Religious leaders are urged by Chief Bola Tinubu to use the general elections of 2027 to remove ineffective politicians rather than denouncing Nigeria and using curses in their sermons.
At the State House in Abuja on Thursday, Tinubu gave this speech to a group of traditional and religious leaders during a Ramadan Iftar celebration.
In addition to stressing the value of constructive criticism, Tinubu called on religious leaders to actively participate in setting the course of the country.

“The love of the nation is in your hands,” he said, emphasising the need of being positive when addressing national challenges. For our nation, offer up prayers. Teach our kids. Preaching sermons to members of our churches and mosques is a serious business.
‘’Do not condemn your own nation. As a Yoruba man and as our fathers will say, ‘no matter how slippery the bottom of your child is, you must leave the beads there.
‘’Leave the beads there. This is your country; do not condemn it in sermons, do not abuse the nation. Leadership is meant for changes.
‘’Yes, this leader is bad, fine. Wait until the next election to change him, but do not condemn your country. Do not curse Nigeria. This is a beautiful land,” Tinubu added.
