Amid the escalating economic difficulties in Nigeria, Adewale Giwa, the senior Pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministries, has offered advice to President Bola Tinubu. Giwa suggested that if President Tinubu does not possess effective solutions to address the nation’s numerous challenges, he should consider stepping down from his position.
Giwa conveyed this opinion in a statement that was provided to DAILY POST on Sunday. The pastor asserted that Tinubu’s presidency had exacerbated the existing challenges in Nigeria.
He stated, “I previously cautioned that the continued presence of the APC in the Presidency would have a detrimental impact on Nigeria’s economy. While we are aware of the circumstances under which they came into power, I’ll refrain from delving into that for now.”
Giwa continued, “Could someone please advise President Bola Tinubu to voluntarily step down if he is uncertain about his course of action? He needs to make decisive and prompt decisions to address the issues related to petroleum and the current economic hardship.”
He criticized the hasty removal of subsidies, stating, “Why would you put the cart before the horse by hastily removing the subsidy? This approach is incorrect. It’s disheartening that we are going through this again after the eight years of mismanagement under former President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Giwa further added, “It doesn’t require prophetic insight to recognize that the APC seems to be on a ‘suicide mission’ that could lead to the ultimate downfall of Nigeria. The country is in a state of rapid decline; just look at the exorbitant prices of petroleum and essential food items. With only N10,000, it’s nearly impossible to purchase enough food to feed a family of three for one day.”
He expressed concern for the plight of the elderly and unemployed youth, who are resorting to desperate measures due to the dire economic circumstances. Giwa also questioned the expenditure of over N100 million on the purchase of Toyota Land Cruisers for each senator while the country is claimed to be in financial distress.
