Dear friends,
This article is divided into six parts for easier
reading and digestion.
Part 1. The Professor Yemi Osinbajo that I know
Part 2. My main reason for endorsing Buhari/
Osinbajo ticket is because of my personal encounter
with President Goodluck Jonathan
Part 3. Is Gen. Buhari an Islamic fundamentalist?
Part 4. Why I believe President Jonathan is far more
a fundamentalist than Gen. Buhari
Part 5. ‘‘Pastor Sunday how dare you support a
Muslim candidate’’?
Part 6. Reasons why I cannot support Jonathan/
sambo ticket.

Introduction:
To paraphrase the great quotation ‘Plato is my
friend — Aristotle is my friend — but my greatest
friend is the truth’ by Isaac newton. In my words, I
will say ‘Jonathan is my president, Goodluck is a
Christian, but Nigeria is my greatest love’
I would like to appeal to everyone that will see this
article not to be in a hurry to ‘stone’ me, especially
before you finish reading it. This is because I have
seen a lot of emotions, sentiments and prejudices
from the comments that were written under the
article I had earlier posted on my Facebook page.

As a matter of fact, I was not planning to make my
position a public knowledge, but seeing the
reactions and the emotions that any form of support
for Buhari/Osinbajo generates among Christians, I
decided to make my position known at least to
those who see me as a leader in the body of Christ.
Mainly because of the above mentioned quotation
that to me the destiny and future of Nigeria is
paramount to any sentiment.
I therefore believe that I owe it to my friends,
colleges and posterity to explain why I believe the
Buhari/Osinbajo ticket is the life line to the Nigerian
nation right now. Of course you all have the right to
your opinions and you have the right to agree or
disagree, but I think it would be fair for you to hear
my point of view.

From the comments on my Facebook, I can
envisage disappointment and disillusionment in a
lot of my followers as a result of my position, I
might actually be losing some friends and fans as a
result but let’s not forget the words of Isaac newton
‘Plato is my friend— Aristotle is my friend — but my
greatest friend is the truth’ . Therefore I say
‘Jonathan is my president, Goodluck is a Christian,
but Nigeria is my greatest love’
Here we are continuing with part 4 of this 6 part
article.
Part 4. Why I believe President Jonathan is far more
a fundamentalist than Gen. Buhari
Ecclesiastics 10:16-17
16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
and your princes feast in the morning!
17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the
son of nobles,
and your princes feast at the proper time—
For strength and not for drunkenness
‘Plato is my friend— Aristotle is my friend — but my
greatest friend is the truth’. Therefore I say
‘Jonathan is my president, Goodluck is a Christian,
but Nigeria is my greatest love’


I am a pastor and I am happy that we have so many
growing ministries and churches in Nigeria. It is our
pride that Christianity is so popular in our country
and that we have such a freedom of religion.
Dear reader, let’s imagine ourselves as Muslims for
a minute. Let’s assume you are a Muslim and what
you see almost on a weekly basis is that your
president is always flanked by leaders of his religion
in a country where we don’t just have only
Christians. In a diverse country like ours where
Christians and Muslim are mostly on an equal
footing, a Muslim could easily think why should his
President often be surrounded mainly by Christian
leaders? Either he is with the respected leaders of
the Christian association of Nigeria (CAN) or on the
prayer ground of some of the highly regarded and
respected Christian churches. Supposing you are a
Muslim and you see your president in such
situations, is it not understandable for a Muslim to
call him a Christian fundamentalist?
Now let’s imagine that it’s a Muslim president (for
example Gen. Buhari) that is always going from one
mosque to the other always surrounded by various
Muslim groups. I can imagine what kind of
accusations would have been coming from my
Christian brothers and sisters, in which case
Gen.Buhari would not only be accused of been a
fundamentalist, he would also have been accused of
Islamizing Nigeria. But here is a Christian president
doing what we would have called a fundamentalist
act, yet we are accusing Gen. Buhari of been a
fundamentalist when he doesn’t even do such
things.

As a pastor myself, I think it’s a good thing that the
president is doing this. I would be happy if the
president comes to my church too. I think it’s a
good thing that we have that kind of freedom of
worship in Nigeria. But let’s be fair, what would we
actually say If Gen. Buhari is seen doing the same
thing? My point is that we should have a fair play.
Gen. Buhari should be allowed to practice his
religion just as president Jonathan is allowed to
practice his religion. The fundamental principle of
the Christian faith states that we should treat others
like we would like them to treat us.
Matthew 7:12 Therefore, whatever you want men to
do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and
the Prophets.
Most often we don’t want to give a fair treatment to
our fellow countrymen that belong to another
religion.
That is wrong!
It is not fair!!
Our God is first and foremost a God of love!!!
Can someone tell me the last time you saw Gen.
Buhari been flanked by popular leaders of his
religion or kneeling down, praying with his Muslim
clerics in a mosque? No, he makes his faith a
personal affair. This is not the action of a Muslim
fundamentalist! But rather from the actions of
President Jonathan, it is tempting to say he is more
of a fundamentalist than Gen. Buhari.


Now, my Christian brothers and sisters- believe it, I
am a Pastor and am not backsliding. Let’s just be
objective! Put yourself in the shoes of another
Nigerian who is not a Christian, someone who is not
in any way a more inferior Nigerian by our
constitution. Would you deny him the right to have
a Muslim president in his own country just like we
have our Christian president in President Goodluck
Jonathan? How comfortable should a Muslim be to
call himself a Nigerian after seeing that his president
is always with leaders of his Christian religion? How
comfortable will you be to say that this man is still
my president if you were in their shoes? However,
the Muslims in Nigeria have largely been gracious
enough to know and understand that this is freedom
of religion and not to raise too much alarm about it.
But here we are as Christians calling a decent, a
modest Muslim believer a fundamentalist just
because he is serious about his religion, despite his
efforts to keep it private. He is not even the
president yet!

What would we then say if he were to be flaunting
his faith out there just like President Jonathan
does? Please understand me, I am not saying this is
necessarily bad but let’s put ourselves in others
position. That is what objectivity means. That is
what tolerance demands.
It is bigotry, and it is religious nepotism that makes
us think that when it benefits us we have all the
right, but when it comes to others they don’t have
the same right. For us it is acceptable. For us
everything goes, but for others it is not acceptable.
Why should we feel as Christians that we have a
better or greater ownership of the country? Are we
not all citizens of the same country with equal
rights?


Please let us think about the feelings of others who
are fellow Nigerians of different religions who are not
to be blamed that they were born in a non-Christian
home. It could be anyone of us in their position.
Mark 12:31- And the second, like it, is this: ‘You
shall love your neighbor as yourself. ‘There is no
other commandment greater than these.”
The greatest commandment of our Christian religion
demands of us to be considerate of others. My
fellow brothers and sister, let us be Christians not
just in name but also in practice. To love your
neighbor as yourself means we should love the
Muslims and the pagans as we will love our fellow
Christians and even more so we should love them
as much as we love ourselves. That is to say we
should wish for them those things that we wish for
ourselves.
