Protest: Prophet Olujobi tells Tinubu to tackle hardship before it’s too late

General Overseer, Wisdom Church of Christ International, Lagos, Prophet Bisi Olujobi has charged President Bola Tinubu to tackle the main reason Nigerians are protesting.

Thousands of citizens have embarked on a nationwide protest since August 1 to express their anger over the high level of poverty amid worsening economic crisis in the country.

In a statement at the weekend, Olujobi advised Tinubu to “genuinely address the lingering crisis of hardship and hunger bedevilling the country before it’s too late”.

The cleric, who led protest in March 2024 under the auspices of Federation of League of Concerned Prophets, opined that Tinubu can do better as “Nigerians are not asking for too much”.

“Our recommendations to the Presidency, received on behalf of the Speaker and members of Lagos House of Assembly, are yet to be fulfilled as simple as they are.

“That is to tell you this government only understands the language of protest and force, which is shameful. If he (Tinubu) can’t perform, let him relinquish power to a more competent person.

“Nigerians are suffering, yet they keep struggling. Let the youth continue demanding for a better Nigeria, and it will pay off one day,” the religious leader added.

On the forthcoming United States election, Olujobi re-emphasized his prophecy that Donald Trump will emerge the next American President.

“But his administration will be tough towards Africa with draconian policies,” he added.
