According to Apostle Suleman, Nigerians Deserve What we are Going Through.

Apostle Johnson Suleman, the Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, has criticized Nigerians, attributing the nation's hardships to poor decisions made during the 2023 elections. According to Trustbase News, the cleric made these remarks in Bauchi State during a two-day event titled “Recovery Conference 2025.” During his visit to the Government House in Bauchi, Apostle Suleman met with the Executive Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, accompanied by a group of senior pastors, including Dr. Kingsley Aigbe. He praised the Governor for his leadership qualities and hospitality, referring to him as a man of integrity. Apostle Suleman assured the Governor of his ongoing prayers for the leadership and citizens of Bauchi State. However, in an interview with journalists at the Government House, he expressed his discontent with the voting decisions of Nigerians. “What Nigerians are experiencing is, in part, a consequence of their own choices. Prior to the election, we raised our voices in warning,” he stated. He criticized President Bola Tinubu, asserting that his leadership lacked a clear manifesto and was characterized by a sense of entitlement encapsulated in the phrase, “it’s my turn.” He expressed concern over the current state of the nation under Tinubu’s administration, highlighting issues related to policy decisions and the severe mismanagement of the oil sector. “The oil sector has been exploited. I fear that in the next 10 to 15 years, Nigerians may not recover from the repercussions. For now, our only recourse is prayer,” he remarked. He urged Nigerians to reconsider their choices as they approach the 2027 elections, cautioning, “If they have endured enough by that time, they may make wiser decisions.” Additionally, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State cautioned that the policies being enacted by President Bola Tinubu, if left unaddressed, could jeopardize the nation's future. The Governor clarified that his criticisms of the Federal Government's policies were not driven by personal animosity towards President Tinubu. Tinubu's policies lack a coherent vision and are leading us towards ruin and devastation. "This is why I discuss tax reforms—not out of opposition to reform itself, but because I seek reforms that will have a significant national impact. I hold no personal grievances against the president, only respect," he stated. Mohammed emphasized that he would persist in highlighting the deficiencies of President Tinubu as long as Nigerians continue to be disadvantaged by his policies and initiatives.
