Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has described the adultery<\/p>\n
allegation against Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the Omega Power Ministry by
\none Miss Stephanie Otobo as \u201chigh level conspiracy meant to destroy the
\nintegrity of the pastor and silence his critical and principled voice of
\ntruth and dissent in a nation fast becoming a one-party state.”<\/p>\n
He said; \u201cThis was the same way they tried to drag the General Overseer of
\nthe Redeemed Christians Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye
\nin the mud. The whole world was aghast at how they insulted and ridiculed
\nthe highly-revered RCCG General Overseer. But for the outcry from all over
\nthe world, they almost bundled out Pastor Adeboye from his position as RCCG
\nGeneral Overseer and could have even arrested the General Overseer of
\nWinners Chapel, David Oyedepo.”<\/p>\n
In a statement issued on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti by his Special Assistant on
\nPublic Communications and New Media,\u00a0 Lere Olayinka, the governor declared
\nunequivocally that; ” I stand by Apostle Suleiman and other men of God
\nbeing directly or indirectly persecuted by the All Progressives Congress
\n(APC) cabal.”<\/p>\n
The governor said; “their evil plan is to destroy the Church so as to
\nsilence every perceivable strong voice of opposition. And their mode of
\noperation is to take on every vocal, principled, and popular man of God one
\nafter the other.<\/p>\n
“Should it not interest Nigerians and the international community that up
\ntill today, none of those herdsmen that killed thousands of Nigerians in
\nBenue, Enugu, Delta, Ogun, Plateau and Kaduna States have been arrested?
\nEven those arrested in connection with the murder n Abuja-based female
\npastor, Eunice Elisha have been released.”<\/p>\n
Governor Fayose wondered why all the adultery allegations and blackmail
\nagainst Apostle Suleiman surfaced only after he spoke out against the
\nreckless and indiscriminate killing of Christians in Southern Kaduna and
\nhis subsequent encounter with the Department of State Services (DSS).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis, no doubt, is a continuation of the desperate but despicable and
\ncondemnable attempts to destroy opposition and the voices of reason in this
\ncountry so as to subjugate every decent Nigerian and turn the country into
\na banana republic.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter politically subjugating many Nigerians, including a section of the
\nJudiciary that refused to do their bidding; they have now turned on men of
\nGod, this is condemnable,” the governor said.<\/p>\n
Governor Fayose charged the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and
\nother Christian bodies not to stay aloof but to stand up resolutely and
\nspeak out vociferously against what he called \u201corchestrated attempt to
\ndestroy the Church and respected Church leaders in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
He berated those behind the travails of Apostle Suleiman as confirmed
\npolygamists, serial adulterers, and others whose holier-than-thou attitude
\nwas sheer hypocrisy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who has a case against any man of God should swear an oath, proceed
\nto the law court and face the rigours, rather than engage in media trial
\nand character assassination, which have become the hallmark of this
\nadministration.\u201d<\/p>\n
Governor Fayose wondered why the perpetrators of the wicked scheme against
\nApostle Suleiman were not relenting even after the father of the woman
\nmaking the wild allegations had punctured her loathsome and outrageous
\nclaims.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe family of Stephanie Otobo has disclaimed her and her claims. Rather
\nthan own up and recant, those paying for the entire drama are making her to
\nkeep changing and modifying her claims, with\u00a0 they all still collapsed like
\na pack of cards. All other efforts to enlist other blackmailers against
\nthis man of God have likewise collapsed irretrievably.<\/p>\n
\u201cI therefore make bold to say that I stand by Apostle Suleiman. I also call
\non all those who believe in me to do likewise and carry the message abroad.
\nTo me, this plot against Apostle Suleiman is madness carried too far.<\/p>\n
“One wonders why this same resources and vigour with which Apostle Suleiman
\nis being blackmailed\u00a0 have not been deployed into confronting those
\nmurderous herdsmen that are slaughtering Nigerians like animals across the\u00a0country,\u201d Fayose concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
