Amid the rapid appreciation of the naira, the cleric declared that it would still not trade at N250 to the dollar at the exchange market.
Ayodele said:
“Dollar is not our problem. Dollar will come down, but the only thing is, can this government make dollar N250, N300, N400? No.
“We need to focus on local agriculture that will enable the provision of food. When there is food, forget about the dollar.”

Naira as world’s best-performing currency excites Omokri
Earlier, Torizone reported that social media personality, Reno Omokri, expressed his delight after an investment banking company, Goldman Sachs, declared the naira as the world’s best-performing currency in April.
Omokri criticised those he insinuated wished the naira to perform disastrously.
He urged Nigerians to ‘grow the naira’ by patronising homemade products.
