Nigerian cleric David Ibiyeomie has called on citizens to prioritize visionary leadership in future elections, warning that the country’s economic situation could worsen if poor leadership choices continue.
In a recent public message, the pastor referenced the sharp depreciation of the naira over the past several years, comparing its past value to its current exchange rate and suggesting that continued economic mismanagement could lead to further instability.
He urged Nigerians to look beyond political parties and instead focus on individuals with clear developmental plans for the country, criticizing what he described as opportunistic movement among politicians who frequently switch parties based on personal interest rather than ideology or service delivery.
The cleric also condemned what he characterized as transactional politics, including the influence of money during elections, advising citizens to resist financial inducement and make principled voting decisions.
He further emphasized his position as a preacher rather than a political campaigner, stating that his appeal was based on moral conviction and concern for national progress.
According to him, leadership selection should be guided by integrity and perceived divine direction rather than material gain.
His words in part …
“Naira was 100 and something 7 years ago. Now it’s 610. If you make mistake it will be 2000. Vote someone who has a vision for this country. Not all this parties you are calling they’ve all failed. Look for somebody with a vision. Otherwise you’ll come back to tell me we’re regretting.
Once this party doesn’t favour them, they jump to another party. When they don’t give them appointment there they say they’re resigning and join another party. They jump like pr0st*!tut*£s from here to there.
You can’t influence me at my age. Which money will you give me that will influence me? I know who I will vote. I will just pray and pray and ask God who will deliver this country? And when God shows me I’ll vote him.
If you collect money you are Esau. Esau sold his birthright for a morsel of meal. The money they shared to you before where e dey.
When you share money to the hands of few, the man with vision turns the life of everyone. I’m not campaigning, I don’t have any party.
I’m a preacher, but I must tell you the truth…”

If you make this same mistake to vote for the wrong person in 2027, Dollar will move N2000 for 1 Dollar. Remain in your party and vote for any president that has a vision for Nigeria.
