The Planter of Grace and Mercy Prayer Mountain, Worldwide, Prophet Sam Olu-Alo, has said that former United States President Donald Trump’s decision to cut foreign aid to most African countries should not be seen as entirely negative.
Speaking on Sunday at Jesus City, Ibeju-Lekki, during a special service marking the end of a 41-day fast, the cleric noted that while the move might seem unsettling, Trump was acting in his country’s best interest.
Prophet Olu-Alo challenged African leaders to look inwards and develop strategies for self-sufficiency, reducing the continent’s reliance on foreign assistance.
At a time of economic hardship, Prophet Olu-Alo urged Nigerians to make sacrifices for others, stating that giving without expecting rewards opens doors to divine favour.
Supporting the cleric’s message, Senator Bode Olajumoke, who represented Ondo North from 2007 to 2011, said Nigerians must continue to help one another and their communities.
