You lots have been asking christian leaders to speak up, and yes, they have been speaking up! Latest of them is a former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor
According to the cleric the government of President Bola Tinubu has done more harm to this nation than this nation has ever experienced.
He advised him not to think of pursuing a second term, stating he doesn’t know what he is doing.
He also took a jab at those who called ex-President Goodluck Jonathan “clueless” saying many of them are in power now, and clearly don’t know what to do.
Oritsejafor made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“Where are those people now? Are they not the same people today who are in power?” Oritsejafor asked.
“People who called him clueless, but they wouldn’t allow him to do the things he needed to do. They protested against him all over the place in Lagos especially, and across the country.
“Now, the people who sponsored all those protests, who did a lot of all those things, many of them are the people in power today. So, now they have the clue, but look at where Nigeria is now,” he said.
Asked whether he regretted supporting Jonathan during the 2015 presidential election, Oritsejafor replied, “No, I don’t.”
The cleric also weighed in on the performance of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, expressing concern over the state of the country and advising the president against seeking a second term in office.
“The government of Tinubu has done more harm to this nation than this nation has ever experienced,” he said.
While declining to directly support calls for Tinubu’s resignation, Oritsejafor urged the president to honestly assess his capacity to address the country’s problems.
“I would not sit here categorically and tell him resign. But I think what I would say to him is, look, don’t pretend to know what to do when you don’t know what to do. Don’t pretend that you can take Nigeria out of where it is now, when you know you can’t,” he stated.
The cleric further criticised the administration’s “Renewed Hope” slogan.
“The average Nigerian today has no hope, except if you say you look up to God to give you hope,” he said.
Oritsejafor concluded by urging Tinubu not to pursue another term, saying, “Don’t begin to dream of coming back to continue this same mess.”
