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.
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 to condemn the manner
in which the almost 300 Chibok girls were kidnapped?
Did he condemn the manner in which the President
refused to acknowledge that they were kidnapped?
Did Bishop Oyedepo condemn the failure of the
President to rescue the Chibok girls 9 months after
they were kidnapped by the insurgents?
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
