Prophet Bisi Olujobi, General Overseer of Wisdom Church of Christ International in Lagos, has urged President Bola Tinubu to address the root cause of the Nigerian protests.
Since August 1, thousands of individuals have staged a nationwide demonstration to show their dissatisfaction with the country’s high degree of poverty and deteriorating economic situation.
In a statement issued over the weekend, Olujobi urged Tinubu to “genuinely address the lingering crisis of hardship and hunger bedevilling the country before it’s too late”.
The priest, who organised a demonstration in March 2024 under the auspices of the Federation of League of Concerned Prophets, believes Tinubu can do better since “Nigerians are not asking for too much”.
Prophet Olujobi said:
“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.”
