The National President of the Oduduwa Integrity Association (OIA), Evangelist Engineer Omotosho Banji, has issued a heartfelt call to Yoruba leaders, Yoruba organizations, and all Nigerians to desist from placing blame on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the nation’s longstanding problems.
Founded in 1990, the Oduduwa Integrity Association is a socio-cultural and faith-based organization dedicated to promoting integrity, unity, and spiritual awakening among the Yoruba people and Nigerians at large.
Under the leadership of Engr. Omotosho, the association has championed numerous community development projects and initiatives aimed at fostering social harmony and moral rejuvenation.
In a press statement released today, Engr. Omotosho emphasized that Nigeria’s challenges —ranging from economic instability to insecurity— are deeply rooted in historical, systemic, and spiritual factors that transcend any single administration.
“Fellow Nigerians,” Engr. Omotosho declared, “President Tinubu is not the architect of Nigeria’s problems. These problems are deep-rooted and have festered for decades. They did not start with him, and it is both unfair and unwise to make him a scapegoat.”
Drawing from a vision he received 35 years ago, Engr. Omotosho elaborated: “God revealed to me in a vision, based on 1 Samuel 15:28, that the government’s success, the nation’s integrity, and its economic prosperity had been withdrawn from us and handed over to a neighboring country.
“From that time, Nigeria’s currency devaluation, Sambisa Forest terrorism, kidnapping, 419 fraud, fake pastors, fake imams, and the erosion of our national values all took root. Any president in office since then has simply presided over a country whose spiritual mantle had shifted. Unless we collectively acknowledge this and seek God’s intervention, no leader, no matter how determined, can singlehandedly restore Nigeria’s glory.”
He continued: “We must stop pointing fingers at Tinubu or any other leader. Instead, let us come together —Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and all ethnic groups— and return to God in unity and repentance. I am confident that if we genuinely seek divine restoration, within a month, we will see a miraculous turnaround in our country’s fortunes.”
Engr. Omotosho also challenged President Tinubu and all political leaders to prioritize spiritual renewal as the cornerstone of national rebirth. “Mr. President,” he said, “if you attempt to solve Nigeria’s problems without putting God first, you will fail. We need to come together, seek God’s face, and reclaim what has been taken from us as a nation. This is not just about politics—it is about restoring Nigeria’s destiny.”
Concluding his address, Engr. Omotosho urged all Nigerians to embrace unity, spiritual responsibility, and faith in the nation’s potential.
“Tinubu is not the problem, and neither are his policies. Our true problem is spiritual disunity and a loss of moral compass. Let us unite, seek God’s guidance, and watch Nigeria rise again.”
Omotoso calls for collaboration of leaders in Southwest, seeking to embank on a 3 days prayers for the peace and unity in the land.
Omotoso wished Eid-al-Adha greetings to Muslims and called for patience and restraint in their celebration.
