Why Tinubu’s govt is the worst in history – Apostle Suleman fumes
Controversial clergyman, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has ignited yet another wave of public reactions following his scathing criticism of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, which he described as the “worst in Nigeria’s history.”
In a new video from a recent church sermon shared widely across social media, the fiery preacher did not hold back his frustration. Visibly angered and emotionally charged, Apostle Suleman lamented the harsh economic realities confronting millions of Nigerians under the current regime.
Speaking passionately from the pulpit, the Omega Fire Ministries General Overseer expressed deep concern about the unprecedented levels of hunger ravaging the nation.
He noted that many families can no longer afford basic meals, and that daily survival has become a painful struggle for the average Nigerian citizen. While he refrained from calling names in certain parts of the message, his repeated reference to the suffering under the “current administration” made it clear he was referring to Tinubu’s government..
According to Suleman, the level of suffering witnessed in the country today is unmatched, even when compared with previous administrations that were also widely criticized.
He described the government’s inability to address the root causes of hardship as a moral and political failure, stressing that ordinary Nigerians are being pushed to the brink. From rising food prices to the declining value of the naira, the preacher argued that the burden being placed on citizens is no longer sustainable.
Suleman, known for his bold stance against bad governance, gave voice to what millions across the country are feeling — fear, frustration, and helplessness amid skyrocketing prices and widespread poverty.
His comments came at a time when many families are struggling to afford basic necessities, with inflation biting harder and no visible relief in sight.
Apostle Suleman’s appeal is more than just a sermon — it is a wake-up call to the nation’s leaders, reminding them that every policy affects real people battling to survive.

The Arewa APC Forum, Kano State chapter, has announced the withdrawal of its support for the second-term bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, citing concerns over governance and leadership direction.
In a statement dated April 17, 2026, the forum said its decision followed “extensive consultations and careful reflection” on the state of affairs at the federal level.
The group stated that it could no longer, “in good conscience,” continue to support the current administration, which it criticised over alleged issues including nepotism, incompetence, and corruption.
“We believe that leadership must inspire confidence, uphold fairness, and demonstrate a sincere commitment to national unity, institutional integrity, and responsible governance,” the statement read.
It added that where such values are persistently undermined, “silence becomes complicity.”
The forum further declared that its confidence in the current political direction has been withdrawn, urging its members to align with this position in future political engagements.
The statement was signed by Sallah Hakilu Kibiya, chairman of the forum in Kano State.
The development signals potential cracks within support structures linked to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly in the northern region, as political alignments begin to shift ahead of the next electoral cycle.
