Activist Aisha Yesufu has said religious leaders benefit
from bad governance, adding that the situation helps them “sell cheap miracles
and power points”.
She said this in reaction to a post by the founder and
General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, William Kumuyi,
which warned believers in Christ not to hate those in government.
Kumuyi also spoke against engaging in the destruction of
private and public properties in reaction to the failure by those in power to
deliver on electoral promises.
The clergyman had written, “We teach that if you’re a
genuine believer in Christ, you wouldn’t hate your neighbour. Nor would you
disdain those in power because they appear not to be delivering on electoral
pledges such that you would go on the rampage, destroying government property
or pillaging the public till.
“We teach a linear
life of Christian walk: you can’t be a saint on Sunday and a monster on
Monday.”
Yesufu, who was part of those who led the #EndSARS protests
of October 2020, which ended in the destruction of private and public
properties, slammed religious leaders for their part in the situation of the
country.
She tweeted, “Religious rulers in Nigeria are worse than
political rulers. They keep the people enslaved. They also need bad governance
to sell cheap miracles and power points! Until you free people from the
clutches of their mallams, pastors, dibias, babalawos & boka, nothing will
change.”
