He said, “With the current situation in the country, Ekiti State inclusive, only God can intervene. God will choose someone to resolve the crisis in Nigeria. Even the blind know that Nigeria is not doing well. We are suffering in the midst of plenty, and our government has misplaced priorities.
“The problem with this country is leadership. It is unfortunate with the kind of leaders we have at the local, state, and federal levels of government. Nigeria has no problem but only a leadership problem.
“Critical areas of concern are the menace of kidnappings, murder, and general insecurity. We are witnessing a high cost of goods and services that is making life unbearable for people. This is largely caused by the thoughtless hike in the price of fuel.
