1000 clerics of the Christian
faith stormed Abuja on Thursday for the grand finale of a rally to endorse
President Muhammadu Buhari.
The clerics claim Buhari “is
anointed to lead the country for eight years, and as such, should be given the
necessary support for him to fulfil the prophecy”.
They gathered at the Unity
Fountain, Abuja, under the auspices of the National Inter-Faith and Religious
Organizations for Peace (NIFROP).
They urged Nigerians not to
disrupt the flow of God’s blessing to the land, but support Buhari’s reelection
bid, so he could “continue running the errand God has sent him”.
Speaking at the rally, Bishop
Sunday Garuba, National President of NIFROP, said: “Before NIFROP announced
today’s rally sometime last week, we had been led by the spirit to hold forty
days of fasting and prayer. In the course of this exercise, undertaken on
behalf of the nation, it was revealed to us that President Buhari is God’s
anointed to lead Nigeria to greater heights.
“As you can see, we are more than
1,000 clerics across faiths and denominations. We are apolitical and only
delivered this message concerning President Buhari for it what our maker has
collectively instructed us to do and we cannot do otherwise, lest we attract
wrath unto ourselves.
“The unison of 1,000 clerics of
diverse faiths is something that should prick the interest of Nigerians. But it
is not a phenomenon for which we should waste time seeking answers. The
leadership style of President Buhari as defender of all faiths, ordained to
save our religions, is the source of the newfound cohesion that has toned down
the tendency for religion to be the source of strife among communities. The
naysayers may argue it but Nigeria is on the way to recording fewer and fewer
instances of sectarian strife until the larger population of Nigeria will enjoy
the kind of cordial relations we have at NIFROP.
“Fortunately, this godly touch is
manifesting in other facets of our national life. The corruption that used to
be the trademark of Nigeria is now being recognized as an abomination to our
creator, something that has been made possible by President Buhari. We are
aware that there are those now seeking to return Nigeria to Egypt, back to the
days when corruption and theft of public funds was the order of the day.
“We stand on the revelation given
to us by God to declare that as He decreed, so shall it be. We on this note
appeal to the electorate to ward off evil from Nigeria by aligning with God’s
will by voting President Buhari to continue with the work that has been
entrusted to him.
“We are aware that the opposition
has been making false claims to present themselves as the ones destined to take
Nigeria to a greater height and that they can liberate Nigerians but we know
this for what it is. Lies of the devil! They are known to the Bible as it is
stated in 2 Peter 2:19 that ‘They promise (Nigerians) them freedom, but they
themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that
he is enslaved’. Nigerians must therefore take heed lest they fall the lying
tongue that is intent on misleading them to reject God’s choice for them.”

These are not God's anointed. I hope they would not meet empty Church as from tomorrow, Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely not Pastors.
ReplyDeleteLet them collect their money and go. They need to quench their hunger
ReplyDeleteThey were not sent by God, they send themselves. Leah Sharibu has not regain her freedom and they didn't fast and pray for fortydays for her, but when it comes to the time of the greatest and cruel dictator like Buhari, they gather themselves. The journalist that was arrested, by the dictator is still in prison. I sorry for those using God to deceive themselves. They will receive the full wrought of their actions
ReplyDeleteoh! what a ...shame 4man kind..
