The Living Perfect Master and leader of the One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj ji, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to pull the Nigerian economy off the grip of what he called “killer cartels,” in the oil industry and banish them to Snake island.
He also described the concept of zoning and federal character as “prime enemies of Nigeria’s destined progress,”
Maharaj ji made these submissions while addressing journalists at a press conference organised to celebrate the Golden Age Festival (GOLDFEAST 2015 edition), held at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre, Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Wednesday.
He said zoning of public offices was a political practice, which had robbed the country of the ability to build the right political capital, and noted that every man must qualify for any position of leadership he sought to occupy.
While identifying the absence of a nationalist vision and drive as the bane of economic advancement in Nigeria, Maharaj ji called for a thorough overhaul of the operating system of the oil industry to salvage the sector from corruption.
On insecurity and insurgency, the religious leader charged Buhari to address the emerging variant of Boko Haram insurgents operating as cattle herdsmen and recommended the immediate construction of a cattle ranch each in Lagos, Oyo, Enugu, Rivers, Edo, Benue and Kano states.

He also lamented the relegation of traditional rulers to the background of public administration and suggested that seven traditional rulers from each of the six geopolitical zones should be given constitutional roles in the National Assembly.
Maharaj ji, who denounced partisanship in politics, said he was the current custodian of the power that sustained the universe, while also expressing his readiness to support the progress and enhancement of the fortunes of Nigeria and the whole world.
His words: “I will, as such, always give my full divine support to whoever leads Nigeria to the very last minute of his tenure. Divinity is not biased. It is perfectly fair. Maharaj ji never disappoints! My divine presence is for progress of all Nigerians!’’.
Also speaking on the recent leadership crises at the National Assembly, he called on the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, “to step aside and allow the ongoing court process to run its objective course in the interest of the country.”
He recommended the establishment of special anti-corruption courts, saying, “all ex-governors, local government chairmen and other ex-political office holders, who have taken sanctuary in the Senate and elsewhere should be made to leave the offices they occupy to clear themselves at such courts.”Maharaj ji, however, charged the police to review their policies and return officers to wearing blue-coloured uniforms
