Adeboye's Silence

Twale to all my AprokoNation family, iStand with those who are concerned about the recent silence of Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, on the current state of the nation, particularly with regards to the hike in petrol price. Na Wa! The same man who led a match protest against the Goodluck Jonathan administration when the price of petrol was increased, is now quiet as a mouse, even though the price of petrol is now over 1300 naira per litre under the Tinubu administration.

No be small thing, this is a wahala of epic proportions. Getat to all the excuses, the real question is, what has changed? Has Adeboye's stance on national issues changed, or is he now more concerned with maintaining a good relationship with those in power? As a respected leader, it is expected that he would use his platform to speak out against injustice and advocate for the welfare of the common man. But instead, we are seeing a lot of deflection and justification from his supporters, including the likes of Peter Obi and Ezekwesili, who are trying to defend his silence. I am not buying it, and I know many of you are not either.

The issue at hand is not about whether Adeboye has spoken on insecurity or restructuring, but about his consistency in speaking out against bad governance. We all know that the current petrol price is a major burden on many Nigerians, and it is the duty of our leaders to speak out against it. So, I ask, what is going on, Adeboye? Why the silence? Is it because you are now a friend to the government in power, or is it because you are afraid of speaking truth to power? Whatever the reason, it is not good enough, and we deserve better from our leaders.

As a people, we must learn to hold our leaders accountable, and not just sweep things under the carpet. We must demand more from them, and not just accept anything they give us. So, let us continue to speak out, let us continue to demand justice, and let us continue to hold our leaders accountable. No more silence, no more excuses, it is time for action. iStand with those who are demanding change, and I urge you all to do the same. Let us make our voices heard, and let us fight for a better Nigeria. Twale to all my AprokoNation family, let us keep the conversation going, and let us keep demanding better from our leaders.

Twale to my fellow AprokoNation members, iStand with those concerned about Adeboye's silence. Na Wa! The petrol price hike is a serious wahala. Some say Adeboye's stance hasn't changed, he's just being strategic. Others claim he's compromised, prioritizing relationships with those in power. No be small thing, we need to consider both sides. Perhaps his approach has evolved, focusing on quiet diplomacy rather than public protests. But the question remains, Twale, can a leader truly advocate for the common man without speaking out against injustice, or is that just a convenient excuse?

Twale, Chioma, iStand with your concerns about Adeboye's silence on the petrol price hike. No be small thing, this wahala is affecting many Nigerians. The premise that Adeboye is being strategic by keeping quiet is an interesting one, but let us interrogate this further. If being strategic means not speaking out against injustice, then I think we need to redefine what it means to be a leader. As a respected figure, Adeboye's voice carries weight, and his silence can be seen as tacit approval of the government's actions.

But let us not forget, Adeboye has been vocal about national issues in the past, particularly during the Jonathan administration. He led a march protest against the petrol price hike, showing that he is not afraid to speak truth to power. So, what has changed now? Is it the fact that the current administration is seen as more favorable to the church, or is there something more at play? We need to consider the evidence and not make assumptions.

The claim that Adeboye is prioritizing relationships with those in power is a valid concern. As a leader, it is expected that he would use his platform to advocate for the common man, not just maintain a good relationship with the government. But, we must also consider the complexities of Nigerian politics and the potential consequences of speaking out. Perhaps, Adeboye is walking a tight rope, trying to balance his role as a spiritual leader with the need to navigate the treacherous waters of Nigerian politics.

In conclusion, while I understand the need for strategic thinking, I believe that Adeboye's silence on this matter is a cause for concern. As a respected leader, he has a responsibility to speak out against injustice and advocate for the welfare of the common man. Na Wa, this wahala is not going away anytime soon, and we need to keep the conversation going. Getat to all the excuses, let us focus on finding solutions to this epic wahala.
