‘Nigeria Will Rise Again, Just Not Under Tinubu,’ Says Giwa

Under the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigerians have been accused of having hope that the country’s economy will improve.

This was stated by Adewale Giwa, senior pastor of the Second Coming of Christ’s Ministry, during a sermon on Sunday at his Akure church.

Accusing prophets of selling their supernatural gifts to unbelievers in exchange for cash, he accused them for contributing to the nation’s socioeconomic problems.

Giwa pointed out that due to what he called the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) dishonesty, voters erred in removing former President Goodluck Jonathan from power.

Since the APC took office, he claimed, the country’s economy has been in severe crisis.

“I woke up at precisely 1 p.m. this morning to pray for Nigeria,” Giwa stated. I asked God, “Do we still have prophets in Nigeria?” during one of my prayers.

I am a pastor, as you are aware, but I am not a prophet. Whereas a prophet is a seer who expresses God’s will, a pastor is a shepherd who leads and looks after a flock while concentrating on teaching. A prophet can also be thought of as God’s spokesperson.

The Lord’s Spirit informed me that the devil had placed a false Spirit in the mouths of several of our prophets. In other words, they have traded the gift of prophecy for cash from unbelievers, much like Esau traded his birthright for soup from his younger brother Jacob. Thus, according to the Lord, he had left them to mislead Nigeria.

There aren’t many politicians that genuinely care about the people; politics is deep. Dr., we made a mistake by voting out. I wish you luck, Jonathan, since the APC presented itself as an angel without realizing that they were going to bring poverty to Nigeria. Am I suggesting that Jonathan should return? No.

I firmly believe that Nigeria will rise once more in the meantime, but not under the current leadership. Things have gotten worse over time since the APC assumed power in 2015.

Nigerians were reassured by the pioneering cleric that someone would come from among the nation’s minority ethnic groups to save the country’s economy from dire straits.

He claimed the APC had sabotaged the opposition’s chances in the general elections of 2023 by using Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last general elections.

It remains to be seen if Obi would continue to play the same role in the 2027 presidential election, Giwa further warned Nigerians.

“A man named Peter Obi may be familiar to many of you,” he continued. It was in 2023 that I first called him a pretender. Even when a few fleshly-led men of God backed him, I stepped out from the crowd and trusted my gut.

To put it plainly, he is not a serious politician. Currently, the man is cashing out, just like he did during the 2023 presidential election. His supporters find it difficult to accept that God understands him better than he does. On the platter of gold, he wants to get things done.

In 2023, the ruling party divided some votes with him. We’ll have to wait and see whether they utilize him again. Having Tinubu in office for another four years is preferable to Peter Obi as Nigeria’s president. Obi’s administration would be characterized by selfishness, nepotism, and tribalism.

“This time, someone from the minority ethnic group that the Lord intends to use to restructure the nation is coming.”
