The Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has asserted that Nigerians deserve the hardship resulting from the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu.
Naijaonpoint reports that Apostle Suleman made this known in Bauchi State during a two-day conference.
Before the mega crusade, Suleman and his entourage, including senior pastors like Kingsley Aigbe, visited the Government House in Bauchi, where he met Governor Bala Mohammed.
Speaking with journalists during an interview at the Government House, Suleman berated Nigerians, saying the country’s sufferings are the result of the bad choices made during the 2023 elections.
He lamented the state of the nation under Tinubu’s administration, pointing to policies and the devastating mismanagement of the oil sector.
He also urged Nigerians to reflect on their choices ahead of the 2027 elections, warning that, “If they’ve suffered enough by then, perhaps they’ll make better decisions.”
He added, “What Nigerians are going through is partly what they deserve. Before the election, we cried out, we screamed, we yelled.
“The man (President Bola Tinubu) who came into leadership had no manifesto— just a sense of entitlement with his ‘it’s my turn’ mantra.
“The oil sector has been plundered. In the next 10 to 15 years, I don’t think Nigerians will recover from the damage. Now, all we can do is pray.”
Apostle Suleman commended Governor Mohammed for his leadership and hospitality, describing him as a man of honour.
He assured the Governor of his continued prayers for the leadership and people of Bauchi State.
Also speaking, Governor Mohammed warned that the policies being implemented by President Tinubu, if not checked, could destroy the country’s fortunes.
The governor explained that he did not hold a personal grudge against Tinubu because of his constant criticism of the federal government’s policies.
Mohammed maintained that he would not be tired of pointing out the shortcomings of President Tinubu as long as Nigerians continue to be short-changed by his policies and programmes.
He said, “Tinubu’s policies don’t have a clear vision and are taking us to the road to perdition and destruction.
“That is why when I talk about the tax reforms it is not because I don’t want reform but I want reform that will have national impact. I don’t have anything against the president but respect.”
