The General Overseer, Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Rev. Sam Aboyeji, has urged the Federal Government to consider the suffering of Nigerians and lower the pace of its speed to fix the economy.

Aboyeji gave the advice, yesterday, during the close of the 69th yearly convention of the church with the theme, “God of Wonders,” held at the Foursquare Camp along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ajebo, Ogun State.

“My advice to the government is to take it easy and stop rushing to fix the problems as Nigerians are lamenting,” he said.

The General Overseer said that God had declared the nation as the glory of Africa and the promise must come to pass.

Meanwhile, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who was represented at the occasion by Special Adviser to the Governor on Religious Affairs, Rev. Bukola Adeleke, described the church as pivotal in promoting education, morals and shaping the lives of future generation.

He lauded the mission of the church on transforming communities and bringing hope to the hopeless.

Also, Rev. Olabisi Aboyeji urged parents to realise that the home is the first school for their wards and they should create time for their children.

RELATEDLY, Muslims in the South-West region, under the auspices of the Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN), yesterday, urged President Bola Tinubu to intensify efforts to reduce suffering and hardship in the country.

The MUSWEN President and Deputy President-General of Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Rasaki Oladejo, gave the charge during the ninth MUSWEN General Assembly held at the Central Mosque of the University of Ibadan (UI).

Oladejo lamented that the current economic situation in the country should be handled with serious caution.

He urged the President to show more human feelings, and put measures in place to mitigate sufferings in the country.

Oladejo also charged Tinubu to spend the gains on subsidy removal on security, infrastructure development, electrification, massive food production and employment-generating projects.

He added that food importation should not be an option to be considered, as it would make a mockery of subsidy removal.
