Pastor Adewale Giwa, senior pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry, has called on the political leaders in the country to come together and organize a referendum with a view to quelling the anger burning among the citizens.
Giwa specifically warned that Nigeria might cease to exist if the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, should go ahead with the 2023 elections without considering the plight of the masses.
INEC had fixed Saturday, February 25 for the 2023 general elections.
However, Pastor Giwa while addressing his members in Akure, the Ondo State capital, advised politicians to channel their energy towards a referendum, describing it as the only gesture to make Nigerians happy.
“As it is, Nigeria doesn’t need 2023 elections. Let me advise those jostling for the forthcoming elections to channel their energy towards a referendum.
“Referendum is the only gesture that can quell the anger of the masses. It is more democratic to hold a referendum rather than the government alone decide.
“The citizens no longer have trust in the politicians; they have suffered in the hands of political oppressors over the years.
“Failure to organize a referendum that can allow all the citizens to give their opinion before any election will spell doom for the country,” he said.
