Pastor of Flock of Christ Mission International, Warri, Delta State, Bishop Simeon Okah, has advised the 72-year-old All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) to sit down because he is too old.
Bishop, who gave four reasons why Nigerians should not vote for Buhari, said, “At his age, I have the desire and cry for the youth of Nigeria. Buhari will not communicate with these young ones. He will not feel what they feel, I prefer a younger person to him, who is educated.”
His words, “Now Buhari is saying he will fight insurgency, that he will use the army. When he was a general in the army and Head of State, he was not able to handle the army when they staged a coup. Is it not coup that sacked him?
“If he was a general and a commander- in -chief, why did that happen? Not now in a democracy, you know in a democracy, it is difficult when compared to military rule. So in military rule, he was not able to have a grip on the army, Buhari knows in his heart of heart that he cannot,” he added.
Okah asserted: “Thirdly, I cannot trust Buhari. How many times has he said that he would not come back after losing elections in the past, he came back the other day. How can I trust him? I will have difficulty to trust him.”
The cleric stated: “Buhari, whether he accepts it or not, he is religious extremist. If he thinks some of us have forgotten, the other day when he lost election, he said that if he loses election, he will make Nigeria ungovernable, today, North-East is ungovernable. Buhari has to make a confession and he needs to apologize to this country.”
The Bishop said, “I pity my brother, the professor and SAN, Yemi Osinbajo, a senior pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, I don’t think he heard from God, He forgot how Buhari handled Pastor Tunde Bakare, go and sit with Bakare, some things Bakare cannot publicly say, how Buhari dumped him. Do you hear Bakare talk about Buhari. On these four points, I will personally mobilize the youths and the church against Buhari.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteWhen some one attacked GEJ and support Buhari, he is a man of God just like you applaud Rev father Mbaka, when the reverse is the case, then they are devils!. God will judge all of you!.
ReplyDeleteNo amount of propaganda can make majority of Nigerians vote Buhari, If APC likes it let them engaged the best propagandist as consultant especially on media, all their plans shall fail woefully on 14th February, WATCH OUT!!!
Well,do you know meaning of propaganda and who is making propaganda between APC and PDP ? Go and watch NTA by 9;00pm and AIT for you to see assassination of character Jonathan and his saTANic is doing to Buhari.
DeleteThis is absolutely rubbish
ReplyDeleteMen of God are members of the society and are free to comment on national issues. I do not understand the double standard of the opposition in Nigeria. If APC can choose a practicing pastor as Buhari’s running mate suffice it to say that the APC brought the church into partisan politics. Why the complain about personal opinions and prayers of men of God. I am of the the opinion that they are free to express their feelings.
ReplyDeleteStop lying fake bishop. Bakare spoke well about Buhari. You have lost touch with reality. Go and mobilize since that is what your god called you to do. Buhari all the way.
ReplyDeleteThis man is nonsense stupid pastor he is not following the teaching of Bible, bribe turn him to evil pastor, we all know you today u corrupted shame on you nonsense stupid, to you think you can convince to vote for your oga GEJ u are late, either you like it or not we will vote for the old man i think is better than the young one you are talking about because they didn't achieved anything since they begins except killing innocent people we need change you will see in FeBuhari election mad man
ReplyDeletePlz go bak to primary skol to learn 1.how to write a gud sentence, 2.how to stop insulting pple. Every one is entitled to his/her opinion. Make ur own opinion knwn and not resorting to insulting an elder and a man of God.
DeletePreach abt stealing and corruption u ignore to talk about since our president said that.
ReplyDeletemen of God are free to express their opinion just like every other nigerians.
ReplyDeleteAPC supporters are too abusive
ReplyDeleteHow old was Abraham and Sarah when they had a child? Can someone pls preach to the pastors that God's time is the best not age. Are they really men of God? I expect a man of God to preach peace and unity among all tribes and religions not division and chaos.
ReplyDeleteBuhari wants to defy the church by using devilish manipulation to choose a Redeemed pastor as his Vise a position which no Moslem imam will accept therefore this calls for reputable men of God who hear from God and who know Gods mind to speak out. God said that Jonathan will win so anybody fighting Jonantan is fighting God and you can't fight God you will be crushed
ReplyDelete....... 2015 Election.........
