A former deputy governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, has blamed the anger of God against Nigeria as responsible for the suffering in the land. She also blamed falsehood, corruption and wickedness on one another as reasons God is angry with the nation.
Ojikutu dropped the bombshell on Thursday in a statement to journalists in Lagos.
According to her, God is angry because the nation has a preference for falsehood and the people are wicked to their neighbours, noting, “and we are worshipping too many deities that are not for God.” I’ll Renounce My Citizenship Before Tinubu, Ojikutu
She said, “We are wicked to one another. People owe you; they have the money and they refuse to pay. The government owes workers; the government has the money and it refuses to pay the workers and they say they should not steal.
“People are using human parts for money rituals to match the status of people who have stolen from the treasury.”
Ojikutu noted that Nigerians have wrong priorities because of warped morals.
“Our priorities are wrong. We have gone to the dog with our morals. We should turn to God sincerely and ask for forgiveness. People should turn to God for mercy and He will have mercy on Nigeria and give us rulers that will not punish not punish us.
“The country has been sold. What should have been used as a provision for us has been used as a deal.”
She noted that laws the government makes criminalise almost 99 per cent of Nigerians.
Ojikutu said, “The only solution Nigerians know now is to break laws because the government makes laws that are impossible not to break.
“When things are difficult for people, they will break the law. So, people look for shortcuts in order to survive and in the process, they break the law.
“Think about those that bypass electricity meters or those that forge their certificates. If you read the Holy Book and look at what is happening in Nigeria, it shows that God is angry with this country. Everybody must be prayerful because God is angry and giving us a chance to repent, but we are missing that chance every time.”
She reckoned that Nigeria has enough money to rescue the economy and there is no need for the fuel price hike.
According to the ex-deputy governor, “This hike in petrol pump price should not be; we know where the money is. There is enough money in the hands of a few to rescue this nation. It only needs a courageous, patriotic leader to change the narrative.
“Our commonwealth in the hands of the few can be ploughed into the economy to revive it, create jobs, carry out massive reorientation, tackle terrorism with determined security and make agriculture attractive.”
