Nigerian Pentecostal pastor Apostle Johnson Suleman has blamed Nigerians for making a bad choice by electing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023. He said their decision is responsible for the hardship Nigerians are now going through.
The cleric said he is not surprised that the economic situation in the country has nosedived since Tinubu came to office, saying it’s impossible for the president who has no ‘manifesto’ to turn the country around.
He said Nigerians were warned that Tinubu will not perform, that they made the choice even though “we cried out, we screamed, we yelled” that he had no capacity to take the country out of the woods, adding that Nigerians have another opportunity to end the administration in the next election.
The Man of God, MOG, spoke in Bauchi on Wednesday when he paid a visit to Governor Bala Mohammed, after a programmed organised by his church, Omega Fire Ministry tagged ‘Recovery Conference 2025”.
According to Suleman, he knew that Tinubu had nothing to offer, adding that the nation’s economy has gone from bad to worse since he came to power, citing the nation’s oil sector which he said had taken a hit under the administration.
He said it will take a while for the sector to recover from the damage it has suffered under the watcher eyes of President Tinubu.
Suleiman: “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.”
He added:“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.”
Many Nigerians pastors, including Suleman did not support President Tinubu aspiration to lead the country in 202.
