Afuye, who urged Nigerians not to despair over the scorching effect of the current economic hardship on them, assured that President Bola Tinubu was desperately contriving means of palliating the sufferings of the Nigerian masses.
The deputy governor, on Sunday, said this in a statement by her media aide, Victor Ogunje, during a church service marking the 12th anniversary of God of Fire Pentecostal Ministry, Ido Ekiti, Ido/Osi Local Government Area of the state.
She said, “I know things are very tough, but the APC-led Federal Government under our father and leader, Asiwaju Tinubu is working assiduously to bring economic rebirth. This began with the removal of the fuel subsidy which some had hidden to scam Nigerians of billions of dollars yearly.
“The action is to ensure that our money is used for the poor Nigerians and not for a few oil cartels. I am optimistic that the country will bounce back and stand firmly on its feet. The present Nigeria under President Tinubu will succeed by bringing the expected economic prosperity to our doorsteps”.
In his sermon, the founder of the church, Prophet Segun Olabiwonu, who spoke on the topic ‘The Lord will deliver you’, said that God was aware of the country’s current economic situation, assuring all and sundry that divine help will soon emerge to deliver the nation.
The cleric said, “The Lord’s instructions don’t come in a comfortable form, he might tell you to do things that are not convenient, but a testimony awaits you when painstakingly followed.
“The Lord is always available to deliver everyone who is always ready to call upon His name. So, I urge the people never to derail from the orders of the Almighty God. Pray fervently for our country; hope and comfort shall come to our land,” he said.
