The Vical and Archdeacon of St. George’s Anglican Church, Okeagbe Akoko in Ondo state, Venerable Foluso Timothy Akerele has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to find solution to masses’ suffering.
He made the appeal at the Funeral and Thanksgiving Service for Mama Racheal Aina Oloniyo (A.K..A Iya Kora) aged 130 years held at St. George’s Anglican Church, Okeagbe Akoko in Akoko North West local government area of Ondo state.
Akerele who urged the Federal and State governments to seek answers to the existing hardship said a lot of Nigerians are really suffering.
“Our government must do everything within its power to reduce the suffering that the economic recession had caused.
“Children are dying everyday of hunger. No drugs in our hospitals, we can no longer sleep with our two eyes closed. No security for lives and property again.
“Many people, most times, also suffer on account of other people’s bad rulership and unfavourable government policies. It can be directly or indirectly affecting the individuals or the general public.
“Most at times people suffer for lack of care and provision of some basic needs of the society. Very high cost of living and abject poverty and all that are enough suffering on their own”‘ he said.
Akerele noted that all these are happening to us in Nigeria today because there is no fear of God again.
“God is really angry with us. We need to change for good. Mama Oloniyo was a faithful Christian. No wonder she was able to live for 130 years,” the Cleric said.
He noted that Mama Racheal Aina Oloniyo practice Old Time Religion as she was generous woman to the core saying that the end time would soon come, there is need to accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour.
