Festus Keyamo, the spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, has condemned Christian leaders for meddling in the affairs of the party.

Keyamo, while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, urged Christian leaders to concentrate on ‘soul winning’ rather than dabbling into politics.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) was responding to the position of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) on the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of the APC.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, are both Muslims — a development that has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians, especially the Christian community.

The PFN had on Sunday said it had no affiliation with the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria whose members met with Tinubu on Friday in Abuja.

The Deputy National Secretary of the PFN, Bishop David Bakare, had in an interview with The Cable, had maintained that the opposition of the PFN, an arm of the Christian Association of Nigeria, on the same-faith presidential ticket of the APC had not changed.

But Keyamo who was visibly livid queried: “Is the PFN or CAN a member or structure of APC? The vice presidential candidate is a decision of our party leaders.”

He added, “The PFN are not members of our party, they should not be coming to question the decision of our party publicly. The duty of pastors is to lead people to heaven, not to lead people to Villa [the seat of power in Nigria].

“They are not called by God to lead people to the Villa. If I go to church every Sunday, I want to hear the sermon of God, I don’t want to hear the sermon of politics or who should rule me.

“It is our party’s decision. These external bodies are not part of us. If they want to take part in the decision-making process, they can as well come and join the political party. But they cannot stay outside and dictate to us how to conduct our affairs.

“If it is so offensive to certain persons, there is no need for the noise. They have options.

“They are called by God to lead to heaven. If I go to Church every Sunday, I want to hear the sermon of God, not the sermon of politics on who should rule me. I want to listen to them talk about salvation, not villa.”

Lawyers' job is to foster good governance and declare war on insecurity, corruption and bad governance with fairness and justice. Not imposing crime and promoting corrupt people.

Guterman was right after all to say that this self acclaimed SAN is "Empty head dunce"

The prophets of old played crucial rules in electing kings to Israelites, infact without the prophet no king can be chosen. Those days is not different from today. So be it Pope , cardinal, Apostle , bishop, Reverend, Pastor or whatever religious title the person hold, such person has every right , authority, power, to choose the acceptable leader that is accepted in spiritual realm to the people.

This self acclaimed SAN will continue to be fóolish till the end of time...each day that passes by, he shows the world how foolish and myopic he is.

Festus may cause more harm than good to his party through these utterances. If he was to be a pastor, considering what the Muslim presidency has done to the body of Christ in past eight years, would he still encourage his members to support the same political party with now Muslim/Muslim ticket?

.

Very laughable to hear Tinubu claim that the choice of Shettima was out of competence & not religiosity.
So there is no competent Christian in the North?
&Would he have still chosen Shettima if he, Shettima was a Christian?

The ancestor bat is the one that generated the religious bad blood with his satanic Mu-Mu ticket & so he should not complain if pastors sensitise their members on its dangers.

Keyamo is high on something more than loud.


This man sees everything as politics.


Pastors, doctors, engineers, teachers, traders should stay away from politics??

A lawyer can't in all his wisdom interpret section two of Nigerian constitution which states that "power lies with the people".

Sorry for urchins anyway. They sold their sanity just like the vulture griller sold his sanity to his "darling daddy".

Wicked APC

Meanwhile, Nigerian youths will be marching on the streets of Lagos and other cities on October 1st in support of Obi-Datti.

Let's say No to bad governance, corruption, insecurity, inflation, unemployment, killings, kidnapping etc.

A better Nigeria is possible
A New Nigeria is coming

Remember, Nigerian youths are contesting for presidency through Obi-Datti.

Please without insult can you tell me the role of the prophet in choosing kings in the bible with example. What I know is that God singlehandedly chose King and only ask prophet to anoint after chosen.

We need to first of all enjoy the heaven on Earth, before we enjoy the one in the after life. And it is only when the right leader is elected that we can enjoy the one on Earth.

So anyone they're campaigning against will not give them heaven on Earth.

But you have answered yourself na. In bible times, only 2 personalities mattered in the coronation of a government. God and the prophet. The point here being that a prophet/religious leader of any faith is not limited to the message of salvation.

God speaks through the prophets. A lot of examples abound in the bible. Read the book of first and second Samual, book of Kings and Chronicles. He won't spoon feed you. Don't be lazy. You can easily browse it online.
