Founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has urged Nigerians to prioritise visionary leadership ahead of future elections, warning that poor political choices could worsen the country’s economic situation.

The cleric made the remarks during a recent message to members, where he referenced the depreciation of the naira and growing economic hardship across the country.

Ibiyeomie Speaks On Nigeria’s Economy

According to him, Nigeria’s economic challenges have deepened over the years, with the value of the naira falling sharply compared to previous years.

He warned that if Nigerians repeat what he described as wrong leadership choices in future elections, the exchange rate could deteriorate further.

“Naira was 100 and something 7 years ago. Now it’s 610. If you make mistake it will be 2000,” he said.

The pastor urged citizens to focus less on political parties and more on individuals with practical plans and clear visions for national development.

Criticism Of Politicians

Ibiyeomie also criticised politicians who frequently switch political parties, alleging that many are motivated by personal interests rather than service to the people.

According to him, some politicians only defect when they fail to secure appointments or political advantages within their parties.

“Once this party doesn’t favour them, they jump to another party,” he said.

The cleric argued that such political behaviour weakens public trust and contributes to instability within the political system.

Warning Against Vote Buying

The pastor further condemned vote buying and financial inducement during elections, urging Nigerians not to trade their future for temporary benefits.

Referencing the biblical story of Esau, he warned against sacrificing long-term national progress for short-term financial gains.

“If you collect money you are Esau. Esau sold his birthright for a morsel of meal,” he stated.

He maintained that leadership decisions should be guided by integrity, vision, and what he described as divine direction rather than monetary influence.

“I’m Not Campaigning”

Ibiyeomie clarified that he was not campaigning for any political party or candidate, insisting that his comments were based on concern for the country’s future.

According to him, his responsibility as a preacher includes speaking honestly about national issues affecting citizens.

“I’m not campaigning, I don’t have any party. I’m a preacher, but I must tell you the truth,” he said.

His comments have since generated reactions online, with many Nigerians debating the role of religious leaders in political discussions and national development.
