Primate Elijah Ayodele has denied claims that he tried to extort N150 million from Minister Adelabu. The cleric insisted that the allegations circulating in the media are false and misrepresent his intentions.

Ayodele stated that he has always maintained a good relationship with government officials and that his activities are strictly spiritual and advisory. He called on the public to disregard rumors that seek to tarnish his reputation.

The minister, Adelabu, has not publicly responded to the claims, but sources indicate that the matter is being handled discreetly. Ayodele emphasized that spreading unverified reports can cause unnecessary confusion and harm.

Observers have noted that such allegations, if left unchecked, could affect the trust between religious leaders and government officials. Ayodele urged both the media and the public to verify facts before jumping to conclusions.
