Festus Keyamo, Director of Strategic Communications for President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organization has criticised some leaders of religious and tribal groups for straying far into politics.

Keyamo, speaking against some inflammatory statements being made by some clerics, urged the religious leaders to stick to their original role of bridge-builders in the society rather than seeking political power.

The renowned lawyer made the statement in a tweet posted on his official handle condemning some divisive speeches by religious leaders as the country inches to the election in 2019.

This is coming at a time when the founder and presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners’ Chapel, David Oyedepo and the Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry, Enugu Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka criticised Buhari’s administration, prophesying impending doom in the country over killings.

The tweet read: “Instead of sticking to their original role of bridge-builders in society, some leaders of religious & tribal groups have strayed far into politics that they now see themselves as power brokers.

“Let’s remind them of their original role by shunning their hateful political messages.”

True..! but they won't hear

Tested and trusted
2019 sai Baba/Osibanjo

Nigeria there was a country

Mbaka and Oyedepo, take note.

Hopeless religious leader that only hear from naira, pounds sterling, euros and dollars claiming and forming to hear from God

tell them bhiko.

greediness won't allow them. don't be surprised if churches start mandating their members to vote a particular contestant

Does that include the vice President

2015 mbaka supported buhari. he was called a hero, a true man of God, now he is making inflammatory statements because he is against buhari

These people sucks

Why won't they be involved in politics? So they should keep quiet while you people murder Christians ? You lie!

Tell that to Imams at mosques across the North. Xtains leaders are just starting to learn from them.

I know where this fool is heading. So religious leaders esp.the Christains should not talk or condemn all these maiming & killings because it sound offensive to the government of the day.
Let me see how the people of the religion of peace will obey this man because it is obvious he have never read or known about political Islam.

Thatz not possible, religious leaders are part of political system.

Yes it's difficult to keep a balance between their advocacy and political necessities but it will be wrong to leave it to the bad boiz.

Last time I checked,this administration has the highest number of Pastors and Imams or whatever...
Start with the one in the Villa nah.......Baba fryo

PUSSYBBQGRILLS:
Mbaka and Oyedepo, take note.

Muric! a Yoruba islamic terrorist should be WARN!!
