Dissecting Bishop Oyedepo's support for GEJ and Sambo's anti-
christ outburst against churches and Pastor(Prof.) Osinbajo at
the Jigawa State PDP Presidential rally by Bunmi Awoyemi,
Ph.D
I was shocked when a man of God, Bishop David Oyedepo who
I respect so much said in his church some days ago that his
members should slaughter any one that looks like a terrorist.
The key word there is "anyone that looks like." While I am
100% in support of self defense, I abhor tribal profiling and
targeting. When this happens, innocent lives are bound to be
lost. Then in the 3rd service of his Church on Sunday, January
25, 2015, attended by President Jonathan, my dear Bishop
Oyedepo said in a comment directed at President Jonathan
“We will open the gates of hell on those who oppose you.When
God enthrones you no one can dethrone you.”
My Bishop's support of Jonathan is anchored on the false
premise that Buhari is planning to Islamize Nigeria. Nothing
could be further from the truth. IBB not Buhari registered
Nigeria as a member of the Organization of Islamic Conference
(OIC). IBB, Abacha and Abdusalami Abubakar attended OIC
meetings. No President of Nigeria has attended OIC meetings
in the last 15 years until President Jonathan attended an OIC
meeting in late 2014. Buhari never attended any OIC meeting
and refused to join the OIC even though he was a military
Head of State possessing immense powers. How can the same
Buhari now Islamize Nigeria in a democratic setting which has
the checks and balances of the National Assembly and the
Judiciary?
Is my Bishop aware of what happened a few days ago? At the
Presidential campaign rally of GEJ/Sambo in Jigawa state on
January 21st, 2015, in the presence of President Jonathan, Vice
President Namadi Sambo stated in Hausa : "Buhari ya dauko
pastor a matsayin mataimakinsa kunsan coci nawa yake dashi?
Yanada coci 5000, don haka karku zabesu. The translation is -
"Buhari has selected a pastor as his running mate, do you
know how many churches he has? He has 5000 churches, so
based on that, don't vote for them".
My Bishop, Sambo used religious sentiments in his attempt to
divide the country and incite Muslims against Christians.
Sambo also said at the rally that the PDP is the most Islamic
Party in Nigeria because nobody can be more Muslim than
him. He said that his name is Namadi which is a derivative of
Namadina, meaning someone from the Medina in Saudi
Arabia. At the Rally in Jigawa State Sambo also stated that he
goes for the Hajj every year.
My dear Bishop, in Sambo's determination to whip up religious
sentiments and divisions, he stated at the Jigawa state rally
that all the security chiefs in the Jonathan administration are
Muslims and based on that, those alleging that Jonathan is
supportive of Boko Haram are not being fair. He mentioned
the names of some key ministers in the Jonathan
administration including Defence Minister, Aliyu Gusau, NSA,
Sambo Dasuki, Inspector General of Police, Abba whom he
emphasized are all Muslims. He also mentioned all the Muslim
ministers from Kano, including Aminu Wali, Foreign Affairs
Minister and Shekarau, Minister of Education.
Bishop, Sambo then asked if anyone could claim to be more
Muslim than him Namadi Sambo. Then he shouted Allahu
Akbar (Allah is great several times). To close his speech he
recited the AlFatiha, (The Opening, the first seven verses of the
Holy Quran, which for Muslims is the Mother of the Book,
highly revered by all).
My dear Bishop, Sambo's outburst against Christians and
Pastor Osinbajo would not surprise close watchers of political
events in Nigeria but it does reconfirm the outcome of late
General Azazi thorough and extensive investigation of Boko
Haram and in which he concluded that the PDP founded Boko
Haram and finances its terrorist activities.
MY ADVISE TO CHRISTIANS WHO RESPECT BISHOP OYEDEPO
To Christians like me who hold Bishop Oyedepo in great
esteem this is my advise to you;
Don't let any pastor tell you who to vote for. Does Bishop
Oyedepo experience the effects of misgovernance? Bishop is
on 24-hr power generators and he does not even know when
there is power outage. You bear the brunt of misgovernance
daily and you should know that voting GEJ is a guarantee of
another 4 years of no electricity, corruption galore and
insurgency that will claim more lives and disintegrate Nigeria.
Vote based on what you know not on religious or tribal
sentiments!
