APC AND CHRISTIANITY By Pastor Bayo Oladeji by Eldavido1: 5:13am On Jul 31, 2014 |
At the formation stage of the APC, a respected Christian leader from the North, who is a political disciple of General Muhammadu Buhari and a few others asked the chieftains of the new party to let the party pick some Christians as members of the then Interim National Excecutive Committee which was later chairman by Chief Bisi Akande. But they ignored him. They merely made him an ex- officio. Again when the convention was approaching, he ran to these people again to let the party has some of its key officers be Christians from the North, they ignored him. "I told them having many Christians from the North would be a proof that our party is not pro-Boko Haram. But they would not listen to me". The man told me. He wanted to go for the National Secretary, the office was zoned away from his state and when he wanted to contest for another office, they collected his money, screened him but removed his name from the ballot papers! The man roared like a lion and dared the leaders not to allow him contest and see the consequence. They asked General Buhari to stop his boy but the man said, he was asking for his right. One thing led to another, they allowed him to contest and he defeated the so-called consensus candidate that was endorsed. Hear him again, "Do you know what they did again, they positioned themselves by each of the ballot box telling delegates, 'don't vote for...' he is a pastor' But God proved them wrong, I won.'' That is not the end of the story, last week, there was a need for the National Chairman of APC, John Odigie -Oyegun to pay a courtesy call on Cardinal John Onaiyekan in Abuja and they were now asking this party officer to follow them being the only Christian officer of the party from the North. According to an eye witness, the man said, "I would not follow you. When I was asking you to let us have more Christians from the North in the National Working Committee (NWC) you people refused and you almost stopped me too. I am not going" The man did not. I am telling you this to let you know the war genuine Christians in politics are facing. If you are not called to go there by God, steer clear of politics otherwise, they mess you up! Those who want to speak to this man could inbox me. He is my personal friend. I don''t come to FACEBOOK for fun, I know my mandate to be here. Those who are here for other reasons are also free. But they should stop condemn those who are saying what they dare not say. And whether I added you or you added me, you know the way out and if I see you as an obstacle, I would throw you out through the window.

Obiagelli: you should be selected just because you are Christian? God i hate this country. I usually do think every appointment should be strictly base on merit. But over time I came to realise that such is not tenable in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country such as ours. We have to learn to live with such agitation for now until we attain such level of mind development to overcome parochial sentiments. The only factor making PDP appears unbeatable is simply it's all inclusiveness. If other parties can adopt such, maybe then we could have a true opposition. |

Obiagelli: we are definitely not more complex than India, but India practices exactly what we do here. They have an affirmative action that canvases equal or certain % representation in times of central and state government appointments, education and others. The policies applies to particular regions, caste, sex and also religion in India. |
Re: APC AND CHRISTIANITY By Pastor Bayo Oladeji by Nobody: 8:41am On Jul 31, 2014 |
Eldavido1: Reservation in India is the process of setting aside please note affirmative action, also practiced in Canada, britain and many other countries, pls don't confuse that with what we practice here, especially with religion. |

Obiagelli: Don't get me wrong! Each of the countries you mention had more than 50 years of continuous uninterrupted democratic institutions. There is a level of mind development that comes with that which in my opinion nigeria is yet to attain with our nascent democracy. Such agitation is bound to be our lot for the foreseeable future. I don't condone such practices but I feel we could tolerate it for now, atleast for the sake of stability. 1 Like |

Re: APC AND CHRISTIANITY By Pastor Bayo Oladeji by Eldavido1: 9:13am On Jul 31, 2014 |

Obiagelli: you should be selected just because you are Christian? God i hate this country.just like a kid from yobe will be given admission to unity school with a score of 9 and a kid from logos with a score of 200 will be rejected. Some people from that part of the country say it's a good gesture to accommodate them, what stops the good gesture in APC? |
