His caution is coming as Nigerians prepare to hit the streets in protest of the hardship and sufferings in the country.
On Wednesday, July 31, Adewale Giwa, the senior pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry, cautioned President Bola Tinubu against pushing Nigerians to the wall.
Pastor Giwa said Tinubu is running out of time, hence he should do the right thing.
His caution is coming as Nigerians prepare to hit the streets in protest of the hardship and sufferings in the country.
To assuage organizers of the protest, Tinubu had urged them to be patient with him.
The Nigerian government has also disclosed plans to sell rice at the rate of N40,000 per bag.
However, Giwa wondered where a hungry man would get N40,000 to buy a bag of rice.
Speaking with Daily Post, the clergyman said: “Having advised President Bola Tinubu to reopen all land borders in Nigeria, let me use this medium to beg the president not to push Nigerians to the wall.
“A hungry man is not afraid of death; the president should urgently do what is right to make Nigerians happy.
“Distributing 10 trucks of rice to each state won’t help the current situation. Where do you expect the hungry Nigerians to see N40,000 to buy a bag of rice? Please, stop this nonsense and do what is right.
“I hope Mr. President would listen to my earlier advice if truly he wants the best for Nigeria. Again, begging Nigerians to be patient with you is like someone telling you to resign from the presidency, which is not possible to forgo.
“You were not patient with Nigerians when you discontinued fuel subsidy payments. Therefore, Mr. President, you are running out of time.
“Anybody who truly loves the president would advise him to crash the prices of foodstuffs and petroleum in no time. My prayers are with Nigeria, but our political leaders must lead by example.”
