"Nigeria may soon explode" - Popular cleric warns

Dr Sunday Ola Makinde, a former Prelate of Methodist Church of Nigeria has said that the All Progressive Congress (APC) administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari is not fit to rule the country.

The cleric stated this on Monday, August 15, 2016 at the inaugural meeting of retired Christian leaders of major denominations in Nigeria facilitated by El-Rehoboth Global Leadership Foundation, in Abuja.

Dr Makinde maintained that the current economic situation may cause the country to explode.

"The APC is part of the corruption in the country," he said.

"They are not fit to be there, they must handle the issue of padding very carefully. We are sitting on a keg of gun powder. The day it will explode, it will consume us. So many graduates are not employed. Unemployed people are the people behind the militancy in the Niger Delta region.

“I want to warn Christians in the National Assembly. They should be careful, they should not take the issue of Sharia law and the grazing bill in the National Assembly lightly. Nobody can acquire my land. Northerners cannot acquire my land to graze their cattle. Let them go and graze in their own part of the country,” he added.

The cleric also advised the federal government and the APC to be fair in their fight against corruption.