Currently, 70% of the territory of states like Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa are under the firm control of Boko Haram. This is
the first time this is happening in Nigeria. Boko Haram
bombing and genocide has targeted both Christians and
Muslims, churches, mosques and schools attended by both
Christians and Muslims. Because of Boko Haram's control of
about 5% of Nigeria's territory, Nigeria's map has been
redrawn.
When a bomb goes off in a market place it does not
discriminate between Muslims and Christians. When the village
of the Chief of Defense staff close to Mubi was attacked he did
not rescue his fellow christian villagers but he airlifted his
relatives out of danger and leaving his fellow Christians to be
slaughtered by Boko Haram. The "polithievians,"
"executhieves," "legislooters" and "judishare" officers of
Nigeria have only one religion that unites them and that
religion is stealing and looting with impunity.
How many of the Pastors that are telling you to vote for
Jonathan have children who are unemployed graduates sitting
at home; bear the brunt of insecurity; send their children to
public school; patronize government hospitals like you do or
understand what the members of their religious organizations
go through on a daily basis?
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out when ASUU and ASUP were on
strike twice in 4 years thereby leading to the loss of almost 2
years in the academic calender of Universities and
Polytechnics?
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out when medical doctors went on
strike twice in 4 years leading to the death of millions of
Nigerians.
Has Bishop Oyedepo spoken out against the ongoing strike by
health workers and judicial workers in Nigeria?
All these strikes have to do with the inability of President
Jonathan and the PDP government to abide by industrial
agreements signed after extensive bargaining among stake
holders and their insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians.
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out when 16>19, 5>26 and 7>19 in
the Governors Forum election, Rivers state house of Assembly
and Ekiti State House of Assembly in clear and reckless
violation of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria?
Has Bishop Oyedepo spoken out to condemn the legalized
looting of billions of dollars of Nigeria's money taking place
under the watch of President Jonathan? Did Bishop Oyedepo
speak out to condemn the beating up of a state High Court
judge in Ekiti state by the Chief Thug of Ekiti State, Ayodele
Fayose and his gang of thugs?
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out to condemn the deliberate
flouting of court orders by President Jonathan which has
become like a recurring decimal in his administration?
Let Pastors like Bishop Oyedepo who don't know what their
members are going through or who are unable to feel the
pulse of the masses, stick to what they know how to do best
which is feeding Chist's sheep as Christ commanded them, but
let them stay out of politics. Bishop Oyedepo should not try to
influence Christians to vote for a failed President like Jonathan.
I urge all Christians to vote their conscience to free themselves
from the 16 year bondage of the PDP led administration.
Section 95 (3) of the Electoral Act, states that “places
designated for religious worship, police station and public
offices shall not be used for political campaigns, rallies and
processions or to promote, propagate or attack political
parties, candidates, their political ideologies or programmes.”
Let my darling Bishop note that his actions on the pulpit
violates this law and as a man of God the scripture expects him
to obey the laws of the land. We are to give to Caesar what is
Caesar's and to God what is God's. By Bunmi Awoyemi

More reason to stay with Mallam.
I'm a christian, and I refuse to be brainwashed.

I can't blame him, when you eat from the devils table you got yourself curb thereby from the same table.. they have left serving God and now serve mammon, and they still consider themselves as servants of God, folly is their second name.

Buhari, Babagida, Abacha and Abdulsalam had 16 years as dictators to Islamise Nigeria, they didn't. I wonder how some Nigerians would think it's possible in a Democratic government. Anyway I just hope this election won't be rigged because i see Buhari winning by votes.

Some pple will belive this man haaa

but he did not have the key of wealth? Mumu pple
