Analysing Bishop Oyedepo's Support for GEJ And Sambo's Outburst Against Christians

                        

I was in great Bizarre when Bishop David Oyedepo whom many Nigerians respect so much said in his church some days ago that his members should slaughter any one that "looks like a terrorist".

 What I held onto here his "looks like a terrorist", definitely I support self defense, The question the statement made me ask myself is "What is self defense when the innocent are going to suffer ?.  I still don't understand what our religious leaders gain from involving themselves and going too deep in politics, is their motives for their pocket or for the citizens?  

 Bishop Oyedepo speaking in is 3rd Sunday service of the year on Sunday which was  attended by President Jonathan,he made a comment which I had no second thought than to direct  the comment at President Jonathan “We will open the gates of hell on those who oppose you, when God enthrones you no one can dethrone you” Oyedepo said.

Bishop Oyedepo's support for Jonathan is anchored on the false premise that Buhari is planning to Islamize Nigeria. Ibrahim Babangida registered Nigeria as a member of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). Babangida, Abacha and Abdusalami Abubakar attended the OIC meetings. No president of Nigeria has attended OIC meetings in the last 15 years until late 2014 when President Jonathan attended the meeting. Buhari never attended any OIC meeting and refused to join the OIC even though he was a military Head of State possessing immense powers. The question here now is; How can the same Buhari who never attended the IOC meeting Islamize Nigeria ? A nation that has the checks and balances of the National Assembly and the Judiciary.

I want to believe strongly that Bishop Oyedepo made that comment because he wasn't aware of what Sambo said at the PDP Presidential campaign rally in Jigawa state on January 21st 2015. With President Jonathan present, Sambo said in Hausa "Buhari ya dauko pastor a matsayin mataimakinsa kunsan coci nawa yake dashi? Yanada coci 5000, don haka karku zabesu"meaning; "Buhari has selected a pastor as running mate , do you know how many churches he has? He has 5000 churches, so based on that, don't vote for them".

Sambo went further to mention some names of major leaders under GEJ's administration who are muslims and also gave full detail of his name saying "My name is Namadi which is derived from Namadina, meaning someone from the Medina in Saudi Arabia. Sambo then asked if anyone could claim to be more Muslim than him Namadi Sambo. The he shouted Allahu Akbar (Allah is great) several times. To close his speech, he recited the AlFatiha,(the opening, the first seven verses of the Holy Quran, which for Muslims is the Mother of the Book, highly revered by all).
