The Bishop That Took To The Street Opens Up On His Reason by Nobody: 8:25am On May 18, 2016 |
PARIS, MAY 17, 2016: (DGW) - A Christian cleric,
Bishop Adeoye Seun, has given reasons behind his
one-man protest match in Oshogbo, the Osun State
capital.
While speaking in Oshogbo to newsmen in Oshogbo
on Tuesday, the cleric said he had to unavoidably
embark on a protest against the recent hike of the
pump price of petrol from N86 to N145 per litre
which has a crushing effect on the common man.
He blamed the recent fuel hike on the gross
insensitivity of the Buhari-led administration and
urge him to heed the plight of ordinary Nigerians
and reverse without delay to the former price.
Said Rt. Rev. Adeoye Seun:
“Nigerians are passing through hell now. People
should see the government as a big father who will
give them solace in time of crisis. But this father is
wielding a big stick against the people.
“This increase in pump price of PMS is uncalled for.
In the last one year, Nigerians have seen increase
in virtually everything apart from their earnings. We
have seen increase in electricity tariff, increase in
bank charges and astronomical increase in food
items.
“Churches in Nigeria today are becoming centres
for distribution of food items and relief materials to
unfortunate Nigerians who had been deceived by
elites in government.
“Those who are telling Nigerians to bear the cost
and allow the new price regime to stand are people
flying over us in their choppers. Even if they call the
price N1,000 they will still buy it.
“I also believe there is a time for everything. There
is a time to speak and a time to keep quiet. For me,
presently in Nigeria, this is a time to speak no
matter whose ox is gored.
“Some may disagree with me on why as a Bishop I
left the pulpit for the streets to express my
dissatisfaction on the current fuel hike from N86 to
N145 by the Federal Government of Nigeria but I
am not bothered about the opinion of men, I am
moved by the Spirit of God to do what I did.
“I cannot do anything otherwise but to obey God.
Indeed, my major resolution during my
enthronement as a Bishop was that I am going to
use the office to fight for the oppressed, to be the
voice for the voiceless and to stand by the
downtrodden.
“The Bible is my code of conduct. If you read
through it you will see that the prophets of old were
more radical in nature. Prophets Jeremiah and John
the Baptist are my role models. Even, our Lord
Jesus Christ took drastic steps when occasion
demands. And if the Jesus is here in Nigeria now,
he will approve my action.
“I cannot afford to be a conformist when people are
hungry and suffering. I cannot keep mute when
leaders who should be concerned about the plights
of the oppressed are living in their comfort rooms
but tell Nigerians to take heart in their plights”.
