Omega Fire Ministries has accused Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir
El-Rufai of masterminding the recent series of spurious allegations of
infidelity against its General Overseer, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
In a statement issued in Abuja, the church, through its spokesman and
Communications Manager, Phrank Shaibu stated that facts and available
intelligence incontrovertibly point to the Kaduna Governor as the
mastermind of the allegations.
According to him, El-Rufai decided to sponsor the allegations as a
strategy to silence Apostle Suleiman and to take revenge for the latter’s
famed audacity of standing against the persecution and killing of
Christians in Southern Kaduna.
“It is clear that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is the mastermind of these
allegations. The masquerade has been unveiled and is now dancing naked in
the market Square. We don’t need to look any further for the source of the
smoke”, he stated.
Shaibu contended that apart from the initial suspicion by the church that
the Kaduna Governor may be behind the evil plot, the latest so-called
revelation by one Queen Esther, a supposed usher of the Omega Fire
Ministries finally uncovered the lid as to who was sponsoring the myriad
of allegations against the General Overseer.
“When Festus Keyamo in his first letter to our pastor made allusion to
fulani herdsmen, we dismissed it as a coincidence. Then intelligence
revealed that some persons are lodged in a hotel being trained on how to
clone Apostle’s voice and crop videos.
“The first question that crossed our mind was who was paying the bills,
especially the huge media blitz that has trailed the spurious allegations.
We did not have to wait for long before El-Rufai exposed himself. Indeed,
he could not wait for long before coming out of the closet”, he revealed.
The spokesman wondered why the said Queen Esther, who allegedly pleaded
for the media not to reveal her real identity should give as condition
that the Kaduna State Government must guarantee her safety if the governor
had no hand in the plot.
“Why is the said Queen Esther asking for protection from the Kaduna State
government. Is the government now the police or the Department of State
Services (DSS)? Why did she not mention any other state? Is it not obvious
that she is telling us what her sponsors are willing for Nigerians to
know?” he asked.
Shaibu argued that it was more than a coincidence that these allegations
are coming up no soon after the Senior Pastor had an altercation with the
same Kaduna State Government over the persecution and killing of
Christians in Southern Kaduna.
He therefore urged the security agencies, particularly the DSS to
investigate El-Rufai’s involvement in the unfolding saga, particularly the
possibility that he may be harbouring a private militia.
“Since the governor does not control the police or DSS, the likelihood is
that the governor has a private militia. It is also possible that the so
called fulani herdsmen on rampage in Southern Kaduna are part of his army.
That is why El-Rufai was unsettled by the pastor’s stand against them”, he
declared
