ABUJA—
FORMER Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration over what he alleged as his dismal performance in office and for dividing the country along ethnic and religious lines.

The assertions were made in his resignation letter from the All Progressives Congress, APC.

This came as the former vice-president, ahead of his imminent return to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over the weekend, won the endorsement of the North-East caucus of the party to return to the party.

Meanwhile, contrary to the statement of the APC that it was unaware of the resignation of Atiku from the party, Vanguard gathered that Atiku resigned from the party more than a month ago.

The resignation letter, dated October 18, 2017, was channelled through his ward chairman in Jada 1 Ward, in Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa Sate.

In the letter, Atiku said his decision to quit the ruling party was not about him but about the future of the country as a democratic entity.

Atiku’s resignation letter


He said: “I wish to inform you of my decision to resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in this ward with effect from the date of this letter.

“I am resigning from a party we formed and worked so hard, with fellow compatriots across the country, to place in government.

“I had hope that the APC government will make improvements to the lives of our people and the continued existence and development of Nigeria as one indivisible nation. This hope has now been dashed.

“I am unable to reconcile myself with the dismal performance of the party in government, especially in relation to the continued polarization of our people along ethnic and religious lines, which is threatening our unity more than any other time in the recent past and the unbeatable hardship that our people are currently undergoing.

“As I said in 2006, it is the struggle for democracy, constitutionalism and service to my country and my people that are driving my choice. Let me emphasize again that this is not about me. We have to have a country before people can aspire to lead it.

“While wishing you well, let me express the hope that in the near future, a substantial number of you will join forces with us to once again defeat impunity and restore vision and purpose to the politics of our great country.

“Please accept the assurances of my highest regard.”

Atiku meets North-East PDP

Meanwhile, Atiku has continued to consolidate his grounds in the North-East sequel to what promises to be a tough presidential primary in the party, with some of the presidential aspirants in the PDP that have declared or are yet to declare their aspirations.

On his arrival in Yola, Adamawa State, last Friday, the former vice-president met with the state executive and some local government chairmen of the PDP, during which he intimated them of his resignation from the APC.

A source privy to the meeting told Vanguard that he won the support and encouragement of the PDP chieftains who noted his leading role in bringing the party to the state.

Atiku at the onset of the Fourth Republic, won the governorship election in Adamawa State in 1999 but side-stepped the office to run with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on PDP ticket.

Following his meeting with the Adamawa State exco, the former vice-president on Saturday met with all six state chairmen of the PDP in Yola.

Also present at the meeting was the PDP national vice-chairman, North-East, Ambassador Emmanuel Njwah, during which they were said to have also encouraged him on his imminent return.

The former vice-president, according to sources, is following a script that would lead to his registration in the PDP in his ward preparatory to his presence at the party’s national convention on December 9.

You may not like Atiku..but he has stated the obvious and I don't think having such a polarised leader such as the bigotic bingohari is in the country collective best interest..Atiku might not be the best option but he is a far better than that divisive nepotic bingohari who is not an option come 2019.Someone even his wife acknowledge to be a failure and as such she might not vote for him if things continue that way.

My chest oh..hahahaha
The demons moving him to speak against pastors must be binded and casted out.lol!!

joshnes:
I admire your knowledge base, and I can see that your issue is not the jet but that the money should have been used for the needy. You seem to be a good researcher, have you researched on Pastor Chris & Christ Embassy's efforts to reach out to the needy? Let's leave that aside, you said the money should be used to meet the needy ones, let me ask you how many needy ones have you met their needs? With your little income, how many people's lives have you touched? How many people can point at you and say "this guy has been a blessing to my life" not because of the relationship that exists between you guys but because of your impact. It is easy to point fingers at people, but you, what have you done with the little you have? which needy have you helped? Your moaning reminds me of one of Jesus' disciple who was against a gift given to Jesus. His reason; the gift should have been sold and given to the poor. Sounds familiar? I earnestly desire that you do not end like he did.

Don't mind the hypocrites, Pharisees and saducees..That's exactly how they think..Just like Judas typical mentality..they themselves are stingy and haven't blessed the poor..but will quickly jump to say..that property is too expensive. It should have been sold and given to the poor. Brood of vipers, masqurading behind social media to show a fake concern for the needy they themselves have never helped.

oruma19:
I wish u knew who are talking to. Social media has made anybody with a China fone to talk to comfortable and blessed people. It is only demented and poverty stricken people that u and ur oyedepo etc can deceive. Not educated and blessed people like me. Bleep ur generation. Poverty remains ur case.

