General Overseer of the Resurrection Praise Ministries for Africa, Arch Bishop Mustapha Benjamin, on Wednesday, warned the All Progressives Congress (APC), its presidential candidate, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari and the party’s National Leader, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to leave the Christians, their leaders and temple of God out of their propaganda and deceit.

Benjamin, who claimed to be issuing the warning on behalf of the Christian groups and their leaders, including the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Apostolic Faith Movement, Southern Christians, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, Bishop David Oyedepo, among others, also warned Governor Rotimi Amaechi to stop his propaganda against the church in Nigeria and Christian leaders as well.

Arch Bishop Benjamin said this at a World Press Conference he addressed at the church, located at the Satellite Town, Lagos, while reacting to a newspaper report that 25,000 pastors and evangelists in the South-West were to hold a special prayer session for Buhari and his running mate, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on Tuesday, at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.

The man of God also frowned at the allegation made by Governor Amaechi that President Goodluck Jonathan bribed Christian leaders across the country with a sum of N6billion.

Speaking at the conference attended by large congregation of the church, Arch Bishop Benjamin said that nothing of such spiritual exercise took place at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, demanding that the APC and their leaders should stop desecrating the temple of God with their campaign propaganda, lies and deceit.

“Everyday, one pastor or another is being called names, that is enough, enough is enough. I carry this message to all Nigerians. Let’s show respect for one another. Do not desecrate our worship centres.

“I stand for all the Christian bodies in Nigeria. What I say today is the position of the Church in Nigeria. Don’t drag us to your propaganda machinery. We won’t accept it, we won’t accept it anymore,” the arch bishop queried.

Arch Bishop Benjamin, while answering a question, contended that giving the poor distribution of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) for the coming elections and the insistence of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to use the card readers, the country would only witness just a free poll, but not a fair and credible exercise.

According to him, the distribution of PVCs by the commission in states of the federation and more especially in the Southern states bothered on alleged collaboration between the INEC and some interest, saying such was not likely to guarantee free, fair and credible election.

He, therefore, suggested that the INEC should allow the use of Temporary Voter Cards (TVCs) for the 2015, while it works towards perfection of electronic voting in 2019 exercise.

TELL THEM LET THEM HEAR, IF NOT GOD WILL STRIKE THEM ONE AFTER THE OTHER

The fact that this pastor is advocating for TVCs instead of PVCs shows he is a PDP pastor, a recipient of a sizeable chunk of the 6billion Naira bribe.

Gmb/PYO...

Pdp pastor shut up and eat ur Ill gotten wealth quietly!

But why would the APC janjaweedian and some islamic fundamentals like vedaxcool go down so low to such extent by telling such expensive and extensive lies against the pastors? Methink whoever is advising them to toe such partway is doing them a greater disadvantage.

Rawani:
I stopped reading once the 'Archbishop' started campaigning against the use of Card reader and lobbying for TVC. Archbishop of PDP Diocese.

We cannot allow our religious institutions to be destroyed by bribery because of the selfish ambitions of one man.

We are resolute. We will vote for change.

Alhaji Rawani, leave our churches alone.

When president GEJ was promising Nigeria of a better life, he never bargained for Boko Haram or Fulani herdsmen's killings/saboteurs.

Let's Picture Nigeria without Boko Haram senseless killings and u will know that we av wasted so much in battling this evil men than facing other challenges.

They said GEJ was too slow to fight back when Boko haram surfaced but they the North was the one making a whole lots of noise that Niger delta boys was treated like a king and Boko Haram boys is been treated like a rogue and their houses burnt down. It took the North several years to admit that their bizarre boys have actually gone out of hand and could not be controlled again.

Too much Challenges in this GEJ administration and he has been solving them calmly. If he sends a Northerner to jail, it will be a war against the North. If he sends southerners to jail, he will be called a prodigal son. Intelligently, he has refused to send ppl to jail, rather creates alternative in blocking those holes this cabals are eaten from.

The case now is that if GEJ block any of this men from stealing, they will abuse him and join APC. We all know how powerful OBJ/saraki/Atiku are in the party/Nigeria, what cabals can be greater than them? Those who believe Nigeria belong to them.

GEJ is up against, Boko Haram, cabals, ethnicity and Religion Hatred. And we his supporters won't give up until he gives them his last fight to liberate Nigeria from their hands. The same ppl who has finished Nigeria are now shouting that GEJ is no good cos he has refused to listen to them.

Believe me. No saints in Government, they are all guilty of the same crime. Don't be deceived by the so called change cos about 70% of this change Agents are from PDP so what are we changing into? Even if Buhari wins, there is no way he can Rule with decree, this same powerful ppl can influence the Senate and Reps against him including the judiciary and he will be frustrated due to his age and state of Health.

The fight to liberate Nigeria has just began with GEJ and I am sure we will get there. Gradually taking another Turn and GEJ is making progress.

What we should be trying to change now is the system of Government and not the government itself. Let's give GEJ another chance to implement the confab reports and change this normal way of circling without any progress. We shouldn't experiment Nigeria with an unrealistic Change. Lybia, Yemen, Egypt, iraq are all suffering from the so called Change now. God bless Nigeria.

Give him his share!

Funny man of God, yes I said it. Sue me! When Jonathan was canvassing votes by church whoring this unknown MOG never made a point to separate God and the State, anyway he should concentrate on helping his followers make heaven and stay out of politics.
What's good for the goose is also good for the gander

I hate when politics is brought to the church.

Both parties should leave churches alone and campaign/propagate their lies elsewhere.

APC and propanganda. Any entity built with lies is bound to fail.
