Rev. David Ayuba Azzaman of The Kings Worship Chapel And Ministries International Sabon Tasha Kaduna has called on the Nigerian government to take immediate action to address the country’s foreign debt crisis, emphasizing its role in perpetuating poverty through bad policies ¹. Speaking at The Kings Worship Chapel And Ministries 2024 Convention program, Rev. Azzaman stressed the importance of saving as a means to escape poverty and please God.
“A few years ago, former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration made significant efforts to exit Nigeria from foreign debts, and we saw rapid economic growth under his leadership,” Rev. Azzaman noted. “However, subsequent administrations have accumulated foreign loans, worsening our economy.”
The Kaduna based cleric further advised Nigerians to avoid borrowing, citing it as a source of poverty. “Emulate former President Goodluck Jonathan,” he urged, highlighting Jonathan’s exemplary concession of defeat despite having the political and military machinery to maintain power.
The cleric expressed concerns over the recent Local Government Elections in Benue, Kaduna, and Akwa Ibom, where ruling parties swept the council polls. “This is the height of political malfeasance, a replay of what will happen in 2027,” Rev. Azzaman said. “But I urge politicians to emulate Goodluck Jonathan’s sportsmanship and concede defeat.”
Azzaman concluded by emphasizing Nigeria’s potential for greatness if its citizens turn to God.
