Renowned cleric and retired
General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (worldwide), Prophet Samuel
Abiara has described as insulting to the military, the recent calls by some
citizens for Nigerians to defend themselves.
He stated this at the
thanksgiving service for his retirement as CAC general evangelist, and his
recent marriage to Lady Evangelist Grace, held at CAC, Agbala Itura
headquarters, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Sunday.
The cleric was apparently
reacting to a recent call by former Minister for Defence, General Theophilus
Danjuma, who asked Nigerians to defend themselves before they all die.
According to Danjume, Nigerians
should defend themselves against ethnic cleansing.
However, Abiara, who now heads
the Christ Apostolic Church, Agbala Itura while speaking with newsmen shortly
after the event, expressed sadness at the state of insecurity, but commended
the military and other security operatives for their efforts.
He noted, however, that “It’s an
insult to the military to ask people to defend themselves, especially as many
ordinary Nigerians don’t even own guns or have police escorts or security
operatives guarding them specially. Although, in all honesty, security
operatives are trying, the government must also put in more efforts to ensure
security.”
Speaking on the decision to
remarry, he said: “I really thank God. It is the will of God and I can say God
gave her to me. She has the spirit of God; she’s an educationist.”

TY Danjuma is one of d most corrupt Nigerians living today. Everything is politics. He only wanted his voice added to OBJ to prevent PMB from contesting. But he didn't want to be a 'letter writer' like his oga OBJ. But three of them (OBJ, IBB & TY) have d same agenda. What baffles me is dat ALL these men have unfettered access to PMB any time any day to offer useful advice on ways if solving these problems. Why do they all choose d path of media to attack PMB? After all they are retired military men who once directed d affairs of Nigeria. They want to score cheap points.
