Founder of the One Love Family, Sat Guru Maharaj, has urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to establish new ministries to tackle economic challenges.
In a statement released on Friday, Guru Maharaj called for the creation of the Ministry of Strategic Communications and Economic Development and Social Welfare.
According to him, the proposed Ministry of Strategic Communications and Social Welfare should be responsible for monitoring members of the Renewed Hope team to ensure their alignment with President Tinubu’s policies.
Expressing his concerns, Guru Maharaj criticized Vice President Kashim Shettima for allegedly opposing the Tax Reform Project.
He accused Shettima of speaking in a “treacherous tongue” when the reform was initially introduced by President Tinubu, suggesting that the Vice President advocated for the policy to be relaxed.
The spiritual leader emphasized that as Vice President, Shettima should demonstrate loyalty by supporting and aligning with the President’s decisions rather than creating divisions within the presidency.
“I call for Kashim Shettima’s statement against Mr. President’s Tax Reform Policy to be revisited and analyzed beyond sentiments and emotions,” he stated.
Guru Maharaj further warned that at this critical stage in Nigeria’s development, having a Vice President who acts in discord with the President could be dangerous.
“We need to know where Kashim Shettima stands! On whose side is he?” he questioned.
He likened the situation to past leadership struggles in Nigeria, referencing events during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure, and warning that such disunity could hinder the nation’s progress.