You a fucking bastard idiot..I also wish you can yarn all these B.S to my face if you ever had the privilege of meeting me and see if you won't be dealt with squarely. Do you even have an idea of who you are addresing. I am far from been poor that's why giving 10% is not a concern..but you have demostrated your poverty and bankruptcy of mentality by making a big deal of giving 10% tithe. Besides I am at a place in life and have touch what no one in your generation or family can near or touch for ever. Who deceived you chronic illiterate poor jobless bastard that you are educated. Abeg get lost, go and find your mate to yarn nonsense with.

Like I warned you any insult will be replied by a corrosive overdose of the same untill your daft brain is formatted.

oruma19:
oyedepo product. Den of yahoo boys and ritualists paying 10%. Hell awaits u all. Bleep u

You that is already suffering hell on earth obviously as demostrated by your poverty and frustration before moving to your permanent home there in hell. Bleep you and your generation.

All this and that to avoid..
Una never tire..if you like eat small fried rice and chicken and say I am ok when you are not to appear classy.. if the guy or girl dont like you.. all that wont matter.

Stupidity is when you sell Mikel and buy the calamity called Babayoko..

But I thought I dreamt Chelsea won this match 2-1.
It must happen

Pastor Chris can have a private Jet if he wants. I celebrate that addition to his ministry.

The good thing you don't celebrate can NEVER become your portion.Folks don't know that's a strong spiritual law.

When you see good things happening to people, celebrate it and be happy...don't act like the pharisees and saducces who love looking for faults in the anoited of the Lord or people.

ipledge10:
This guy kante have location spell. He always knows where the ball will land

You see why Chelsea had lots of problems when he was absent...

Who was responsible in bring in babayoko into this Chelsea team..that person deserve some flogging..that guy is -1..

oruma19:
[url][/url]its obvious ur problem is frustration. I am not oyedepo and adeboye whose words have become law to foolish pple like u. Nor be me put u for the problem. Mumu, dumb ass. Ahahahahahahaha. Go and read ur bible, olodo!!!

I am super sure I am far more blessed than you that's why giving God 10% of my earnings can never a problem unlike a bastard frustrated idiot like you who is so poor that giving 10% of what you earn is tantamount to increased poverty, that's if you are not even a frustrated useless jobless goat. Get out and get lost.. Bastard animal.Quote me again and reconfirm your confusion and stupidity.

oruma19:
u are either stupid or don't understand English. Did that scripture say "give" or pay? Someone said Abraham gave u are talking rubbish about the %age. Dem suppose use u do sacrifice to the gods they serve. His name is "mammon" ode.

If your brain is not in reverse gear..how is paying and giving tithe not the same. Abeg get out..bastard fucking daft idiot..quote me again on this matter and confirm your stupidity and bankruptcy of mentality.That I have chosen to be a deadly committed tither and support the same..doesn't give you the temerity to yarn nonsense to me since you have never tithed which exactly means your opinion belong in the garbage were it belongs.


One word of insult from you again.you will harvest an overdose of the same in return.Nonsense!!

Atiku isn't my favorite but given the option of choosing between Him and Bingohari.
Atiku will definitely have my vote..we don't want any daft religious and ethnocentric person as our president again.

Lightening:
Still no single bible reference. Smh

If it's important..you can check my previous submissions and see the references supporting my convictions.

afroxyz:
The same spiritual church that told us that the Earth is flat and the center of the cosmos. The same spiritual church that divided the work into two so that Portugal and Spain could colonize the world. The same spiritual church that turned a blind eye during the witch-hunting campaign in Europe. Help yourself Mr Man

You are yarning upside down.Are you ok..which spiritual church are you referring to..because I have no idea.

obatoro:
My dear brother, I've been in the Christian race for more than 40 years and I've written a few books. you can't be telling me any nonsense about devourers.

I give generously and I will continue to give more than your tithe because my God deserves more than mere 10%.He has really blessed me you are the one that should go and carry your bible and study it properly. What you don't know is that the real devourers are your pastors. check out what I wrote about tithe, you will surely learn from it , if you want to.
https://www.nairaland.com/4184887/answers-tihte-questions#62510220

Christian for more than 40years and even written a few books yet arguing 10% tithe, obviously you must be a super fake christian..

""He was called of God in 1981 - So how did u find out that he was called by God

""1983 by Pastor EA Adeboye and anoited Bishop in 1987 by a most revered Man of God who mentored him in the 80s and 90s in person of ArchBishop Benson Idahosa" - Oh his fellow yahoo boys ordained him. I thought maybe u would have told me that God ordained him by himself like Jesus n john the Baptist in the Bible.


