The Spiritual Head of Soul Revival Outreach, Nnewi, in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Prophet Ikechukwu Uzukwu, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not done enough to deserve a second term in office.
Speaking with journalists at his church office on Tuesday, Prophet Uzukwu criticised the Tinubu administration, alleging that it has been characterised by poor electricity supply, insecurity and inadequate infrastructure.
He also claimed that many companies and industries had shut down during the current administration, resulting in increased unemployment, particularly among young people.
The cleric, popularly known as the Anambra Prophet, said he found it surprising that the President was seeking re-election despite what he described as the country’s worsening socio-economic conditions.
“One way to know a man who truly fears God is by how he handles power without becoming intoxicated by it. Unfortunately, many African leaders end their reign in disgrace and shame,” he said.
He urged political leaders to remember that public office is temporary and that no individual is greater than God.
“Nothing lasts forever. Every office has an end. No matter how powerful political office holders think they are, they cannot be stronger than Almighty God.
“President Tinubu cannot be more powerful than African leaders such as Samuel Doe, Idi Amin and Mobutu Sese Seko. They wielded enormous power and wealth in their time, yet they all eventually passed away,” he said.
Prophet Uzukwu said African nations would fare better if leaders followed the example of Nelson Mandela, whom he described as choosing to leave office voluntarily despite having the opportunity to remain in power.
