Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has offered a unique perspective on the current economic difficulties facing Nigeria, urging citizens to perceive the challenges as a divine test rather than resorting to nationwide protests.

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Dutse on Monday, July 22, Namadi encouraged Nigerians to seek spiritual solutions and divine intervention instead of taking to the streets to express their grievances.

While acknowledging the economic hardship and its impact on the populace, Namadi emphasized that protests alone cannot provide the solutions to the problems.

He stressed that people should turn to God, repent, and seek forgiveness and divine intervention to address the challenges.

The governor's remarks come as many Nigerians are struggling to cope with the economic downturn, which has led to increased calls for protests and demonstrations.

Namadi's approach suggests that seeking divine intervention can be a more effective way to address the problems, rather than relying solely on human efforts.

His words of wisdom aim to inspire Nigerians to adopt a more spiritual approach to finding solutions to the economic hardship.
