The National President of the All Christian Leaders and Ministers Forum, Pastor Sam Ogedengbe, has said a Muslim should emerge as the governor of Lagos State, come 2023.

He spoke at the weekend at Abule-Egba, Lagos during the group’s annual convention, thanksgiving and graduation.

Ogedengbe, who is also the General Overseer of Overcomers Pentecostal Prayer Church, Abule Egba, Lagos said without doubt, he was sure the next governor would be a Muslim.

Ogedengbe, the former Senior Special Assistant to the Lagos State Governor on Christian Religion, said he was one of those who clamoured for a Christian governor after the end of Governor Babatunde Fashola’s tenure, which produced ex-Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

He said without being economical with the truth, he and other Christian ministers and leaders would not be ingrates, but would take the necessary line of action by supporting a Muslim governor.

”We Christian leaders and ministers hail administrations in the state since 1999, but we will insist that Sanwo-Olu’s successor should be a Muslim in the interest of justice and equity, ”Ogedengbe said.

Who is stopping pagans from contesting?

WHO made you a leader over us...?

Christians with over 72% of Lagos state would continue to be Govnors and Landlords to Alausa

Kogi
Nassarawa
Adamawa
Kaduna
All their Govnors should be Christians anytime.

Till Nigeria divides.... We die here

another political hireling

Stupid talk.
Well, what do we expect from empty heads.

if the pastor was fair he should have known dat since Muslim and Christian have ruled and are currently rulling d next should be pagan...he should hv mention it

What has this got to do with democracy? Why should we care really, when the most important thing is the impact the Governor has on our lives? Religion is a personal matter. Except for extremists who make life uneasy for those who are not like them, one won't be bothered about such.

The turn by turn mentality is ruining our nation. We're not fielding our best due to such silly considerations.

Very useless thing. Religious bigots will never be welcome in southwest
