This is not a popular opinion but an insightful one. The basis of my advocacy for Tinubu's second term is based on biblical principles and critical observation and examination of his first term performance.

This is not a support for APC as we can all see that this administration is not being run by our typical ideals of men of integrity. Most of whom have cases of corruption trailing their previous and even present portfolios. Some of which are true, some false.

This is also not an attack on Obidients as truly, they are the realists in reacting to the actual economic hardships in the land. Their support for Peter Obi is mostly borne out of a need to see a "man of integrity" run this country for a change. Even though it could be alleged that Buhari already towed this template and failed.

So what actually is this?

This is a case for Tinubu based on how he seems to align with God's will in this time and season regarding the nation of Nigeria perhaps because of God's concern for his children domiciled here. Highlighted here are some of my postulations;

1. Nigeria has often gotten the presidents we deserve. Let's face it we have a majority of citizens who are themselves corrupt. And it is out of this majority that our government comprises. We are a nation recycling corrupt politicians. A bad tree cannot produce a good fruit. Even the gospel that is preached in majority of our churches is producing corrupt believers. Selah.

2. Prior to the 2023 elections, the hopes of Nigerians in the "corruption Messianic"campaign of Buhari had been dashed. It seemed his administration even produced a more corrupt governance than his predecessors. Nigerians also suffered major economic blows having depleted her foreign reserves and cost of living had become unbearable for the masses. Insecurity ravaged the lands. Terrorism, kidnapping and banditry that seemed majorly domiciled in the North had spread their tentacles to all geopolitical zones under APC/Buhari's administration.
The church faced persecutions, kidnappings and all forms of attacks more than it had ever experienced.

3. Nigerians having lost hope in man were forced to cry to God. Churches like never before rallied and prepared their congregations towards the election, charging members to secure their PVCs in order to vote enmasse and embarking on fasting and prayers not for personal needs only but also to intercede on behalf of Nigeria. Even casual/carnal Christians fasted and prayed because the hardship had touched the bones, indiscriminate of status, tribe, gender, class age, religion, etc. This fulfilled biblical principle of 2 Chronicles 7:14.

4. The question is do we believe that God heard our cries and answered our prayers? Do we believe in God's sovereignty? Do we trust God's way? Do we believe that God is faithful to his principles/promises? The answer is introspective.

5. Some believers prayed that God should give us Peter Obi. Some prayed that it should be Osinbajo. Some prayed that it should be Tinubu. Some probably prayed for any of the other presidential candidates. One common denominator is that we all prayed for God's intervention. And the thoughts of God and the ways of God are not the thoughts and ways of man, except by divine revelation can we peek into the mind of God. And thank God, by the word and spirit of God we have the mind of Christ. Selah. 1 Cor 2:16.

Continued in the comment.

6. While it may not seem like it immediately, God indeed heard our cries and answered our prayers. When God intervenes into a life or situation, the transformation is not initially rosy. In fact the level of damage/corruption that is peculiar to that life/situation also determines the level of depth it would require to transform that life/situation.
When a person who was born into a second generation family of true believers/ministers, their conversion usually seeming easier and not so dramatic. But when someone who is the first to genuinely become born again from a family of idolators or another religion, there is usually a significant level of tribulation they would face to become truly delivered before break through. Nigeria is such a case of the latter that has gone through decades of corrupt government and even centuries of idolators. So clearly the transformation/change we also desperately desire and prayed for has come at such a price.

7. Like the exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage/slavery/corruption, it was not a rosy experience. Not only did their deliverance come by a mighty hand of God from the strong contentions of the powers of Egypt. But also they themselves had become so entrapped in their mindset, that stockholm syndrome had set in that they would rather die in Egypt than continue to face the hardship on the wilderness journey. So much that the generation that left Egypt and received the promise of the land flowing with milk and honey never got to enter into that promised land. But according to God's faithfulness their children obtained the promise by grace. Selah

9. God in His sovereignty has allowed Tinubu to become the president of Nigeria for reasons best known to him. And just as he used Gentile kings such as Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus and Darius to execute his will, he has also chosen a Muslim politician to be the president of Nigeria in this time and season. Why? Perhaps because it would be difficult for a true Christian to partake and even lead a democratic government as it is today without his white being stained.

10. Finally, I have often maintained that God is a jealous God. When we give the glory of God to a man, then we have idolized the man and invariably committed idolatry. This is what happened with Osinbajo and even Peter Obi. We have idolized these men. Idolatry is a very tricky snare to fall into. And it is so easy for men to see godliness/success in a man and make a god out of that man. But it is the responsibility of the man to point and return that glory to his God as a testimony to all. This happened with Paul and Barnabas like wise and we see how they responded. Acts 14:12-16

11. Regarding the Performance of the Tinubu's administration, here are trackable KPIs that validate that this government is on the right track and will produce prosperity in due time, hopefully during the next tenure;

-Removal of the fuel subsidy: This has been declared as a political suicide but Tinubu took the bold step for the sake of a lasting prosperity. Peter Obi like wise initially claimed he would remove fuel subsidy but today has reneged claiming he would simply remove the corruption in fuel subsidy. Sounds like Buhari 's failed template. Alex Otti, the super governor of Abia state, recently reaffirmed that removing the fuel subsidy was the same step he would have taken even though it was a tough decision. This also paved the way for the transparency that gave confidence to Dangote and Bua groups to invest in the refinery industry.

