PRESIDENT of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor, has taken a swipe on fetish politicians, who have began to trade
in humans parts for diabolical purposes ahead 2015 general elections.
He said such politicians were the ones troubling the peace, progress and
existence of the country, but would soon meet their waterloo.
The cleric made these submissions on Wednesday, at the Thanksgiving
Service for Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s 60 birthday, held at the First Baptist
Church, Warri, Delta State.
He described the challenges of the country as foundational in nature,
wrongly laid by the country’s forefathers, adding that he was sad seeing
educated Nigerians turning to diabolism, in spite of its evil implications.
Speaking on “Thanksgiving,” taken from 2Cor. 9:11-12, he warned
politicians, who were already engaging themselves in burying cows and human
heads in order to win the coming 2015 elections to desist from the act, saying
they have already lost in the elections.
“People are burying cows, human heads because of election. You wey go
school? Wetin dey do you sef? Dem take white chalk, red chalk rub you? You don
lose already. You are troubling Nigeria,” the CAN president stated in pidgin.
Oritsejafor, who prophesied that Uduaghan would spend another 60 years
on earth, God’s willing, said Nigeria was a place, where wicked people do
things with impunity, where “we turn white to black and black to white.”
Perhaps making allusion to the spurious allegation against him over the
aircraft saga in South Africa recently, the former president of the Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), said wicked people in the country usually hung
evil on the necks of the innocent.
He frowned at the hardship many innocent Nigerians were going through,
admonishing the rich to alleviate the suffering among Nigerians.
“There are people suffering for what they did not do. Some are enjoying
what they did not work for. Living a life without God is wickedness,” he
admonished.
Responding, Governor Uduaghan, while giving testimonies about his
diamond jubilee, said his testimonies were numerous, but could only be
summarised in the song of ace gospel singer, Frank Edwards, “Lord You Reign.”
Dignitaries at the occasion included Dr Olu Falae, Deputy Governor Amos
Utuama and his wife, Archbishop Goddowell Awomakpa, royal fathers, government
functionaries, musicians and comedians like Alli Baba, Sammy Okposu, Daddy
Showkey, among others.
Meanwhile, Dr Uduaghan on Wednesday, attributed his successes and
preservation in life to the goodness and mercies of God.
Governor Uduaghan observed that but for God’s intervention in the
affairs of his life, would not have been alive to witness the 60 years
celebration.
“Sixty years is not a joke. In the last 60 years, God has lifted me from
nothing to something,” he said, adding, “people have accused me of thanking God
so much, but,I have not thanked Him enough.
“I am a living testimony of thanksgiving, that is why I will continue to
thank God again and again. God lifted me up and given me a new song. I am
stronger than I was 10 years ago, I give God all the praises.
“One secret of getting God’s blessing is to praise God,” he reiterated