As I clearly stated which u fled from addressing, Malachi isn't someone's name, in Hebrew it means the prophets. The whole book of Malachi is a book of rules n regulations for the levites(Pastors n prophets n Priests). Any man of God that reads out malachi 3 vs 10 to his congregation is a very BIG thief n a liar, He will end up in hell for pushing his responsibilities to his gullible members.

The rules of tithing is very clear in Deuteronomy 26 vs 12 and Deuteronomy 14 be 28.

That you have the temerity to address these revered Men of God in this manner reflects the extent of the depravity of your mind towards things of value in the kingdom and such its stupidity for me to dignifying this ignorance and depravity with a further response. So ride on!!

Prv 11:24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

In other wards giving(in church, to the poor, to pastors, to parents) leads to prosperity, stingeness leads to poverty. Is it not what Daddy GO is saying.
When carnal natural man is arguing scriptures with man of God.. you wonder and think just pity him. Oh its not his fault.

PrecisionFx:
""Bishop was only encouraging the brethren"" - pls where n wen did God make oyedepo a Bishop....
Cuz he just opened a church years back n then anointed himself as Bishop.



""(God ordained priest)"" - Can u give me any evidence that God ordained Oyedepo


Meanwhile the whole book of Malachi is a warning for the priests. Malachi 3 vs 10 is a specific warning for Levites, Pastors, Priests etc who fail to bring in up to 10% of their tithe.

Read Deuteronomy 26 vs 12 and then read Deuteronomy 14 vs 28, that's where u will find all the rules of tithing.

Don't be fooled

If you have nothing constructive and insightful on the matter get lost and try to inform your ignorance before you advertise it..Common sense demands that before you villify the man of God you should know a few basic things about him..
He was called of God in 1981 he was ordained and commisioned into church ministry in 1983 by Pastor EA Adeboye and anoited Bishop in 1987 by a most revered Man of God who mentored him in the 80s and 90s in person of ArchBishop Benson Idahosa..I guess that time you possibly werent even born.Oh he is not a God ordained priest..if not that you are a comfirm ignorant person. Who is a priest? How is a priest ordained? What is the function of a priest? How does a priest fit into the 5 fold minstry offices described by paul in the new testament?
Even the demonic forces of hell acknowledge Papa Oyedepo as a sent man of God with undeniable proofs. Oh you dont know. Is not your fault.
like Papa would often say impact is not by title.

mildflame:
Your PAPA OYEDEPO is comforting all of U to HELL..

You are the one in hell so get lost with your irredemable ignorance.

If tithing is commanded by God, then the present church is not obeying it because, you have changed it.

Here’s a list of changes that the Church has unlawfully created for tithing today. None of these changes that we have made are found anywhere in scripture!!
You’ve changed When you give the tithe (Deuteronomy 26:12- The tithe was only given at certain times of the year)

Who you give it to (Nehemiah 10:38- the tithe could only go towards the Levites the poor, or festivals; not towards buildings or pastors)

Where you store it (Nehemiah 10:38 – The tithe could only go into storehouses/silos, not churches). Also, the Israelites only gave a tithe while they were in the promised land. Outside of their land whether in captivity or in the wilderness, they did not tithe.

What you give as a tithe (Deuteronomy 14:22- The tithe only consisted of food and animals)

How it was used for parties and festivals. (Deuteronomy 14:23)
How the tithe is used (The tithe was never used for building construction or maintenance.)
Those not eligible to tithe are the Gentiles, the widows, the fatherless and the poor. Fishermen, cobblers, potters, soldiers, carpenters, tax collectors, laborers who earn wages and all other professions outside farmers and herders. Because tithe was never mone

I like how you cleverly excluded Malachi(concluding chapter of the old testament) were God said his people should return to tithing and stop robbing him and also Hebrews were it was shown how not only the levites who can be intepreted as our modern day pastors are to receive the tithe but Jesus himself receives the tithe in heaven each time it is brought.

Like one of my revered mentors would say if you are looking for scriptures to support your error, you will find one..at the end of the day its a matter of spiritual insight, convictions and choice to do what is commanded..so if you like continue not tithing. When devourers finish with you, you will know how far.

PrecisionFx:
Tithing is biblical, But paying tithe with money is an evil teaching always sold by thieves to steal people's money....

Jesus till his death always shared everything he had with his followers which are the flock, Pastors n Priests today keep telling their flock to bring more n more money...

