Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele
has said that Nigeria will never know peace due to the gruesome murder of
Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.
Balewa was the first prime
minister in Nigeria but was assassinated in the first coup in January, 1966 by
Igbo-dominated coup plotters.
Vanguard reports that the
religious cleric said that Nigeria was going through problem due to the curse
of killing the innocent man and warned that until prayers are rendered, the
curse will remain.
Ayodele said he was not bothered
when people call him fake as he has said many things in the past that came to
pass.
He also called on President
Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to med their differences as the All
Progressives Congress would split if they fight which will give way to the
Peoples Democratic Party.
He also called on Governor Adams
Oshiomhole to be prayerful so that the Edo governor-elect, Godwin Obaseki would
not give him problems.
He said:“The bloodshed and
challenges faced by the Buhari government to make Nigeria better are
unfortunate, but the blood of the unjustly slain Nigeria’s first and only Prime
Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa is haunting Nigeria.
“The murder has placed a curse on
Nigeria and that is why as much as the current government appears to be
transparent and sincere people complain.
What Nigeria needs now is serious
prayers; all religious groups in Nigeria should come together and pray in their
respective ways for the curse placed on Nigeria by the gruesome murder of the
innocent Tafawa Balewa to be removed.”
The cleric took it hard on men of
God across the country over their seeming silence as Christians are reportedly
facing persecution in the country.
He specifically mentioned the
Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Bishop David
Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church and William Kumuyi of the Deeper Life
Ministry of keeping quiet while Christians are facing tough times in the country.
