Change Your Bad Leader In 2027- Tinubu Tells Religious Leaders

President Bola Tinubu, during an Iftar event with traditional rulers and religious leaders at the State House in Abuja on Thursday, advised religious leaders against condemning and cursing Nigeria in their sermons.

Tinubu emphasized the importance of constructive criticism, urging leaders to utilize the upcoming 2027 general elections to effect change if necessary.

He stated: “The love of the nation is in your hands. Pray for our country. Educate our children. The sermons we preach to the members of our churches and mosques are important. Do not condemn your own nation. As a Yoruba man and as our fathers will say, ‘no matter how slippery the bottom of your child is, you must leave the beads there.'”

Tinubu continued: “Leave the beads there. This is your country; do not condemn it in sermons, do not abuse the nation. Leadership is meant for changes. Yes, this leader is bad, fine. Wait until the next election to change him, but do not condemn your country. Do not curse Nigeria. This is a beautiful land.”
