The leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, commissioned a state-of-the-art healthcare centre and gifted cars to his church members on Friday, February 16th, 2024. This was done in celebration of his annual Thanksgiving program, which he named ‘21 Days of Unlimited Praise’.
The event was well attended by prominent members across different sectors including the CEO of SIFAX Group, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi who unveiled the health care centre, the Vice-chairman of Ikorodu Local government, Aarebirin Honourable Princess Folashade Olabanji-Oba, Lagos commissioner of police, Adegoke Fayoade, Oniworo of Iworo, Oba Oladele Kosoko, to mention a few.
Stating the reason behind the health care centre, Primate Ayodele explained that the less privileged have issues accessing health care and even for an average Nigerian, it’s becoming unaffordable. Therefore, in his own little way to bring succor to the people, he thought of building a health care centre within his church where people can have access to 24/7 medical assistance.
To add to his several philanthropic projects, Primate Ayodele revealed plans to begin a free launch programme for the needy later in May and another edition of palliative market in July 2024.
‘’The average Nigerian is battling with so many things and health care is one of them. People have died because of illnesses that were not attended to because they couldn’t access medical assistance. My decision to build a healthcare centre for the people is borne out of the need to address the lack of medical assistance when it is needed. This is my little way of assisting the government and largely, bringing succour to the people to prevent avoidable deaths.’’
While reacting to this laudable project, Dr Taiwo Afolabi appreciated Primate Ayodele for always giving back to society especially the underprivileged. He acknowledged the several works of Primate Ayodele while confessing that he is surprised at the prophet’s philanthropic activities.
He also made it known that he sincerely loves Primate Ayodele for all he does for the less privileged and it’s the reason he attended the event despite his busy schedule.
‘’We are seeing your hand work, I pray God blesses and gives you more anointing. We are also doing something like this and we want to replicate it everywhere. We want you to keep it up because you are helping the needy in the society.’’
Also, Oba Oladele Kosoko commended Primate Ayodele for his massive empowerment programmes while vowing to always answer the man of God whenever he calls upon him for anything. Likewise, Princess Folashade Olabanji-Oba who anchored the presentation of the car gifts and other provisions made to the less privileged attested to Primate Ayodele’s unprecedented kindness to the people.
Continuing, Primate Ayodele gave out accommodation fees, shop rent, household items like mattresses, refrigerators, televisions, JAMB forms, and work equipment, to mention a few.
It would be recalled that On Wednesday, 14th Of February, 2024, Primate Ayodele held the second edition of his palliative market where a bag of rice was sold for N20,000, a bag of beans was sold for N2,000, Tubers of yam were sold for N1,500, a bag of Semovita was sold for N1,500, garri was sold for N3,000, a carton of Indomie sold for N1,500, wheat was sold for N2,000 and gave out five cars to church members and a journalist.
