According to reports, Rev Fidelis Ayemoba who is the
minister-in-charge of OFM, Lagos zone, has called out to President
Muhammadu Buhari to prove that change is actually what he came to
implement
to Nigeria.
Fidelis Ayeomba also called on political leaders in the country to give dividends of democracy to the masses.
While he speaking in an interview with Vanguard reporters, Rev.
Ayemoba lamented that the current administration was causing the
majority of Nigerians to wallow in hunger and poverty.
He said in part:
"There was a factor that brought the president to power and if people are not seeing it, it means, he is a failure.
"He came up with the mantra of change and obviouslywe thought they
were going to move us from where we were to where we should be but when
we discovered the contrary people are bound to react.
"Two things are involved; one is that the president’s policy of change is not causing a change the way it was expected.
"Right now because of hunger nobody believe the change is even
coming. So he needs to prove beyond reasonable doubt in the next
possible time that change is actually what he came to cause.
How do you
think he can tackle the recession?
"First of all, if you are in our shoes who genuinely deal with the
masses, you understand that there is hunger in the nation, people are
suffering and the Bible says where there is gross darkness, much grace
is bound.
"I can say to you categorically that if we are driven out of the
cycle, we will discover that solution is very close to us than the
solution we less imagined. What doI mean by that?
"Nigeria has recycled leadership over time that younger generations
have no place in what is happening in the system and unless we walk out
of this cycle we’ll make very slow progress."
Speaking on Nigerian youths, he said:
"There are people who are firebrand; they are young men. In Nigerian
system when a young man goes out of the school with so much vision, with
qualification interms of papers there will be criteria that
disqualifies him: work experience and that is the secret behind the old
people in the power and the young sitting at home.
"Children are always begging fathers to eat, instead of fathers
retiring and the young ones providing for them. The younger generations
are depending on the aged father to feed them till they die and when
they die, they hand over to the old man.
"It is a continuity of the old head and whether you like it or not,
medically there is a stage you get to and your thinking faculty begins
to diminish. Smart thinkers are relegated, dying brain are still being
paraded.
"We should stop looking down on the younger generation who are genuinely on fire and can bring necessary change to our country."
"Our leaders should put our resources to use for our future; do the
right thing now that they have the opportunity to serve the nation,"he
concluded.
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has called for an
investigation into the act of the Department of State Service (DSS)over
unlawful arrest of Apostle Suleman of OFM and detention of people and
their continuous refusal to obey court order and release detained
personalities.
