The Vice-Presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has said
that his emergence as the running mate of a former
Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, should
not discourage President Goodluck Jonathan from
worshipping at the Redeemed Christian Church of
God’s Redemption Camp.
In a statement posted on his official Twitter handle,
Osinbajo, who is also the presiding pastor of the RCCG
Olive Tree Parish, Banana Island, Lagos, said he would
be willing to receive the President whenever he
chooses to visit the Redemption Camp before the
elections.
“The reason why I function as a pastor is because I
want to touch as many lives as I can. The church must
be without walls. It must be out there touching lives.
“And, of course, if the President chooses to worship in
our church, I will welcome him. That is not certainly
an endorsement,” he tweeted.
He carpeted Peoples Democratic Party for always
blaming the Boko Haram insurgency on APC leaders,
adding that it was worrisome that the ruling party had
preoccupied itself with the labeling of Buhari as an
Islamic fundamentalist.
Noting that it was wrong to blame the opposition for
the insurgency, Osinbajo said none of Buhari’s
antecedents pointed to an iota of fundamentalism.
“If you look at history, nobody ever accused Buhari of
being a fundamentalist. Not until about five years ago.
“But look at his antecedents: his first daughter is
married to a Christian and all of that. This does not
point to fundamentalism.
“So long as they do not call anybody to violence,
frankly I do not see how anybody saying he would
form a parallel government incites.
“What is inciting is where government makes
statements that lead to division. Insurgency is one
menace which requires the Commander-in-Chief to
lead from the front. We (APC) certainly will not be
blaming the PDP for insurgency. You try to solve it.
You try to galvanise the whole nation to stand by you,”
he said.
The cleric-turned politician expressed concern that the
privatisation of the power sector had yet to make
meaningful impact on the economy.
The epileptic power supply being witnessed in many
parts of the country, he argued, was responsible for the
inability of many small businesses to thrive.
He added that the challenges facing the nation were
beyond the dwindling oil prices, adding that the
management of the country’s rich material and human
resources was critical.
“What we need to do is to have a one-stop shop for
approvals, for power generation in this country.
Privatisation is a very important step. But you must
privatise the whole bit, not in pieces.
“Besides, we have had, for five years consistently, the
highest prices of oil. After those five years, see where
we are today,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Director of Media and Publicity of the
Jonathan’s Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-
Kayode, has said he would do everything possible to
“stop” Buhari from becoming President.
The former minister of aviation argued that asking
Buhari to preside over the affairs of Nigeria was like
asking the “wolf to protect the little red riding hood.”
“December 31, 2014 marked the 31st anniversary of
Buhari’s 1983 Coup. He truncated democracy. Today,
the same Buhari wants to be democratically elected.
“By the grace and power of the living God, and the will
of the Nigerian people, we will stop him. This nation is
moving forward and not backwards,” Fani-Kayode
wrote in separate messages posted on his Facebook
and Twitter pages.
The Presidency on Monday also took a swipe at Buhari
over the controversy surrounding his original
certificates, which the ex-general claimed were in the
custody of the Nigerian Army.
Special Assistant to the President on New Media, Reno
Omokri, challenged Buhari to emulate Jonathan by
furnishing the Independent National Electoral
Commission with copies of his original certificates
“Jonathan submitted his PhD certificate to INEC in a
show of transparency. God is Jonathan’s god-father,
not a ‘Chicago certificate’ described by many as
having the worst corruption cases in the country. Can
your candidate say that?” Omokri wrote on Twitter.
According to Omokri, unlike Buhari who took power
“by force,” Jonathan became President through the
mandate of the people.
“Even when power was within his reach, in 2010,
Jonathan did not take it, but waited for God to elevate
him,” the presidential aide added www.babawalexy9ja.com/2015/01/jonathan-can-still-worshipinrccgyemi.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=facebook&m=1

Ok, o

Bt money is not all. We need a government dat will provide d basic social amenities. GEJ himself said at the redemption camp DAT is has backslide. Now we need a change since GEJ refuse to repent.
