Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that Nigeria needs a deliverer that will catalyze the change the country so desperately needs.
In a Facebook post titled, ‘When cometh our deliverer,’ Fani-Kayode said Nigerians are living in bondage because corruption has been allowed to thrive in the country.
The post read
“I look at Nigeria today and the behaviour of our collective overlords reminds me very much of the behaviour of the pre-Cromwellian “Rump Parliament’’ in England. Can anyone be in any doubt that it is time for us to speak those same words that Oliver Cromwell spoke to the English Parliament on April 20th, 1653 to our leaders here in Nigeria?
“Who will go forth courageously and speak truth to tyranny in the power of the Lord. When will God raise our own deliverer?
“Where is our own Oliver Cromwell or our own biblical Jehu? Where is our Elijah? When will the Jezebels that rule our land be thrown down from the balcony and when will the dogs eat their flesh and drink their blood?
“When will our Ahab be slaughtered in battle? When will the Nigerian people say ‘enough is enough’ and demand the change that they so desperately crave?
“When will they wake up from their accursed slumber and wipe away the faecal mess with which they have been stained, smothered, blinded, deafened and silenced?
“When will the spell that has been placed upon them be finally broken? When will they be free from this unwholesome bondage and be rid of their godless fears?
“When will their shackles be finally broken and when will they see, feel, hear and live again? When, O when, will our people be free and when will they become the pride of Africa that they were destined to be?
In the Nigerian context, the question is this – when will our great stars emerge and when will Nigeria’s time to shine on the world stage come?
“When will the words of Oliver Cromwell find relevance in our space and when will the Lord answer our prayer and deliver us from the evil that plagues our land.”
