Senior pastor and televangelist, Matthew Ashimolowo, has expressed confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ability to move Nigeria forward, insisting that the country’s challenges go far beyond whoever occupies the presidency.
Speaking in a video that has gained traction online, the 73-year-old cleric said he believes Tinubu is genuinely committed to addressing Nigeria’s problems but warned that lasting change cannot happen without fixing the nation’s faulty systems.

According to Ashimolowo, Nigeria’s struggles are rooted in decades of institutional failures, making it impossible for any leader to achieve meaningful progress without broader reforms.
“I believe we have a president who is ready to fix this nation. I believe he’s seen it all and I believe he is well-intentioned. The system is broken, so you can’t fix the presidency and leave the system untouched,” he said.
The founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) further argued that Nigerians have often focused too much on electing the right leaders while neglecting the need to build strong institutions capable of driving sustainable development.
