Apostle Suleman Says Nigerians Are Facing Hardship They Deserve
Apostle Suleman recently attended the “Recovery Conference 2025” in Bauchi State, where he spent two days addressing various issues affecting the country. Prior to the event, he visited the Government House in Bauchi, where he met with the state’s Executive Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed.
During the visit, Apostle Suleman, accompanied by his team including senior pastors like Dr. Kingsley Aigbe, praised the governor for his leadership and hospitality, referring to him as a man of integrity. He assured the governor of his prayers for the people and leadership of Bauchi State.
However, when questioned by journalists about the current state of the nation, the cleric expressed disappointment with the voting choices of Nigerians. He suggested that the suffering Nigerians are enduring is, to some extent, a result of their own decisions.
“What Nigerians are facing today is partly what they have brought upon themselves,” he said. “Before the election, we raised our voices, we warned, and we pleaded. The current president (Bola Tinubu) came into power with no clear manifesto—only a sense of entitlement and the ‘it’s my turn’ slogan.”
Suleman lamented the condition of the country under Tinubu’s leadership, highlighting the mismanagement of the oil sector as a major factor contributing to the crisis.
“The oil sector has been stripped bare, and it will take Nigeria 10 to 15 years to recover from the damage,” he predicted. “For now, all we can do is pray.”
He also urged Nigerians to carefully reflect on their choices as the 2027 elections approach, suggesting that if the suffering continues, they may make better decisions by then.
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, while speaking on the same platform, warned that President Tinubu’s policies, if unchecked, could lead to the country’s downfall. The governor clarified that his criticism of the policies wasn’t personal but was aimed at ensuring the country’s future stability.
“Tinubu’s policies lack a clear vision and are leading us down a dangerous path,” he explained. “When I talk about tax reforms, it’s not because I oppose reform but because I want reform that benefits the nation as a whole. I have no issue with the president personally, but I must speak out when these policies harm the people.”
Governor Mohammed affirmed that he would continue to highlight the flaws in the current administration’s approach as long as the policies negatively impacted the Nigerian populace.
