leadership backgrounds to support efforts aimed at strengthening the nation.
According to Ayodele, Nigeria continues to face numerous political, economic, and security concerns that require the wisdom and intervention of respected national figures. He stressed that individuals who have played significant roles in the country's history should not remain passive while critical issues continue to affect national development and stability.
Addressing the elder statesmen, he said, "Make sure you settle these government challenges before you die; The country needs your contributions, guidance, and efforts to address the problems confronting it."
Ayodele maintained that the former leaders still have valuable roles to play in shaping the country's future. He noted that their guidance could help promote unity, encourage constructive dialogue, and support efforts to address pressing national concerns.
The cleric also appealed to them to place the interests of the nation above personal considerations. He emphasized the need for collective action aimed at building a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria for future generations.
His remarks have added to ongoing conversations about the role of elder statesmen in national affairs, particularly at a time when many citizens are calling for greater involvement from experienced leaders in addressing the country's challenges and fostering long-term stability.
