“It is high time the expired and old politicians who have held Nigeria down left the stage so that we can have a new Nigeria of our dream where things work.”
Rev Emmanuel Chukwuma, the Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), has called on Nigerians home and abroad t get themselves prepared for a pending revolution.
The Archbishop, who has constantly criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s style, was on Tuesday spoke in an interview with Newsmen in Enugu.
According to him, the poverty rate is high in the country because of bad leadership.
Chukwuma said the N30,000 new minimum wage would not reduce poverty in Nigeria, adding that inflation would render the new pay worthless.
In his words: , “There is hunger and people are deprived of the basic necessities of life in Nigeria and the N30,000 new minimum wage, which amounts to N1,000 per day, would not solve any problem.
“How would people pay for house rent, school fees, medical fees and other utilities which must be taken care of, let alone feeding themselves and their families.”
“It is high time the expired and old politicians who have held Nigeria down left the stage so that we can have a new Nigeria of our dream where things work.”
Emmanuel further pleaded with the Nigeria Labour Congress to champion the revolution, which, according to him, is imminent.
He also called for the restructuring of the country.
“All political appointments must reflect federal character. Since the President and his deputy come from the North-West and South-West respectively, the position of the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives should go to other zones.” he added.
