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.

“I witnessed such, when I travelled to Turkey. They trained their youths in different trades and help them to sell their products. That was why we told Nigerian government to develop our tourism potentials, so that when the tourists are coming here, they can buy their products and government will be buying it from them to encourage them.

“For our youths themselves, they should be focused. All our elders we are seeing now in another 10 years time, most of them would have grown old and will not be able to get out of their houses again, then, it is the youth that will remain, but if they are not prepared, how are they going to take their rightful position in the society?.

Sharing his thoughts on about 40 days old President Tinubu-led government, he said, “As a man of God, it is very early to rate him but he has a good plan in mind for Nigeria. If we start praising him within this short period of time , though he has started but this is just the beginning.

“In my own view, on this fuel subsidy removal, I know he has started well and the appointments he has made so far, were not to impress some people and he is not doing badly.

“My prayers and admonition for him, is for God to guide him to do more, because his case is like he is the last hope for us in this country, for him to do well is what that will be good for us and the church of God.

“The most important thing is for the Christians and Muslims in this country to continue to pray for President Bola Tinubu and we should stop raining curses on our country.

“Some of our people are still saying, will this country be good again? It can still be good with the steps being taken by the president , people in diaspora are even happy about actions and steps he has taken so far. But you know most people don’t cherish what they have, we should keep praying for him not to take wrong steps and for him to be able to appoint right people into positions”.

He expressed sadness over the death of Prophet Michael Ojo Olowore.

Prophet Alo described the demise of the renowned CAC leader as a great loss to the entire members of the church worldwide

He said, “A big tree has fallen in CAC and Nigeria at large all our great fathers in the Lord knew that our father Olowere. For me, I will miss the prayer life of the late man of God.

“And I know that all CAC churches know that a renowned father of prayer has gone from this church and God should help us stand by the entire CAC Oke Agbara church and his immediate family’.
