The National President of the Oduduwa Integrity Association, Evangelist, Engineer, and Honourable Omotosho Banji, has appealed to Yoruba leaders, socio-cultural groups, and Nigerians at large to stop blaming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the country’s long-standing challenges.
In a press statement issued today, Engr. Omotosho, who leads the socio-cultural and faith-based organization founded in 1990, emphasized that Nigeria’s current problems predate the Tinubu administration and are deeply entrenched in historical, systemic, and spiritual foundations.
“Fellow Nigerians,” Engr. Omotosho declared, “President Tinubu is not the architect of Nigeria’s problems. These problems are deep-rooted and have festered for decades. They did not start with him, and it is both unfair and unwise to make him a scapegoat.”
Citing a spiritual vision he said he received 35 years ago, Omotosho elaborated:
“God revealed to me in a vision, based on 1 Samuel 15:28, that the government’s success, the nation’s integrity, and its economic prosperity had been withdrawn from us and handed over to a neighboring country. From that time, Nigeria’s currency devaluation, Sambisa Forest terrorism, kidnapping, 419 fraud, fake pastors, fake imams, and the erosion of our national values all took root. Any president in office since then has simply presided over a country whose spiritual mantle had shifted. Unless we collectively acknowledge this and seek God’s intervention, no leader, no matter how determined, can singlehandedly restore Nigeria’s glory.”
He continued: “We must stop pointing fingers at Tinubu or any other leader. Instead, let us come together—Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and all ethnic groups—and return to God in unity and repentance. I am confident that if we genuinely seek divine restoration, within a month, we will see a miraculous turnaround in our country’s fortunes.”
Engr. Omotosho further urged President Tinubu and other political leaders to place spiritual awakening at the center of national transformation. “Mr. President,” he said, “if you attempt to solve Nigeria’s problems without putting God first, you will fail. We need to come together, seek God’s face, and reclaim what has been taken from us as a nation. This is not just about politics—it is about restoring Nigeria’s destiny.”
He concluded with a passionate call for national unity and moral rebirth. “Tinubu is not the problem, and neither are his policies. Our true problem is spiritual disunity and a loss of moral compass. Let us unite, seek God’s guidance, and watch Nigeria rise again.”
Evangelist Omotosho also called on political and religious leaders across the Southwest to collaborate in organizing a three-day prayer session for national peace and unity. He extended Eid-al-Adha greetings to the Muslim community and urged patience and moderation during the festive period.
