They’ll say no religion and partisan politics don’t mix but they are never contented with who will rule them. GSM is saying everybody must control their destiny or someone else will

“And now, I don’t even know if it is the will of God for me to even seek or push out for a second tenure.

I agree with him.

I don't know where Christians got the idea that they should not get involved in politics when in fact in proverbs 29:2 it says "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.'

There is nowhere it is stated that religion and politics do not mix.
It was a decision by the founding fathers of USA to fight against the machination of the citizens by the government of Great Britain in collaboration with the church. How did this get imported into Nigerian society or people just like to mouth off on what they don't understand?
What's next? I hear Nigerian law enforcement officers saying the Miranda right to suspects. I believe Nigerians copy what they don't understand. Do they provide free legal services to suspects who cannot afford lawyers as noted in the speech?

These miracle money pastors corrupt past politicians, what we need is highly educated and intelligent people in government, not land and money grabbers.
