Dissecting Bishop Oyedepo's Support For GEJ And Sambo's
Anti-christ Outburst Against Churches And Pastor Osinbajo

BY BUNMI AWOYEMIJAN 25, 2015
I was shocked when a man of God, Bishop David Oyedepo
who I respect so much said in his church some days ago that his members should slaughter any one that looks like a
terrorist. The key word there is "anyone that looks like."
While I am 100% in support of self defense, I abhor tribal
profiling and targeting. When this happens, innocent lives are bound to be lost. Then in the 3rd service of his Church on Sunday, January 25, 2015, attended by President Jonathan, my dear Bishop Oyedepo said in a comment directed at President Jonathan “We will open the gates of hell on those who oppose you.When God enthrones you no one can dethrone you”
My Bishop's support of Jonathan is anchored on the false
premise that Buhari is planning to Islamize Nigeria. Nothing
could be further from the truth. IBB not Buhari registered
Nigeria as a member of the Organization of Islamic
Conference (OIC). IBB, Abacha and Abdusalami Abubakar
attended OIC meetings. No President of Nigeria has attended OIC meetings in the last 15 years until President Jonathan attended an OIC meeting in late 2014. Buhari never attended any OIC meeting and refused to join the OIC even though he was a military Head of State possessing immense powers.
How can the same Buhari now Islamize Nigeria in a
democratic setting which has the checks and balances of the National Assembly and the Judiciary?
Is my Bishop aware of what happened a few days ago? At the Presidential campaign rally of GEJ/Sambo in Jigawa state on January 21st, 2015, in the presence of President Jonathan, Vice President Namadi Sambo stated in Hausa : "Buhari ya dauko pastor a matsayin mataimakinsa kunsan coci nawa yake dashi? Yanada coci 5000, don haka karku zabesu. The
translation is - "Buhari has selected a pastor as his running
mate, do you know how many churches he has? He has 5000
churches, so based on that, don't vote for them".
My Bishop, Sambo used religious sentiments in his attempt to
divide the country and incite Muslims against Christians.
Sambo also said at the rally that the PDP is the most Islamic
Party in Nigeria because nobody can be more Muslim than
him. He said that his name is Namadi which is a derivative of
Namadina, meaning someone from the Medina in Saudi
Arabia. At the Rally in Jigawa State Sambo also stated that
he goes for the Hajj every year.
My dear Bishop, in Sambo's determination to whip up
religious sentiments and divisions, he stated at the Jigawa
state rally that all the security chiefs in the Jonathan
administration are Muslims and based on that, those alleging
that Jonathan is supportive of Boko Haram are not being fair.
He mentioned the names of some key ministers in the
Jonathan administration including Defence Minister, Aliyu
Gusau, NSA, Sambo Dasuki, Inspector General of Police, Abba
whom he emphasized are all Muslims. He also mentioned all
the Muslim ministers from Kano, including Aminu Wali,
Foreign Affairs Minister and Shekarau, Minister of Education.
Bishop, Sambo then asked if anyone could claim to be more
Muslim than him Namadi Sambo. Then 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).
My dear Bishop, Sambo's outburst against Christians and
Pastor Osinbajo would not surprise close watchers of
political events in Nigeria but it does reconfirm the outcome
of late General Azazi thorough and extensive investigation of
Boko Haram and in which he concluded that the PDP founded
Boko Haram and finances its terrorist activities.
MY ADVISE TO CHRISTIANS WHO RESPECT BISHOP
OYEDEPO
To Christians like me who hold Bishop Oyedepo in great
esteem this is my advise to you;
Don't let any pastor tell you who to vote for. Does Bishop
Oyedepo experience the effects of misgovernance? Bishop is
on 24-hr power generators and he does not even know when
there is power outage. You bear the brunt of misgovernance
daily and you should know that voting GEJ is a guarantee of
another 4 years of no electricity, corruption galore and
insurgency that will claim more lives and disintegrate
Nigeria. Vote based on what you know not on religious or
tribal sentiments!
Currently, 70% of the territory of states like Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa are under the firm control of Boko Haram. This is
the first time this is happening in Nigeria. Boko Haram
bombing and genocide has targeted both Christians and
Muslims, churches, mosques and schools attended by both
Christians and Muslims. Because of Boko Haram's control of
about 5% of Nigeria's territory, Nigeria's map has been
redrawn.
When a bomb goes off in a market place it does not
discriminate between Muslims and Christians. When the
village of the Chief of Defense staff close to Mubi was
attacked he did not rescue his fellow christian villagers but
he airlifted his relatives out of danger and leaving his fellow
Christians to be slaughtered by Boko Haram. The
"polithievians," "executhieves," "legislooters" and "judishare"
officers of Nigeria have only one religion that unites them and
that religion is stealing and looting with impunity.
How many of the Pastors that are telling you to vote for
Jonathan have children who are unemployed graduates
sitting at home; bear the brunt of insecurity; send their
children to public school; patronize government hospitals like
you do or understand what the members of their religious
organizations go through on a daily basis?
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out when ASUU and ASUP were on
strike twice in 4 years thereby leading to the loss of almost 2
years in the academic calender of Universities and
Polytechnics?
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out to condemn the manner in
which the almost 300 Chibok girls were kidnapped? Did he
condemn the manner in which the President refused to
acknowledge that they were kidnapped? Did Bishop Oyedepo
condemn the failure of the President to rescue the Chibok girls
9 months after they were kidnapped by the insurgents?
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out when medical doctors went on
strike twice in 4 years leading to the death of millions of
Nigerians.
Has Bishop Oyedepo spoken out against the ongoing strike by
health workers and judicial workers in Nigeria?
All these strikes have to do with the inability of President
Jonathan and the PDP government to abide by industrial
agreements signed after extensive bargaining among stake
holders and their insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians.
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out when 16>19, 5>26 and 7>19
in the Governors Forum election, Rivers state house of
Assembly and Ekiti State House of Assembly in clear and
reckless violation of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria?
Has Bishop Oyedepo spoken out to condemn the legalized
looting of billions of dollars of Nigeria's money taking place
under the watch of President Jonathan? Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out to condemn the beating up of a state High Court judge in Ekiti state by the Chief Thug of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose and his gang of thugs?
Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out to condemn the deliberate
flouting of court orders by President Jonathan which has
become like a recurring decimal in his administration?
Let Pastors like Bishop Oyedepo who don't know what their
members are going through or who are unable to feel the
pulse of the masses, stick to what they know how to do best which is feeding Chist's sheep as Christ commanded them, but let them stay out of politics. Bishop Oyedepo should not try to influence Christians to vote for a failed President like Jonathan. I urge all Christians to vote their conscience to free themselves from the 16 year bondage of the PDP led
administration.
Section 95 (3) of the Electoral Act, states that “places
designated for religious worship, police station and public
offices shall not be used for political campaigns, rallies and
processions or to promote, propagate or attack political
parties, candidates, their political ideologies or programmes.”
Let my darling Bishop note that his actions on the pulpit
violates this law and as a man of God the scripture expects
him to obey the laws of the land. We are to give to Caesar
what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.
