Veteran musician Eedris
Abdulkareem has responded to a statement by Apostle Johnson Suleman, Senior Pastor
of Omega Fire Ministries on protest against Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Some members of the Creative
Group Industry led by Eedris Abdulkareem on Monday staged a peaceful protest to
the Redemption Camp, Lagos -Ibadan Expressway, to make some demands from the
General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to speak up on some developments
affecting the masses in the country.
The protesters in their hundreds,
included maverick Nigerian entertainer and activist, Charles Oputa, popularly
called Charly Boy, Michael Parish, Idris Abdulkareem, Baba Fryo and a couple of
other upcoming artists.
Suleman countered their claim
that Pastor Adeboye was quiet about happenings in the country and release of
Leah Sharibu, noting that he had asked Nigerians to pray about the situation.
However, Eedris Abdulkareem, who
was among the protesters, took to Instagram page on Tuesday morning attacking
Apostle Suleman.
He queried why Suleman did not
pray for Stephanie Otobo who accused him of sleeping with her, rather he
reported the case to the police.
According to him, a man of God
must not only pray but speak out against injustice.
He wrote: “Dear Apostle Suleiman,
are you aware that Leah Sharibu has been under captivity for FIVE HUNDRED AND
ONE DAYS? 501 DAYS….YES.
“Let me ask you why you did not
pray to God when Stephanie Otobo accused you. Instead you went to the police.
Why did you speak up against her and now ask us to be silent while our people
are killed daily?
“I remember Pa Adeboye praying
for Buhari. Why did he not also refuse to pray for him then. What is this
hypocrisy that we like to dey embrace for Nigeria?
“All I am saying is this: Keep
praying but also speak up? It costs all of you nothing. The Bible says Faith
without works is dead. I am not a pastor yes I know this.
“If you as a man of God cannot
join me to condemn the atrocities that are currently going on. If you as a man
of God cannot condemn with your mouth (I no talk say make you carry gun or make
you fight). Then the God that you serve and the one that hates injustice are
not the same.
“Na me Eedris Abdulkareem talk
am! Peace and Love always.”
