Nigerians Deserve The Hardship They Are Going Through – Apostle Suleman

The Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has blasted Nigerians, saying the sufferings in the country are the result of the bad choices made during the 2023 elections.

CityNews Nigeria reports that Apostle Suleman was in Bauchi State for a two-day “Recovery Conference 2025”.

Before the mega crusade, he visited the Government House in Bauchi, where he met with the Executive Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed.

Accompanied by his entourage, including senior pastors like Dr. Kingsley Aigbe, Apostle Suleman commended the Governor for his leadership and hospitality, describing him as a man of honour.

He assured the Governor of his continued prayers for the leadership and people of Bauchi State.

However, when asked by journalists during an interview session at the Government House to express his view on the situation in the country, Suleman berated Nigerians for their voting choices.

“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 declared.

He lamented the state of the nation under Tinubu’s administration, pointing to policies and the devastating mismanagement of the oil sector.

“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,” he stated.

He also called for Nigerians to reflect on their choices ahead of the 2027 elections, warning, “If they’ve suffered enough by then, perhaps they’ll make better decisions.”

Also speaking, Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, warned that the policies being implemented by President Bola Tinubu, if not checked, were capable of destroying the fortunes of the country.

The governor explained that he did not have any personal grudge against President Tinubu in view of his constant criticisms of the policies of the Federal Government.

“Tinubu’s policies don’t have a clear vision and are taking us to the road to perdition and destruction.

“That is why when I talk about the tax reforms it is not because I don’t want reform but I want reform that will have national impact. I don’t have anything against the president but respect,” he said.

Mohammed maintained that he would not be tired of pointing out the shortcomings of President Tinubu as long as Nigerians continue to be short-changed by his policies and programmes.
