A cleric, Evangelist (Dr.) Chris Ikechukwu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to hand over the reins of power in 2023 to a popularly elected presidential candidate.
Dr. Ikechukwu who is the General Overseer of God’s Grace Evangelistic Ministry in a statement made available to newsmen during the weekend in Onitsha, Anambra State, warned that bad eggs among Nigerian political class should not be allowed to hijack the 2023 presidential election.
“All those corrupt politicians should be flushed out so that our country can be like other civilised countries of the world. So, Nigerians can say, ‘God is our refuge and dependant’.”
Asking Nigerians to pray, the cleric said the country needs drastic change in its leadership.
He challenged those he called “corrupt eggs” to allow the president to do the right thing as he winds off his eight years in office.
“We need a change from worst to best, not a change from confusion to frustration, from bribery to stealing and killings of innocent souls.”
The evangelist said Nigerians must change from bloodletting, destroying people who fights corruption, crime, ethnicity, abuse of democracy.
He decried the culture of silence in our society which allowed many not to criticise bad and corrupt government for fear of being killed by government agents or hired killers.
He said that Nigerians must also change a system that allowed the wicked to rule, while God fearing and innocent people were subjected to slavery, unless they join in vices.
He also advocated that Nigerians must shun excessive influence of money in the society which silences the poor.
“We need to change the system that encourages killers, evil doers and criminals, a system that support bandits to become millionaires, a system that praise evil citizens and leaders,” he said.
He condemned the system that eliminate writers and those who speak truth to power, thereby encouraging bad leadership and continuation of vices in the society, which brings untold suffering to the people.
The cleric lampooned the system that equally encourages nepotism, must rule at all cost, sit tight, born to rule mentally and marginalisation of some sections of the country.
