He said: "Our problem is not the policy of the government but not seeing where the opportunities are. President Buhari or the government is not the problem but disobedience to Allah and Prophet Muhammad. We are no longer depending on Allah, thus we are not getting things right.

"However, relying on Allah does not mean staying at home, expecting monies to miraculously land on your table or pockets without working and striving legitimately."

He called on Nigerians to invest resources to create more wealth instead of engaging in uncontrollable material acquisition.
