Jos attacks evidence of failed leadership: Apostle Suleman

General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has questioned the state of leadership in Nigeria following the recent Palm Sunday attack in Jos.
The televangelist, speaking on the current state of insecurity in the nation, said that leadership in the country has failed in its primary responsibility to protect citizens, instead focusing on pre-election campaigns and second-term ambitions.
“Leadership that prioritizes politics over protection of lives. Choosing rather to waste our collective patrimony in pre-election jamboree and pre-coronation plans. Posterity will judge a leadership that now emboldens, enables, and replicates what it once vehemently condemned,” Mr Suleman said on Monday via a post on X handle titled “Jos attack is another evidence of failed leadership.
Mr Suleman added that it’s time for the nation’s leaders to take full responsibility, stressing that prayers are important but cannot replace accountability.
“I believe in the power of prayers, but prayers won’t replace responsibility. We need humane leaders; these current folks have zero affiliation with empathy. We are tired. It’s depressingly exhausting.”
The cleric expressed his grief with the families affected by the attacks, offering prayers for strength in their losses.
He criticised supporters of failed leaders in the country who stand up to defend nonsense and should at least sound smart while doing so.
“We stand with the families who lost loved ones and pray for fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
“And for those who will engage this tweet to support failed leadership for the crumbs they offer you, please show your irritation via good grammar.
So even if I am irritated by your intentional delusion, I would be encouraged by your mastery of words. AJS.”
The Gari Ya Waye community in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, came under violent attack on Palm Sunday, as unknown gunmen killed men and women in the community, leaving others injured.
The state government has imposed a 48-hour curfew following the deadly incident, which took effect from March 29 to April 1, 2026, but it was violated as residents came out in large numbers to protest the resurgence of insecurity in the state, demanding justice and proper leadership.
