A Dedicated fighter for Government Accountability & Justice and Human Rights Journalist, Jumu’ah Abiodun, has told the Nigerian Government headed by President Muhammadu Buhari to restructure the country for peace to reign.

The activist in a statement made available to journalists noted that the only way for peaceful coexistence in Nigeria is for the government to take it as a matter of urgency to revisit the 2014 Nigerian National CONFAB report and restructure the country.

Jumu’ah stated further that the ongoing protest is far beyond on police brutality occasioned by the #EndSARS protesters but for the resistance of oppression and corruption by the Nigerian ruling class who sees nothing wrong in stealing public funds.

“The youths are frustrated, the government must be careful with this protest not to end in “#RevolutionNow”. This is beyond #EndSARS, some of the youths are now clamouring for an end to corruption.”

“The protest continue, the youths are getting stronger everyday, N30m has been raised within few days by supporters, driving ambulance buses, doctors & nurses and lawyers on standby to treat injured and releasing arrested protesters”

“The protesters are now walking miles with placards, deploying websites and bots, as well as #EndSARS Wikipedia”

“I don’t know why our leaders are not ashamed of themselves? Minimum wage is N30, 000 and a bag of rice is over N30,000, petroleum price now at N162 per litre, food price skyrocketed by 70 per cent. Nothing good is working for the citizens as corruption take center stage, ASUU still on since over eight months”

“Seriously, this present leaders has failed Nigeria, barracks looks like dumpsites, Police buys uniforms, buttons, no leave, no insurance and political office holders go home with millions of naira every month and you don’t want them to receive bribe? you are a joker.”

“While we talking about corruption in Nigeria, President Buhari then nominated his aide who is a card-carrying member of a political party to be Commissioner in the nation’s election umpire.”

Recall, Jumu’ah in his Nigeria at 60 message to Nigerians home and in Diaspora advised the Buhari administration to repeal Petroleum Equalisation Fund (PEF) and Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to curb corruption. “If we really want to be one, my advice will be good for the peace of the country, there’s an urgent need for any government who want peace and want to end corruption to stop ‘PEF’ with immediate effect because those in the West don’t buy ‘Yam, Onions and Pepper’ same price as they sell in the North, so why paying for PEF. PEF is just a fraudulent policy with which public office holders are using to siphon public funds,” Jumu’ah noted.

He explained further that: “Another loophole left open for the stealing of funds is the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). In the first place, for whatever reason NDDC might have been created, it’s clearly unnecessary. Construction or rehabilitation of Roads in the region, ministry of Works should do that. Cleaning of the Ogoni oil spill, the ministry of Environment fits in.”

The activist faulted IGP Mohammadu Adamu for pronouncing Special Weapons and Tactical Team (SWAT) so quick, “pronouncing SWAT to replace the dreaded SARS within four days of the dissolution of SARS, when the whole world still protesting against injustice, police brutality in Nigeria is a wrong shot by the IGP and the Presidential Panel on Police Reform”, Jumu’ah stated.

“What we need is total police reform, where citizens can record police officers activities on the road without no fear or violence, then we can have a decent policing environment. Provision of genuine life insurance for the police as well as good salaries at the same par with political office holders.”

The Human Rights Journalist chides Presidency for blaming previous administrations for their lapses, “what we voted for is the government who promised to do better than previous administrations not to blame previous governments.”

“For record purposes, PDP did not establish SARS as claimed by some quarters, Simeon Danladi Midenda (Rtd) formed SARS when late Col. Ezra Rindam of the Nigerian Army was killed by police officers at a checkpoint in Lagos in September 1992.”

The activist also commended Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, who is representing Owan Federal Constituency of Edo on his contribution towards impending Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike for conceding no government in Nigeria has been able to solve one single problem since Independence in 1960.

Jumu’ah quoted the lawmaker: “We should be embarrassed, the Nigeria ruling class all wearing big “Agbada”, riding air conditioning cars and building mansions in Asokoro and other places. We should be embarrassed that as a nation we have not made progress precisely in any sector.”

“Part of the problem is what is happening with ASUU, we are talking of out of school children and your governor goes out with twenty (20) cars, they are spending money to hire tugs but they cannot build schools for their children talk less of feeding the children once a day. Let’s take ourselves more seriously, let’s take our country more seriously, and do the right thing at the right time to save the future.”

President Bola Tinubu has called on religious leaders to refrain from vilifying or denigrating the nation in their sermons.

Speaking during Ramadan Iftar with traditional rulers and religious leaders at the State House on Thursday in Abuja, the President emphasized the important role of religious leaders in shaping public opinion and fostering a sense of unity among citizens.

He urged the leaders to be more constructive in their criticism of those in elective positions.

President Tinubu also declared that his administration is determined to turn Nigeria’s challenges into prosperity.

He reiterated that no terrorist can defeat the collective will of Nigerians, no matter how hard they try to prey on innocent citizens.

He urged traditional and religious leaders to forge a strong bond with the government to defeat terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and other forms of criminality in the country.

”Yesterday in Abuja, I attended the burial of the 17 soldiers killed in action at Okuama, Delta State. I saw their pregnant wives and little kids.

”The love of the nation is in your hands. Pray for our country. Educate our children. The sermons we preach to the members of our churches and mosques are important.

”Do not condemn your own nation. As a Yoruba man and as our fathers will say, ‘No matter how slippery the bottom of your child is, you must leave the beads there.’

