The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye says Nigeria’s challenges are not only political but spiritual.
Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, disclosed this via a tweet on his X [formerly Twitter] handle @ubasanius.
However, Nigerians on the Internet mostly disagreed with the cleric’s position.
Governor Sani had tweeted, “I had the rare honour and privilege today of receiving in audience our iconic Evangelist, Pastor Enoch Adeboye at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.”
Pastor Adeboye, who was in Kaduna for the RCCG’s crusade themed ‘Light Up Kaduna,’ prayed fervently for success, peace and stability in Kaduna State.
He took a critical look at Nigeria’s challenges, submitting that they were not only political, but spiritual, as well.
Stressing the need to pray, the cleric said, “When problems seem overwhelming, we must call on Almighty God for help. It is for this reason that the RCCG has embarked on nationwide crusade to seek God’s intervention.
“With God’s intervention, our problems would soon be over.”
In his remarks, Governor Sani thanked Pastor Adeboye and his team for the visit and prayers for his administration and the state.
“I urged him not to relent in intervening in national affairs. I assured him that our dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is taking decisive steps to tackle our economic and developmental challenges.
“Although the current reforms are painful, they are temporary. In no time the benefits would start manifesting. The President therefore needs the support and cooperation of all and sundry to succeed in this arduous task,” Sani assured.

The countries working are they more religious than Nigerians? Leave Nigeria alone.

L🤣L! Nigeria’s predicament not solely Political!
Nigeria’s problems are man-made, not God’s, but the political elite uses religious figures to distract our attention from the root causes.
Nigerian leaders and their religious allies have been turning God into a liar for over…

It is political : Under-governance and Over-governance
Under-governance is when govt abdicates its state responsibilities and allow non-state actors to assume them and benefits from them.
Over-governance, govt dutifully assumes state responsibilities but only few benefits from it— ADEDAMOLA AWONIYI (@audgen) February 12, 2024
Yes I agree with him. 40% of Nigeria’s problem is religion and tribalism. If not, Tinubu won’t have become the president.

Instead of him to be telling his members to come out and protest the economic hardship is asking them to pray Nigeria pastors
