Clergyman Distributes Food Items to Vulnerable Nigerians in Delta
The Founder and General Overseer of Champions for Christ Chapel, Asaba, Delta State, Samuel Akpan-Isong, has distributed food stuffs – including rice, garri, bread, and noodles—as well as cash to hundreds of vulnerable Nigerians.
Beneficiaries included widows, single mothers, the elderly, and unemployed youths, many of whom, he noted, are increasingly unable to cope with the rising living costs.
Speaking during the humanitarian outreach in Asaba, the clergyman urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take urgent, and concrete steps to address worsening hardship across the country, saying Nigeria’s current socio-economic conditions is worsening by the day.
Akpan-Isong accused the Tinubu administration of paying “lip service” to critical national challenges, particularly insecurity, food shortages, and economic instability.
He said the government’s response has failed to match the scale and urgency of the crisis, leaving millions of Nigerians in deepening poverty.
“People are crying. People are hungry. People are suffering and begging for food,” he said, “Many Nigerians appear fine during the day but cry at night. They cannot pay their rent. The middle class is collapsing under the weight of rising prices.”
Akpan -Isong, an international evangelist and prophet of Nations, warned that current economic policies are “oppressive to the common man,” arguing that the soaring cost of goods and services have eroded livelihoods nationwide.
He called on the President to “redeem his image” by prioritising policies that directly lower the cost of living and restore public confidence.
Akpan-Isong also urged the President “not to lock his gates against the poor,” stressing the need for inclusive governance that reflects the struggles of everyday Nigerians.
He further called for the appointment of “honest and capable individuals” into key positions, saying that leadership integrity is essential to reversing the country’s downward trend.
“It is time to tell ourselves the truth—Nigeria is in a total mess,” he said. “Mr. President must be honest enough to do the needful and surround himself with people who can help tame this negative situation.”
Aside these, the Pentecostal
preacher also raised issues about Nigeria’s global standing, claiming the country is losing respect among the “committee of nations”.
While directing strong criticism at political leadership, Akpan-Isong also charged religious institutions to play a more active role in national development.
He urged churches not to retreat from civic engagement, but to continue praying for those in authority while advocating for responsible leadership.
“Having the right leaders is the only gateway to stabilising the nation”.