“Leave the beads there. This is your country; do not condemn it in sermons, do not abuse the nation. Leadership is meant for change.

”Yes, this leader is bad, fine. Wait until the next election to change him, but do not condemn your country. Do not curse Nigeria. This is a beautiful land.

The President, who acknowledged the birthday wishes and goodwill extended to him on the occasion, reminded the leaders that his birthday on March 29, 2024, coincided with Good Friday.

“I have earned the honour of having my birthday fall on Good Friday, and I pray that on this Maundy Thursday, you all shall return to your homes safely. May God guide and keep you and your families in good health, and lift your spirits,” the President prayed.

Different speakers at the dinner expressed gratitude for the opportunity to come together in the spirit of Ramadan to share a meal with the President and renew the bonds of friendship that unite the nation.

Vice-President Kashim Shettima emphasized the pivotal roles of religious and traditional rulers in promoting peace and unity, urging them to continue to ‘‘build bridges that transcend ethnic and religious divides.’’

The Vice-President expressed delight that the nation’s economy is on a rebound, noting the strengthening of the naira against the dollar.

”The President means well for the nation, and he has continued to redefine the meaning and concept of modern leadership.

”For many years, fuel subsidy was an albatross. The President took a bold decision from day one, and he hit the ground running. Now the economy is turning the corner,” the Vice-President said.

Speaking on behalf of the Traditional Rulers Council of Nigeria, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, assured the President of the unwavering support of traditional rulers and commended the government’s efforts to address the hike in food prices and the security challenges.

”You are not alone, Mr. President. The prices of food items and goods are gradually coming down. You are doing your best on security, and we cannot allow you to do it alone. We will join hands to support your vision for the betterment of our nation,” the Ooni said.

Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, Emir of Zazzau, speaking on behalf of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), highlighted the significance of Ramadan as a period of reflection, empathy, and unity.

On the security situation in the country, the Emir of Zazzau, who represented the Sultan of Sokoto and President General of NSCIA, expressed optimism that the country will return to peace and stability.

”I am happy to see representatives of Muslim and Christian communities in this room. I pray God Almighty blesses the President for him to do more to take the country to the Promised Land,” the Emir prayed.

Apostle Samson Fatokun, General Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), noted that the Ramadan dinner with religious and traditional leaders, coincided with Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter, observed in commemoration of Jesus Christ’s institution of the Eucharist during the Last Supper.

The General Secretary, who delivered the address of CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, commended President Tinubu for fostering a harmonious relationship between the State and the Church.

”We are encouraged that your administration has shown great determination in tackling the challenges of kidnapping and banditry and bringing to justice the perpetrators of this dastardly act.

”We shall continue to show our support to your administration so that you can execute your noble intention for the nation,” CAN General Secretary said.

The presidential election of Senegal have been held but if outgoing President, Macky Sall could turn the hands of time around, He would take the prophecy of Nigerian prophet, Primate Ayodele regarding the election seriously and follow his instructions – Maybe that would save his anointed candidate, Amadou Ba.

Senegal Election: The Prophecy Of Primate Ayodele That President Macky Sall Ignored (VIDEO)

The election saw the candidate of the opposition party, Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye becoming victorious in an unprecedented manner; the ruling party’s candidate had to congratulate him even before the results were fully released just to show that it was a landslide victory.

Beyond what many experienced in the Sunday election, Primate Ayodele had warned President Macky Sall before the election about his anointed candidate, Amadou Ba, who was the immediate past Prime minister of Senegal.

The prophet in a video publication mentioned that the people of Senegal will not accept Amadou Ba’s candidacy in the election while also giving the president some advice on how to go about winning the election for his anointed candidate.

Primate Ayodele mentioned three major instructions to President Macky Sall and they include changing strategy, seeking the face of God for the candidate and ensuring that Ousmane Sonko, the major opposition leader doesn’t come out of jail before the election.

These were his words

‘’Senegalese president Macky Sall doesn’t understand what politics is. The people don’t want his candidate, he needs to quickly do two things; he should strategize urgently to seek the face of God for his candidate to have his way. Also, if the main opposition still produces the man he sent to jail and he wins at the court and faces his own candidate, He will defeat your candidate. Don’t allow him to come out, let him stay as long as you want him there but the moment he is released from prison, He will toughen your candidate.’’

From the foregoing, it’s obvious Primate Ayodele had foretold the loss of the President’s anointed candidate and if he had known, he would have followed instructions by seeking the face of God for Amadou Ba or even changing him since the prophet revealed that people will not want him to represent them.

Unfortunately, instead of doing things as instructed, President Macky Sall went ahead to jeopardize the chances of his party by attempting to extend his tenure and postponing the presidential election indefinitely.

Meanwhile, Primate Ayodele had warned the president against attempting to create tension in the country to avoid a military coup. Macky Sall went through the wrong route and this affected the chances of his party greatly in the election.

Similarly, the opposition candidates, Ousmane Sonko and Diomaye Faye were imprisoned but released 10 days before the election. As the man of God stated, their release from prison generated so much buzz around the candidacy of Faye and contributed to his victory in the election.

President Macky Sall was warned in Primate Ayodele’s prophecy about an imminent loss, he was given prophetic solutions to salvage the situation in his favour but he ignored all of them and decided to do things his own way. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out well for him.
