Those Against Fuel Subsidy Removal By Tinubu Created Problem, Caused Naira Downfall But God Has Answered Our Prayer — Pastor Adeboye
Adeboye said that if he and some people who joined him had not prayed and God answered their prayers and intervened, by now, $1 would have been N10,000.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said that the economic problems Nigerians are facing including the Naira fall was deliberately created by those who are against removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.
The cleric in a video of one of his sermons said that though Nigerians had been having financial challenges before the President came into power, those who were benefitting from fuel subsidy for petrol importation were not happy with Tinubu and decided to create problems and caused the Naira depreciation.
Adeboye said that if he and some people who joined him had not prayed and God answered their prayers and intervened, by now, $1 would have been N10,000.
The cleric who thanked God for intervention said, “Before our President came in, everybody knew that the major reasons why we were having financial problems, we have been having it before he came in, is the fact that a lot of money was being spent to import petrol.”
He questioned, “How can we be importing petrol where we have this in abundance here? We spent billions of Naira on our refineries, they didn’t work. So, we can be able to keep on importing.
“That is why when the President came in, the very first day he came, he said this money they spent on importing petrol, he cancelled it, and we were all rejoicing, thanking God.
“But some people were angry. Those who were making the money from importing petrol, and they decided okay, we will create a problem. All of a sudden, Naira began to go down fast.”
The man of God said, “I cried to my people, let us pray. Thank God some people joined me in praying, because the way Naira was going then, If God has not intervened, by now $1 would have been about N10,000, but God stepped in.”
