Pastors Vow to Place Curse on Promoters of Interim Govt

Hundreds of pastors from Rivers State, have vowed to place a curse on promoters of interim government in the country.

The clerics under the aegis of Rivers Pastors Unite for Tinubu  (RPUT) warned the promoters against destabilising the country’s democracy, saying they should either desist from it or face the wrath of God.

The pastors made their position known in a statement issued in Port Harcourt, yesterday, to welcome the president-elect, who visited Rivers for inauguration of project.

The statement, which was signed by their Coordinators, Pastor Sunday Edimeh and founder of One life Bible Church and Pastor Julius Dan of the Apostolic Church of Nigeria, said they remained strong advocates of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidency.

They said contrary to the belief in some quarters, not all pastors worked against the emergence  and victory of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the last election, and explained that as a non-political group, they only interfaced with Tinubu’s structure through the former Osun State Commissioner for Works, Remi Omowaiye.

“We of the Rivers Pastors Unite for Tinubu prayed, worked and campaigned assiduously  with our various church members for the victory of Bola Tinubu. We were blackmailed and called all kinds of names but to God be the glory, our efforts were crowned with Tinubu’s resounding victory.

“Our driving force in supporting Tinubu remains the fact that his pedigree shows he is the right man for the job. Though a Muslim  and married to an RCCG Pastor, none of the presidential candidate has supported and elevated Pastors and men of God as  Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

“Notable amongst those he elevated  are Vice-President (Pastor) Yemi Osinbajo, Pastor Tunde Fowler, ex-Chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FiRS ) Pastor Ben Akabueze, Director-General, Nigeria Budget office among others,” they stated.

While reiterating their strong support for Tinubu’s presidency and assuring him of their support through prayer, they urged him to do all within his power to make Nigeria a better place saying, “Our expectation is high. We toiled day and night here in Rivers for your victory Mr. President-elect. All we need from you is good governance”.