-Floating the foreign exchange. This raised the cost of living in Nigeria exponentially. But has also given us the true picture of the purchasing power of the Naira. On the positive side, it has stabilized the Naira for predictable investments.

-Adequate funding of governance via FAAC. The funds saved from fuel subsidy removal has also helped increase funds allocated to states and local governments which has helped governors run their states without dealing with the hydra-headed strikes that used to ravage the country by unpaid and aggrieved civil servants, labourers and pensioners. It is scarcely heard in this administration that governors owe salaries again. Although the cost of living is there to contend with.

-Intervention funds, Nelfund, etc

-Infrastructure and technology.

-Security also experienced some level of improvement due to collaboration with foreign intelligence and also increase in military investment and salary. Although there is much still to be done. Perhaps the next tenure will see a more daring approach to tackling the powerful culprits who have monetized terrorism.

In conclusion, Tinubu deserves a second term because his administration is on the tough but right path to the prosperity of Nigeria. And a true transformation takes time, four (4) years will not suffice. Let us support the journey to our promised land. Let us not be like the generation of the Israelites that resisted their Godly salvation through temporary sacrifice/suffering but craved the Egyptian fuel subsidy" only to end up missing their promise.
Finally as believers, God works mightily in the temporary suffering. Rom 8:18. Let us be conscious not to despair but to draw grace and strength, inspiration, wisdom, that we need in this season from God and from one another that will help us to thrive and sustain the coming prosperity. Grace, Comfort and Peace to us all in Jesus name. Amen

The primary concern of God is that His children are reconciled to him in His spiritual kingdom through Jesus Christ.

But as believers we are also to be blessings to nations especially ours. So as we pray for Nigeria l, our focus should be on prospering in our walk with Jesus. He himself has promised that as we seek his kingdom and righteousness, He will make provision for the things we need (not our lists).

I did not receive that revelation, I believe he is in the best position to unravel it.

However Saul and Paul are simply two different identities of the same person having been transformed upon his encounter with Christ.

Hence Saul could represent the time of hardship/persecution which can be attributed to the first term. While Paul could represent the time of salvation and glorification/prosperity which by God's grace will be attributed to the second term.

Or Saul could be Buhari while Paul could be Tinubu.

Or Saul could be Tinubu while Paul would be the next president that will succeed him either after his 4 years or 8 years.

May God's good will be done.

I don't think Nigerians should put themselves to this rollercoaster of predictions again. And I sincerely hope our pastors/prophets will not sensationalise the pulpit.

A lot of people lost their faith in church after such predictions failed in the last elections. So let's do our bid to focus on Jesus regardless of who wins the election. Knowing that God is able to turn the heart of whoever sits on the seat of leadership to do His will- including the president, governors, ministers, lawmakers, judiciary, etc.

Does Peter Obi seem more righteous than Tinubu by human standards? I will say yes, I respect his prudence but since they are all not righteous considering the allegations against him. he like wise does not fulfill the condition for that promise.

The template for unseating Tinubu has clearly been revealed which is a coalition of the opposition parties to produce one formidable presidential candidate against Tinubu.

You should ask yourself why are they all resisting this obvious game-changer?

1. Because their individual personal ambition is greater than stepping down for the people's will. Peter Obi himself could not agree to the possibility of stepping aside for any one else to lead the coalition except himself in a recent BBC interview.

2. Because there seems to be a confusion in the camp of the opposition ever since the 2023 presidential elections

Righteousness is two-fold.

1. imputed righteousness is right-standing with God through faith in Jesus Christ. This is the gift of God which we obtain by grace simply for placing our faith in Jesus Christ. Not of works lest anyone should boast. Eph 2:8

2. Works of righteousness which grows as we follow the sanctification journey in obedience to the Holy Spirit. The fruits we bear that show that we are in Christ. Eph 4:1

By my own human observation, I have not seen any of the presidential candidates that meet either of this criteria.

I judged them by the word of God, not my own standard. The primary criterion for knowing who is righteous before God is who believes and follows Jesus Christ. It is not I who judge them but the word of God.

But I am not deciding my vote based on who is a follower of Christ or who is righteous as I do not see anyone of them as righteous. But who aligns with the will of God by my discernment. I am not forcing my opinion on anyone simply sharing my observations and postulations. Everyone ultimately has the free will to agree with it or disagree with it.
