The National President of the group, Rev. Phrank Ochiga, said these in a statement made available to Legit.ng on Monday, August 12.
The group alleged that Kayri’s tenure has been marked by controversy, including subsidy scams, importation of substandard petroleum products, and mismanagement of the Port Harcourt Refinery.
Ochiga quoted Psalm 82:4, saying "Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." He added that Kyari is the wicked one, and it's time for him to go.
“The current situation has led to untold hardship on Nigerians, who are forced to buy fuel for over 1,000 Naira per litre.
“This is nothing short of economic terrorism, and Kyari is the mastermind behind this evil plot. He has shown no empathy, no compassion, and no willingness to solve the problem.
“Instead, he has continued to enrich himself and his cronies at the expense of the suffering masses.”
The group warned that Nigeria will witness the worst protests in the days ahead if Kyari does not resign or is not sacked by the authorities concerned.
