Sir: The Vice President, Prof. Yẹmi Ọṣinbajo, doubles as a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, headed by Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye. The Church has gained the attention of politicians because of its widespread numerous churches throughout Nigeria. Beyond that, Adeboye is more political than many Nigerians know. In those days, he cashed-in on the prevalent belief that the late president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who was elected in 2007, was out to transform Nigeria.
He, therefore, predicted that “Nigeria, evil people shall never rule you again!” Many (probably most) members of his church made it their phone ringing tone for some years, until I called attention to the fact that the worse evil people started with Yar’Adua who started the unjustifiable war against the Boko Haram Islamic sect-community of men, women and children that did not attack anybody until attacked, followed by his deputy, Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan who took undue advantage of his death to truncate rotational presidency and compounded the Boko Haram crisis, leading to catastrophic bombings. Then the current President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) aggravated the war against Boko Haram and adds protection of the Fulani herdsmen terrorists, leading to heightened carnage and economic destruction of Nigeria.
So, which holy people have ruled Nigeria since Adeboye made his prediction many years ago? After GMB and Osinbajo have committed wanton destruction of human lives and economic resources, 2015 till date (September ending, 2019), Osinbajo is now claiming that saboteurs and fifth columnists are responsible for the retrogression of Nigeria. Yet to support the reelection of GMB and Osinbajo, Adeboye predicted that Nigeria’s currency would soon become a hard currency. I take cognizance of how he is politicizing his Pentecostal ministry. Osinbajo said he owed his becoming the Vice-president to Adeboye’s prayers. Nigeria owes the worst carnage and economic destruction to GMB and Osinbajo who aggravated the war against Boko Haram and protection of the Fulani herdsmen terrorists buhari. Buhari doubles himself as the Petroleum Minister and is recovering looted funds without accountability for anything to anybody, only for Osinbajo to be accusing saboteurs.
No conscience! GMB surrounds himself with his fellow self-seeking people: Osinbajo, Ahmed Tinubu, Adams Oshiomhole, Lai Mohammed, Rotimi Amaechi, Ifakayode Ifayemi, Chris Ngige, Samuel Lalong, Festus Keyamo, et al.
Osinbajo has gone from saying that Nigeria would attain greatness in ten years to accusing anonymous saboteurs of being behind the failure of their own government. So, how will the saboteurs allow his ten years prediction to sail through? Omoyele Sowore is accused of insulting GMB. What about GMB perpetrating corruption, carnage and economic destruction of Nigeria? After human judgment, divine judgment will follow, sooner or later. Border closure favours GMB and Osinbajo who fly, not the Economic Community of West Africa or common Nigerians who are stranded due to closure of the borders. Nigeria rulers and their cohorts are too self-centered to know what common people are going through. How can border closure substitute appropriate measures? Arbitrariness is the rule which Nigeria rulers apply to issues political, economic, and religious, leading to the war against Boko Haram, protection of the Fulani herdsmen terrorists, and persecution of the Shiites.
God will punish those responsible for Islamic and Christian imperialisms, insecurities and worsening economic situation in Nigeria. Throughout 2018, GMB kept promising that Leah Sharibu would soon be released. Sometime ago we heard the girl was killed. There is no other way to convince Nigerians that Leah is alive in this world than to get her released and free Nigeria herself from governmental terrorism.
