Nigerian televangelist and Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has berated fellow Nigerians for the choices they make during elections.
He expressed his views during a courtesy visit to the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed.
Several media outlets had earlier reported that Apostle Suleman was in Bauchi State for a two-day “Recovery Conference 2025”.
Speaking before the mega crusade, during his visit to the Bauchi State Government House, the pastor said the sufferings in the country are the result of the bad choices made during the 2023 elections.
Accompanied by his entourage, Apostle Suleman commended Governor Mohammed for his leadership and hospitality, describing him as a man of honour.
He assured him of his continued prayers for the leadership and people of Bauchi State.

Asked by journalists during an interview session at the Government House to express his view on the situation in the country, Suleman slammed Nigerians for their voting choices.
He said, “What Nigerians are going through is partly what they deserve. Before the election, we cried out, we screamed, we yelled.
“The man (President Bola Tinubu) who came into leadership had no manifesto— just a sense of entitlement with his ‘it’s my turn’ mantra.”
He lamented the state of the nation under Tinubu’s administration, pointing to policies and the devastating mismanagement of the oil sector.
“The oil sector has been plundered. In the next 10 to 15 years, I don’t think Nigerians will recover from the damage. Now, all we can do is pray,” he stated.
Apostle Suleman also called for Nigerians to reflect on their choices ahead of the 2027 elections, warning, “If they’ve suffered enough by then, perhaps they’ll make better decisions.”
