Hardship: Act now, your time is running fast – Anglican Bishop tells Tinubu

The Anglican Bishop of Ikwerre, Most Rev’d Dr. Blessing Enyindah, has asked President Bola Tinubu, to swiftly address the increasing hardship facing Nigerians.

Enyindah said this while delivering a sermon at the funeral service for the late former governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, at Saint Andrews Cathedral Church in Imola, Owo, Ondo State.

He said, “May I, on behalf of Nigerians, pray and call on the President, Senator Bola Tinubu, to do something to reduce the hardship faced by Nigerians.

“We have the hope he would do it because he promised us Renewed Hope, and according to him, it is his turn, so the turn and opportunity have been given to him now.

“We are waiting and expecting the fulfilment of the renewed hope.

“We plead with him to do it fast because time, that is, four or eight years, as the case may be, is brief and the time is running.”
