According to report reaching oyogist.com, The Federal Government of Nigeria has accused some clerics of tactically encouraging the ouster of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement on Saturday, Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, urged religious leaders to refrain from stoking the embers of hatred.
He said: “While religious leaders have a responsibility to speak truth to power, such truth must not come wrapped in anger, hatred, disunity and religious disharmony”
“Calling for a violent overthrow of a democratically-elected government, no matter how disguised such a call is, and casting a particular religion as violent is not what any religious leader should engage in, and certainly not in a season of peace”,
He said while some religious leaders may not be able to disguise their national leadership preference, “they should refrain from stigmatizing the leader they have never supported anyway, using well-worn and disproved allegations of nepotism or whatever”.

We all are tired of this administration. Dollar keeps rising, things are so expensive in the markets, the economy is in a gloomy state. So, why would anyone still want to support the present administration?
