Prophet Sam Olu Alo has said those criticising President Bola Tinubu over the fuel subsidy removal will soon come out to praise and commend him for taking the decision.
Alo who is the planter of the Christ Apostolic Church, (Adamimogo Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide) also counselled Nigerian youths to embrace trades and vocations as means of livelihood and get less involved in political activities.
He said the bitter truth is that what the federal government is doing about fuel subsidy is very good and it would give Nigerians relief and great future liberty.
The cleric stated these while addressing newsmen in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital.
On the harsh effects of subsidy removal on the people he said, “If the government can succeed on the fuel removal it would be all joy for all of us too. Those that are blaming , slamming the federal government on the issue today, will later give credit to and bless the government for it”.
“When people were talking about palliatives, I told them that it may not address the situation and the people will soon be cursing those that introduced it, because the money will not get to the people it is meant for. Some few Nigeria will use it to further enrich themselves.
“If the experts suggested whether it should be used for the construction of railways and trains operation see for the next four years across the country, youths will be employed to work there, farmers will also Benefit, there must be a working agreement as far as that is concerned and a law be enacted that whoever found guilty of embezzling the funds meant for the project will be made to face capital punishment, you will see it will give us great joy . They can agree on using the subsidy money to rehabilitate all our hospitals and build well equipped ones across the country or schools, or electricity that can be sustained for so many years”.
Prophet Alo told Nigerians that whatever will be good will come with some challenges at the initial stage but urged them to be hopeful that all shall be well.
Speaking about the attitude of Nigerian youths towards self development and the country, he said “I am sorry to say this, most of our youths in Nigeria are not ready to work, but if they can think about finding something to do, it will be for their good. Our youths are brave and knowledgeable, the wisdom they have should be utilized to better their life. Some them should go into private business.
“In some of the developed countries, I was opportuned to visit, their youths are into large scale farming, with access to electricity and train and the government will buy all the crops from them after they are harvested . If the crops got spoiled, and it was confirmed they grow the crops, government will also compensate them.
“So, our youths should be prepared and be ready to work, they should find a job of their own to do and they should not just be thinking about only politics everytime . If you know you can do furniture making, carpentry work and other trades, go for training on them and government should support them by buying working equipments for them after training and let them pay back in bits