Pastors n Priests claim that they are Christians (Christ like), But when it comes to helping the flocks, They renegade.

You are either innocently ignorant or deliberately mischievous who know the truth but have chosen to partner with enemy to deceive Gods people on the truth on tithing
Your arguments are flawed.
On what basis have you concluded Pastors are not helping the flock..you mean all pastors..big big lie. In winners chapel we have welfare system through the house fellowship to cater for those members who need help.so get lost with your lies.

Tithe is 10% of one's earnings which most time is in liquid cash..and God commands it to be brought to his storehouse(the church of God)..so get lost with your lies. We know the truth and it is paying us who believe it and practice it.


JC penny, one of the retailing giants tied his succes in business to tithing to God.So tithing is real and it works

hotwax:
Abraham was a giver and not tither. He wasnt buried with his wealth too.

Read Hebrews 7:2
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace.

So dont suffer in ignorance...God help you.
What is Tithe:10% of your earnings.

The folks who don't pay tithe such as the likes of freeze and co should be aware their opinion is garbage and nonsense. Isn't it comic that those who don't pay tithe now have a problem with those who do.Bishop was only encouraging the brethren at Dunamis gospel to continue tithing because God commanded it.

If you don't pay tithe your opinion is nonsense and rubbish and belong to the garbage to those who pay tithe.So we don't need it.
I pay tithe based on strong personal conviction as found in the Bible and have no single regret and I stand not to be corrected..

Hebrew 7:8
And here men(God ordained priest) that die receive tithes; but there he(Jesus Christ) receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

Malachi 3:10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of host,if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it

We see here the Lord God commanding the payment of tithes..so satanic agents should stop talking nonsense and rubbish about tithing ordained by God

So when tithes are paid by a child of God in a God ordained Church to God, in heaven Jesus also receive them..So don't let any confused fake daft confuse you as a Christian on what is commanded by God.


If you don't pay tithe, no problem afterall God is not forcing you, the pastor is not forcing you.When satanic devourers come to strike, You will not know how far because you won't know how your non tithing invited them.

Tithing is biblical and commanded by God as shown by Gods servant Bishop Oyedepo..He was preaching at Dunamis not Winners..while encouraging the brethren to continue the kingdom principles of tithing..so you that have never tithed, what is your problem..Is God forcing you, is Bishop forcing you..Abeg make I hear word.

In his words he said "if you are not a tither you end your journey as a beggar"..I believe him as my prophet and father, moreso..i believe God who commanded it. So your anger and frustration for those who tithe wont make any difference..

For those pious and religious hypocritical christians, you are free to go to heaven like lazarus did after suffering poverty on earth, but I have chosen to enter heaven like Abraham after enjoying kingdom wealth on earth. Make your choice.

Your wife came into your life with the foundational battles from her fathers house.So you have inherited the battles. It aint going to be easy...I think thats why you are experiencing set backs..its such a shame she is worsening matters by refusing to coorperate with your efforts to find deliverance.


Apostle Suleman highlighted 3 key things that shape destiny for good or bad.
1.Who is your pastor
2.Who is your spouse
3.What is your/spouse foundational background inherited from mother and father..

lloyds:
I attend RCCG, but I have to say that Bishop has super extraordinary planning and organisational abilities. If you enter Canaan land, you will see high level clean and organized structures, even the facilities. Every process is in proper order.
He knows how to use money effectively. Nice one.

Nigerian government should learn from Bishop Oyedepo on how to make the most out of resources in their hands not squandering and embezelling the collective patromony of the people.

Ewoooo.....All these white demonic gay stuff.Thunder from heaven fire that gay demon. In jesus name
I heard abominable things from a friend recently.. the husband of a woman...left her with their 2 kids to start following and sleeping with other men.. Na so my mouth open!!

I am sure if Bishop Oyedepo manages the resources of this country..Nigeria will be on par with many European Nations in terms of capacity building and infastructure development and access.

osazsky:
but ur pastor in redeem is the VP and I know u see him every Sunday in Chc just lay ur complains to him and maybe he will use his portion of his loot to fix d road just asking

The VP is not my pastor, ...so be guided on how you spew garbage.

osazsky:
pastor Chris gave 1 billion naira to a state owned universities and build hostels and Lt for d sch. nobody is talking of DAT one

Dont mind them..Those pharisees and saducees who bring up stuff like this are allegic to such news but will rather look for perceived faults of Pastors to propagate. Its their ministry.
