The Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman,[/b] has openly criticized the current administration, expressing his belief that President Bola Tinubu entered office with nothing substantial but a sense of entitlement. The outspoken cleric shared these thoughts while speaking at a side event during a two-day “Recovery Conference 2025” held in Bauchi State.
In his speech, Apostle Suleman took a swipe at the leadership of President Tinubu, accusing the administration of making poor policy decisions and mismanaging the country’s crucial oil sector. He pointed out that Tinubu's entry into office lacked a clear manifesto, emphasizing that the President’s main approach was based solely on the belief that it was “his turn.”
The Pastor also took the opportunity to remind Nigerians that they were not exempt from blame for the current state of the nation. He argued that the ongoing economic hardship was, in part, a result of poor decisions made during the 2023 elections, suggesting that what Nigerians were enduring was a consequence of their choices at the polls.
Apostle Suleman passionately remarked, “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 further stated that the oil sector, a vital part of the nation’s economy, had been severely damaged under the current administration. The pastor warned that the country might not recover from this mismanagement in the next 10 to 15 years. 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.”
Reflecting on the situation, Suleman urged Nigerians to carefully consider their choices ahead of the 2027 elections, warning them to learn from the hardships they were currently facing. He suggested that by then, if Nigerians had suffered enough, they might be in a better position to make wiser decisions at the polls. He concluded with a call for introspection, “If they’ve suffered enough by then, perhaps they’ll make better decisions.”
