Apostle Johnson Suleman, founder of Omega Fire Ministries, has strongly condemned the recent deadly attack in Jos, laying blame squarely at the feet of Nigeria’s political leadership.
In a post shared across his social media platforms, the prominent clergyman argued that the tragedy is a direct consequence of leaders who consistently place partisan interests above the protection of ordinary citizens.
“Jos attack is another sign that leadership is failing,” he wrote, describing a system he says prioritizes politics over human lives.
Suleman took particular aim at what he called reckless spending on political activities, warning that history would judge today’s leaders harshly. He suggested that those now in power are repeating the very failures they once publicly opposed, squandering national resources on pre-election events rather than addressing the country’s deepening security crisis.
While affirming his faith in the power of prayer, the cleric was unequivocal that spiritual intervention cannot substitute for accountable governance. “Prayers alone cannot take the place of responsibility. We need compassionate leaders. These current individuals show no sign of empathy. We’re exhausted — it’s incredibly draining,” he stated.
The apostle also extended his condolences to victims and bereaved families, saying his congregation stands in solidarity with all those grappling with the pain of sudden loss.
The Jos attack is the latest in a series of violent incidents that have continued to rock Plateau State, reigniting public debate over the federal government’s handling of security across Nigeria’s troubled Middle Belt region.