ReplyDelete"Are you a Nigerian and a Christian?
Perhaps you’ve received a message via social media warning Nigerian Christians not to vote for APC because it is a Muslim party and has an Islamic agenda? I plead with you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to reject the message. Refuse to be gullible! It’s very painful what we’re doing to ourselves. The level of gullibility among some of us Christians is sickening. My friends, Pastors Nosa Idahosa, Oluwole Adekunle, among others have addressed this subject in some of their posts. Pastor Kumuyi in a message posted on 26th Nov 2014 advised Christians: “2015: Don’t vote based on religion, pick people that will deliver.” In spite of the efforts of these dear men of God, many Nigerian Christians continue to be fed with various media. Even those who know my stand on this issue continue to send this message to me. The greatest disservice Pastor Bosun Emmanuel has done to the Body of Christ is to laden a wonderful message with politics, so that a little leaven has leavened the whole lump. It must be in appreciation of his political message that he was named a member of President Jonathan’s National Confab, which today has become history. Alas, this was after wasting hundreds of millions of Naira on a diversionary jamboree. Let’s set certain records straight so as not to mislead the Body of Christ as we’re currently witnessing. For the umpteenth time please, Nigeria is not a Christian state; she is a secular state. Ours is a democracy, not a theocracy; so God respects our choice. You can’t have political power by engaging in spreading false alarms; you must get involved actively in the process. Vote your conscience. Don't be manipulated. If your pastor/papa/bishop says don't vote for a Muslim, ask him if Daniel served a saint; whether Modeccai did not serve King Ahaseurus and if Joseph was not a prime Minister under Pharaoh. This election is not about North versus South, nor is it Christian versus Muslim. It is about Nigeria and good governance. Don't allow politicians divide us. When they share money, they don't talk about religion. When they want donations from Aliko Dangote, they don't remember he is a Muslim. When they enter an aircraft, they don't ask the religious faith of the pilot. When their bosses are atheists, they don't resign from the job. When an Alhaji gives them contracts, they don't reject it. They and their wives go to Dubai to spend money. Dubai is in United Arab Emirate but they have no problems buying houses in Dubai. But when it comes to politics back home, they say they want to ISLAMISE you. Yet, some of these people were spiritual consultants to Abacha. Vote your Conscience. Vote for Change If you want to vote for Jonathan, vote for him based on your conviction that he has performed in your estimation and not because he is a "Christian". If you want to vote for Buhari, vote for him because you feel disenchanted with Jonathan government, not because he is a Muslim. Say NO to bigotry.
God bless Nigeria.
Vote wisely
It is God that put Jonathan there not man and if any man tries nonsense God himself will deal with that person
ReplyDeleteThe fact is that we (youths) do not want a lying or a certificate faker as a president. The age of the man is not really the main issue. If this criminal enters power, education will be destroyed.
ReplyDeleteBuhari was the gorvernor of old bornu state when OBJ was head of state,he knows that terrain very well and that will help but it alsp means that He could be behind it ,there is something they are hidding.OBJ could not contend with mend,he truned the other side during sharia violence and during then OPC,MOSSOB,MEND,So many ethnic insurgents,but nobody called for OBJ head ,He still won his second tenure,Gowon faught Biafra war for three and half yrs,in fact when it started,Biafra was having upper hand,yet Gowon finished the war,is it becuase GEJ is not a military general,must we have. Millitary in power before we can fight insurgent.I see this as true test of democracy,why not allow it to grow,it will solve this once and for all ,and we have true federalism where all the states will develope at theirvown pace and power.
ReplyDeleteI fully support the man of God. Buhari should go and sleep, he is indeed far too old and illiterate to lead this country of bunch of intellectuals and young people. They talk about change, is it change for the Worse? I can't see Buhari and his old worn out cohort effecting any meaningful change in this country. Grand Pa Buhari, relax, we shall make sure all your retirement benefits get to you.
