A Pastor who stands on the fence even on political matters, is a coward. I don't want to be one. Pastors are people who know the truth and must say it.
Howelever, if there's something that is hidden but only God knows that makes the Pastors truth to be half-truth, and then God decides otherwise, that ( I mean all powers, all knowledge) belong to God and His decision is binding on me.
In all the previous attempts of PMB becoming a President , my personal view was in the opposition until 2015 when I had no choice than to say yes because it became clear that, contrary to my bias against him, PMB was far better than GEJ. What was my grouse against PMB then? the draconian and retroactive drug Decree that abruptly terminated the lives of two offenders - Bathlomew Owoh and... I never wanted to overlook that but later I realised that even God punished the entire world for corruption in Gen. 5-6 and that I was only being technically legalistic and at the same time foolishly emotional. When God finally decides on a matter, no technically can save the situation. It can, strangely enough be done retroactively as it happened or proactively as the Israelites were warned in advance before calamity befell them sparing only Noah and his family. On the day of reckoning, to get justice, Law will be blind! So it was when these men were executed! I pitied them as I pitied the those who were killed by the flood!
But the truth must be told, PMB was actually right to punish corruption. I was wrong for following technicalities and morality forgetting that he who must come to equity must come with clean hands. Equity or morality could not avail those drug pushers even if the circumstances of their death were unfortunate. God knew that we were in a very desperate situation then as we are again today and someone must salvage it - it happens to be this God sent Mallam PMB now with a No-nonsense trusted and tested legal luminary Awo-like Pastor Yemi Osinbajo's who sanitised Lagos judiciary by punishing corruption and rewarding honesty. Therefore the combination of Christian and Muslim leadership this time around to fight corruption is not ordinary. It's to let us know that Nigeria is his baby that must not be killed by corruption. It is to let us know that He is not bothered about our hypocrisy, hiding under religion. It is to let us know that He wants to attend to the oppressed majority of Nigerians.
Therefore my analysis of the current situation in Nigeria is that Muoghalu, Sowore, Fela Durotoye and others may be potentials, they will be easily floored because they are politically inexperienced and not yet connected or coordinated enough. And today's Nigeria cannot afford to make that costly mistake. Buhari is the only (that can win) candidate we have for now. Only the upright old brigade can tacle the errors of the mischevious old brigades. I am so disappointed at the statement credited to Gen. Gowon that we should allow corruption to tarry while we continue to strive for a better Nigeria. God Himself did not allow that. He punished corruption and remade the world. Thats what Nigeria needs. God is extending that eBen to our churches today and our church leaders are being careful. The house of God will soon seize to be the haven for thieves in Jesus name.
PMB''s credentials? He has proved himself beyond reproach. All the allegations from religion bigotry, certificate forgery, Jubrin of Sudan, funder of Boko Haram terrorist Group, sponsor of Fulani Herdsmen killings, etc against him have been proved to be false. Rather his deliveries within 3 years in the office that surpassed pdp's 16 years of reign, his bold attack on corruption such thathard currencies were found in soakaways of top military officers, etc are clear evidences that we are making progress.
PMB is the most disciplined military and democratic leader Nigeria has ever produced. and he is the only one for now who has all it takes to frontally confront corruption - the mother of INJUSTICE the has bedeviled this great nation.
When a person is straightforward, he can be accused bit he will always come out better as he will always win his opponents. That's Sai Baba for you. A Muslim with a Christian heart and practice. A man assigned to better Nigeria. The 'small in stature' David that can fight our giant Goliath - Corruption and it's stonr-hearted and shameless agent who have ganged up in a PDP.
Nigeria is in trouble if ATIKU wins. It is now a battle between the people and their gang-up oppressors - I mean powers and principalities in high places, I mean the King of Persia who have held back the common man's prayers -the peasant farmers where I belong, the welders, the pepper grinders, the transporters, the mechanics, hairdressers, barbers, I mean anybody who is struggling to survive. They have held uninterrupted power hostage, road construction, rail lines, aviation, education, I mean all sectors of this nation hostage. Our roles as Christians in destroying this nation even as we pray and sing in tongue awaiting miracles etc must be a disappointment to God.
I cannot hide under the guise of being a pastor and cover what I consider to be true. As at today (it may be another party/candidate tomorrow) only APC by extension, PMB deserves Nigerians vote for progress. I have said my own o. Sai Baba. Long live Nigeria.
