Genesis Global Ministries Founder, Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, popularly known as Genesis, has advised Christian leaders to visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso-Rock for a closed door meeting.
Genesis, speaking through his media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi said; “My brothers, and sisters, whether you’re from North, South or West, we need to embrace each others, there’s no need for religious segregation, no Christians should hate Muslims, how can we because of elections and hate ourselves so deep? this is far against the words of God.”
“Many may not understand what I’m trying insinuating, but you and I know better that in the history of Nigeria, there is no Government that has not been fair to the Christian Community in this country, guess we shouldn’t make Christians to hate Muslims as much as we have a political party with a Muslim-Muslim ticket currently treading, which I believe that shouldn’t mean we should crucify ourselves.”
“Instead of our spiritual leaders, clerics, clergy to approach the Presidency for a closed-door meeting just the same way politicians used to do at least for peace and unity amongst ourselves in which I believe taking such steps would have solve the whole Political/Religious brouhaha emanating from every States in this country.”
“I am saying this in the presence of God Almighty the creator of the universe, I Israel Oladele Ogundipe don’t belong to any political party and that is just the truth. Some of these Muslims, when you get to the North especially those governor among them, we read they they’re the highest sponsors of Christian Pilgrims every year till date, and they also give special treatment to those Christians in IDP camps. So why do we have to hate our fellow brothers and sisters?”
“I am speaking boldly without fear or favour from any politicians and again, I will have to put this straight to the general public that I do not receive salary or a dime from the past or present Government or any Politicians to say this but rather expressing my feelings because at this juncture, the truth needs to be told.”
Genesis said he rememberef sometimes in the past when a sitting Northern Governor insisted that he wanted Christians IDPs to stay together with their Muslim counterparts in various designated IDP camps in Maiduguri while some of the General Overseers, so called spiritual leaders felt it wise to separate Christian to avoid frictions between displaced persons dealing with trauma.
“Obviously, some of Nigerian religious leaders are the major problems of this country and not the government. God positioned them in a place to always advise government, guide them in prayers, but instead they’re creating religious mayhem. Enough,” he added.
