Bishop David Oyedepo Reportedly Tells President Buhari To Resign And Leave Office...
According to reports from Punch;
With this development, Oyedepo has joined other notable clerics, including the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church, Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan; and a former Archbishop of the Catholic Church in Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie – who have asked Buhari to quit his position over failure to secure the lives of Nigerians.
The cleric told his congregation that although he was not partisan, he would not be alive and not talk about the massacre of Nigerians, especially in the Middle Belt, by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Speaking on the theme, “Enough is enough,” he said,
“When I was talking in 2015, people were saying my own was too much, now everybody can see what’s happening. What has moved forward in anybody’s life? You don’t know it’s war. Why are they attacking the Christian communities? Why has nobody been arrested? I can tell you this, the authorities and the powers that be are behind them.
“I will never be partisan; Jesus got me out of it in 1984. But I will not be alive to see innocent people massacred.
“We must wake up and push this evil back. Not one of those so-called herdsmen – they are jihadists – has been brought to book till date.
“Herdsmen don’t shoot; they have been here all along. They are just taking cover under the herdsmen to assault innocent citizens.
“They wake up in the night and slice innocent children to pieces. Yet, you have a government in place. What!
“The most honorable thing for any non-performing leader to do is to resign.
“The most honorable thing is to resign. That’s my own for Mr. President. Resign! Get out of office!
