Group fingers Oshiomhole for engaging fake clerics for Shettima’s unveiling in desperation to become Tinubu’s campaign DG

… chides ex gov for committing sacrilege against Christians[i][/i]

A socio-cultural group, Edo Patriots Front, has accused former Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, of being behind the recruitment of fake bishops and pastors for the unveiling of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Vice-Presidential candidate and committing sacrilege against Nigerian Christians in his desperation to become the Director General (DG) of former Governor of Lagos State, Sen. Bola Tinubu.

The group, in a statement in Benin City, condemned Oshiomhole for the disingenuous act and urged him to desist from unnecessarily heating up the polity in pursuit of his inordinate ambition.

The statement was signed by President of the group, Mr. Solomon Amadasun and the group’s General Secretary, Miss. Rosemary Omorogbe.

According to them, “The information we have on good authority is that former Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is behind the engagement of the persons who came to parade themselves as a coalition of bishops and pastors at the unveiling of the Vice-Presidential candidate, Sen. Kashim Shettima of the APC in Abuja.

“It is most regrettable that the former governor has descended to such level to allow himself to be involved with such a sacrilegious act, which is an attempt to make mockery of Christians and Christianity in Nigeria.

“This is why we have decided to take this position to state unequivocally that Oshiomhole should not, in his ill-fated desperation to become the DG of Tinubu’s campaign, malign or insult the sensibilities of Nigerian Christians. The viral photos and videos on social media and the reaction by Nigerians are testament to how the charade by Oshiomhole and the APC have fouled the air with their unsightly disrespect of the Christian faith.

“In Edo State, we are raised to respect the sanctity of religion and not deploy it to pursue pecuniary gains. We are well aware of the antics of politicians and how they have over the years deployed religion as a tool to keep the people in perpetual bondage.

“Right-thinking members of the public are aware of the dangers of the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC and have expressed their reservations.

“Even though Christians can be very tolerant, we would not fail to remind Oshiomhole of the wrath of God Almighty. So, he should be guided and not take the tolerance of Nigerian Christians for granted. To be forewarned is to be fore armed.”

Where is the sauce to eat this stew?
