Pastor Adewale Giwa pleaded with President Tinubu to consider the plight of Nigerians following the fuel subsidy removal, stating that the increased cost of fuel is disproportionately affecting the poor. He emphasized that Tinubu, being a successful businessman before entering politics, should understand the struggles of the average Nigerian.
The Senior Pastor of The Second Coming of Christ's Ministry, Adewale Giwa, on Tuesday urged President Bola Tinubu to have mercy on Nigerians. Giwa said Nigerians expected a better life when Tinubu emerged as President because he was successful before his victory in the 2023 presidential election. He spoke during a live programme on Glow 99.1 FM in Akure, Ondo State. According to Pastor Giwa: 'With the subsidy they removed from oil, I have begged them to remember the poor in the society.
Nigerians now spend between N30,000 to N40,000 to fuel their cars unlike before when the only use around N5,000 to N10,000. 'Let's use this opportunity to beg President Tinubu to remember that Nigerians depend on petroleum to survive. Those working will turn on their generator because NEPA is not supplying adequate electricity. 'Since 1999, Tinubu is the most successful person to be President, Obasanjo was not as satisfied like Tinubu when he became President. Yar'Adua, Jonathan, and Buhari were not as comfortable as Tinubu. 'When Tinubu emerged as President, Nigerians were expecting that somebody who was comfortable before becoming President, who was successful; it shouldn't be him that would now make them to suffer due to subsidy removal. 'I'm using the opportunity to beg Tinubu and politicians to have mercy on Nigerians because I have the believe that this country will still be fruitful.' The cleric also cautioned politicians and philanthropists against waiting till Christmas period before distributing food palliatives to Nigerians. He urged them to cultivate the habit of giving the poor in the society all year round and not wait till December. Pastor Giwa said: 'People should not wait till Christmas season before gifting the poor. Not all people have the gift of giving, but those who have; should not wait till Christmas season before giving.' The clergyman also maintained that those who wait till Christmas period before gifting don't have the spirit of giving
