The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has raised concerns over President Bola Tinubu’s intention to seek re-election in 2027, citing worsening economic conditions, rising insecurity, and other national challenges.
The cleric made the remarks during a Sunday service in Auchi, Edo State, in a sermon titled “Power to Get Wealth,” which later went viral online.
He questioned the rationale behind a second term bid, arguing that the current situation in the country should prompt deeper reflection on governance performance and accountability.
According to him, leadership should be judged strictly on results, insisting that performance remains the strongest form of campaign.
He argued that where an administration has not delivered tangible improvements, it should not be rewarded with another term.
Apostle Suleman cited inflation, exchange rate depreciation, fuel costs, and insecurity as key indicators of national hardship, saying these realities raise legitimate questions about governance outcomes.
He further argued that citizens are not demanding perfection from leaders but expect at least measurable progress in critical areas such as power supply, security, and cost of living.
The cleric maintained that his criticism was not limited to the current administration, noting that he has spoken out against past governments as well, including that of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He added that he remains non-partisan and speaks based on his assessment of national issues, saying he commends government efforts when necessary but also criticizes failures when they occur.
Apostle Suleman also reflected on the experiences of Nigerians in the diaspora, stating that many leave the country not necessarily for wealth, but for safety and improved living conditions.
He concluded with a call for national transformation, expressing hope that Nigeria would eventually attain a level where citizens can live and travel without fear, and where governance delivers real and visible impact.
