The
Northern Muslim and Christian faith forum, a Northern Socio-Religious
organization has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to recognize the
contribution of Prophet. T.B Joshua to National development.
This
is as they also called on the Federal government to as a matter of urgency
partner with the Religious Leader for the social economic development of the
country.
A
statement from the group made available to newsmen in Kaduna stated that
Prophet. T.B Joshua is a renowned preacher with followers scattered all over
the globe and his humanitarian gestures are unrivaled in Nigeria.
The
statement jointly signed by the Coordinator Ustaz Bello Gazali and Secretary
General, Yohanna James noted that recently after the earthquake in Ecuador the Prophet
and Emmanuel TV Partners reached out by chartering a cargo plane which carried
20 tons of emergency relief to distressed areas affected by the devastating
earthquake.
The
statement also said “An Israeli rescue and relief organization recognized by
the United Nations, ZAKA had taken cognizance of the numerous other charitable
deeds done by Prophet T.B. Joshua and the Emmanuel TV Team.
Consequently,
ZAKA’s chairman, Rabbi Yehuda Meshi Zahav came to The SCOAN last week and
escorted Prophet T.B. Joshua to Israel to award him for his efforts and to also
invite him to partner with them to advance the work of God in Israel.”
The
Forum therefore said it has become pertinent for Nigeria to recognize the
effort of the Prophet and recognize his achievements for the country. They said
Government also need to take the Prophet serious as his prophecy about food
scarcity in the beginning of the year has come to pass with the attendant
hardship in the country.
The
Forum said many persons that heed the prophecy and went back to the farm
especially in the north are now reaping bountifully, and called on the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to tap his spiritual and economic
wisdom towards moving the country forward.
The
statement also revealed that plans are already on ground for Muslims and
Christians in the north to join hands and honour Prophet T.B. Joshua for his
humanitarian efforts which do not discriminate and urge other Religious leaders
in the county to emulate him in assisting the less privileged ones in the
society.
