Officiating Ministers of God at the final burial service of the late former Governor of Ondo state, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu temporarily put aside the main programme to delve into the current hardship confronting Nigerians.

Anglican Bishop of Ikwerre, in Rivers state, Most Rev’d Dr Blessing Enyindah  told President Bola Tinubu to act fast and address the increasing hardship facing Nigerians as time is no longer on his side.

Enyindah, who preached the sermon  at the Funeral Service for the late  Governor of Ondo State, at St Andrews Cathedral Church Imola, Owo, Ondo state declared that “May I, on behalf of Nigerians, pray and call on the President, Senator Bola Tinubu to do something to reduce the hardship being faced by Nigerians.

“We have the hope he would do it because he promised us renewed hope and according to him, it is his turn, so the turn and opportunity have been given to him now. We are waiting and expecting the fulfilment of the renewed hope.

“We plead with him to do it fast because time, that is four or eight years as the case may be, is brief and the time is running.”
