President Tinubu, please read the writing on the wall

Presently, nobody would deny that Nigeria is in a state of dystopia with mounting insecurity, hunger, poverty, corruption among others ravaging the land. Amidst this pestilence is also a disconnect between the masses of people and those that rule over them. Not only are those entrusted to rule over the people engaging in denial over the state of things that they are responsible for bringing about, they are proceeding to exacerbate the situation by the policies and measures they apply. And to add salt to injury, the rulers of the land have turned to mocking the people over the suffering and misery they subject the people.

It is no doubt by God’s design that President Bola Tinubu is ruling Nigeria under the present circumstances. While President Tinubu basks in this state of power, it is a huge question as to whether he recognises that this position carries with it a heavy test of faith and belief in the power of God who placed him on the throne he now sits.

On the strengths of his policies and utterances, majority of Nigerians would doubt very much that President Tinubu deeply cares about the plight of the people he rules over. Many Nigerians would point to the statements of the President as evidence that he is in denial, disconnect and even in disdain of the people of Nigeria.

But rather than bask in opulent exercise of the power that God has bestowed on him, President Tinubu should also consider the responsibility he owes to God and not forget that the power he currently wields is not ad infinitum. And most significantly, President Tinubu should consider that the power he currently exercises by the divine hand also  carries with it circumstances and consequences that will not just test him, but also judge his actions and statements surely and inevitably as happened with rulers before him. And in this divine judgment, no human Judge or security apparatus, indeed no human contrivance can intervene to ward off God’s course of action. We witnessed it with other leaders, all of whom contrived to ‘’outwit’’ God.

President Tinubu has unwittingly pronounced his own divine fate and judgment when he stated that Nigerians should not vote for him when he comes for re-election if within the four years of his first term he did not provide electricity to Nigeria. Even though his handlers said that what Tinubu’s speech was being misinterpreted, the truth is that if he meant this to garner votes from the people, his wish was granted by God who installed him in power. But since he had not made good on his promise and he is now seeking to come for re-election, President Tinubu should bear in mind that just as God granted the first part of his request, he probably would also grant him the second part which is to deny him his wish for re-election.

So, under the present, it is as they say, from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. God cannot be mocked.

But history has recorded that rulers who forgot to imbibe its enduring lessons end up becoming its victims. It has been the way of rulers in history in exercise of the powers given to them by God to forget him. In a way it is God’s way of setting them for eventual judgment by denying them the necessity of introspection and recognising that not only the power they exercise comes from God but also of making them to get lost in their covenant with God.  All the signals are clear in the horizon of a looming rupture in Nigeria under President Tinubu. For sure he cannot be blamed entirely on how we got to this pass. But by the same token President Tinubu cannot deny knowledge of the dire conditions precedent in the country before he came to power and the fact that God had given him the powers to change things for the better as a test of his faith and belief.

President Tinubu cannot deny seeing and reading the clear signals of the consequences of his rule in Nigeria. And surely like rulers of the country before him he will not escape the divine judgment that follows from his rule.
