Amid the deteriorating economic conditions in Nigeria, Pastor Adewale Giwa of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministries has called upon President Bola Tinubu to resign from office if he cannot provide effective solutions to the nation’s mounting challenges.
In a statement made available to the press on Sunday, Pastor Giwa expressed his concerns and pointed out that he had previously warned about the potential consequences of the All Progressives Congress (APC) continuing to hold power in the Presidency, asserting that it would have a detrimental impact on Nigeria’s economy.
Pastor Giwa stated, “I warned that the continuation of APC in the Presidency would cripple Nigeria’s economy. Of course, we know how they got to power, but let me leave that for now.”
He went on to question the President’s actions and decisions, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to address issues related to petroleum and the prevailing economic hardships. He also criticized the abrupt removal of the petroleum subsidy, suggesting that it was done in a hasty and misguided manner.
The pastor expressed concern about Nigeria’s current state, highlighting the skyrocketing prices of essential commodities such as petroleum and food. He lamented the dire economic situation, where a sum of N10,000 is insufficient to provide for a family of three for even a single day.
Pastor Giwa underscored the multifaceted challenges faced by the Nigerian population, including joblessness, rising criminal activities, and extreme economic hardship. He lamented the impact of these difficulties, pointing to a surge in prostitution, armed robbery, and other criminal activities on the streets, all of which he attributed to what he described as poor leadership.
The pastor also criticized the government’s spending habits, raising concerns about the allocation of over N100 million for the purchase of Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles for each senator while the nation faces economic difficulties. Pastor Giwa’s statement called attention to the contradictions between such expenditures and claims of financial constraints in the country.
The pastor’s remarks reflect the growing frustration and dissatisfaction felt by many Nigerians regarding the economic challenges and the government’s response to them.
