Renowned International cleric, Prophet Samuel Adebayo Ojo, popularly known as “Baba Authority,” has made a heartfelt appeal to Nigerian political leaders to urgently address the nation’s pressing economic challenges.

Speaking during a service at the Freedom Apostolic Revival International Ministry (FARIM) in Ijari Ijebu, Prophet Ojo emphasised the critical need for leaders to prioritise the welfare of the citizens and implement effective solutions to alleviate the country’s hardships.​

According to Prophet Sam Ojo, “Nigerian politicians are treating the masses poorly because they know there is poverty. Reject their 10, 000 naira and Akara, noting that “Poverty is the reason you see a 13-year-old go into prostitution”

he urged his congregation to be smart with their votes when politicians come making promises, “Don’t vote for those who are treating you badly. Reject their money and polo shirts. Until they come to their senses and treat you well then we can vote for them.”

Baba Authority bemoans the rising insecurity, high cost of living and skyrocketing electricity hike.

“Nigeria is in trouble,” Prophet Ojo lamented, referring to the rising cost of living and spate of gruesome killings across several states in the North. He described these incidents as stark indicators of the nation’s deepening security crisis, driven by poverty, inequality, and leadership. “These killings and hardship are not just terrorism; they are signs of a deeper leadership crisis—a nation grappling with poverty, and inequality”, he stated. ​

He emphasised the need for better planning, transparency, and compassion in addressing the needs of poor Nigerians. “We need leaders who will prioritise the welfare of the people, ensuring that the people feel the impact of governance,” he urged. ​

Prophet Ojo’s message resonates with many Nigerians who are faced with the grim reality of the nation’s security challenges and skyrocketing cost of living. His call for unity, accountability, and divine intervention serves as a beacon of hope for a country striving for progress and stability.​
