(3) Abacha was the greatest Nigerian head of State:
Pastor Bosun Emmanuel’s basis for this assertion was Abacha’s removal of Dasuki as Sultan of Sokoto and replaced with Maccido. But when Dasuki was initially installed by Babangida, there were widespread protests and riots in Sokoto against Dasuki, which were militarily put down, for the people preferred Maccido. By the time Abacha came to power, aside from the power struggle between him and Babangida, there was an undercurrent of the age-old rivalry and competition between the Kanuri and Fulani, dating from the time of Dan Fodio’s jihad and based on the Kanuri’s insistence on having been Muslims long before the Dan fodio jihad hence cannot be subsumed under his authority. By removing Dasuki, Abacha had one up against Babangida, nothing more, nothing less; so Abacha’s actions were as self-serving as can be and had nothing to do with neutralizing the Fulani.
Besides, Abacha was one of the top military officers that denied M.K.O. Abiola’s mandate aside from the (in)famous “Diya Coup” where he rounded up at least 12 top Yoruba officers, two of whom were Muslims, and all of whom were to be executed. And this is besides the fact that Abacha did not discriminate between Yoruba Christians and Muslims in his murderous rampage against the Yoruba among whom were Muslims like Suliat Adedeji, Kudirat Abiola et al. In what way then would Abacha be considered favorable to the Yoruba such that he would now be promoted as the best and at the same time saying he is looking after Yoruba interest?
(4) APC is an Islamic party like Muslim Brotherhood:
It is written “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”. What then is the truth about this claim? That there is a handshake between the South-West and North-West as far as electoral contests are concerned is neither here nor there lest Pastor Bosun Emmanuel wants the APC to commit political suicide. Goodluck Jonathan uses his presidential powers to embark on handshakes all over Nigeria, including the North-West and trying to corner the South-West by subterfuge and Pastor Emmanuel wants the APC to sit with arms akimbo and watch itself electorally decimated? Yet, Goodluck Jonathan has his SE/SS area in his kitty and now wants SW as well, as if we are incapable of generating our own stance but have to remain condemned into second fiddle. If Jonathan succeeds in neutralizing the APC in the SW, the party would not even have any leg to stand on when it comes to either negotiating or contending for power and the SW would be for Jonathan to play like a ball, having imposed all the known political prostitutes on us. The independence of action which the APC now makes available will no longer be there.
And when he cited the Muslim control of the party apparatus as proof of its Islamization, he did not situate it in its historical context; just as when Afenifere was still relevant, it was accused of being run by the Ijebu “gang of four” by its detractors and even some within the organization. Yet, those Ijebu leaders emerged out of the organization’s historical experience, their Ijebuness being circumstantial.
When, therefore, AD/AC was going through its test of existence, no one raised any alarm as to its leadership; the internal opposition left the party and formed DPA which disappeared after losing the governorship elections only to come back now riding on the coattails of Jonathan. And the AD/AC and DPA contained both Muslims and Christians and the split was not about any professed religion.
Historically, only those prepared to sell out the Yoruba would ally themselves with the center in order to gain political advantage in Yorubaland, as happened with Akintola/Fani-Kayode(Christians) to the Sardauna; Omoboriowo(Christian) to Shagari, the Obasanjo camp(Christians) to the “north” even though some in the Obasanjo camp have now reverted. All of these times, the Central government could only have its way through subterfuge, manipulation, war and threats of war with its attendant resistance.
Furthermore, the following examples provide just a snippet of the atrocities committed by the wielders of PDP power in the SW and who are mostly Christians: the PDP Government of Christian Obasanjo Unconstitutionally withheld Lagos State funds, and was successfully fought by Tinubu, a Muslim; Christian Jonathan, in an attempt to “capture” Yorubaland, employed the services of Muslims like Obanikoro and Adesiyan, disguised as federal ministers, to carry out his nefarious activities as witnessed in the militarization of Ekiti and Osun elections; Christian Jonathan conditioned his support for Christian Jimi Agbaje’s governorship ambition on an Igbo deputy Governor for Lagos when the same Igbo, had, since the anti-colonial era, been saying Lagos is “no man’s land” and the Yoruba has no rights of ownership and still saying so today; Christian Jonathan openly stated that the Yoruba are a minority in Lagos and other Yoruba states and are being led, historically, by rascals; all of these, and many more are not only unjust, unfair and are denigrating, but are also direct opposites of the attributes upon which Pastor Bosun Emmanuel built his promotion of Christian Jonathan.
While he proclaimed Jonathan’s “prophetic destiny” as not being concerned with performance in government but only on fundamental restructuring of Nigeria’s foundation; as ACN, the party wrote Goodlcuk Jonathan, immediately after the 2011 presidential elections, and suggested restructuring into True Federalism. Of course, Jonathan balked and began to move away from the ACN—probably because it was an “Islamic” Party?
Christians in Afenifere fell into the Obasanjo trap which allowed the PDP to hold sway in Yorubaland for 8 years with these achievements, among others: The PDP Governors of Oyo and Osun States were Christians who crippled their jointly-owned University, such that something as simple as having a Vice Chancellor became impossible; yet when the AC/ACN took over in both states, with Muslim Governors, there was an instant solution of which the people in the two states remain the beneficiary till today; when Gbenga Daniel, the Christian PDP Governor of Ogun State ran the State university aground, it took a Muslim Governor in the person of Ibikunle Amosun to revive it; it was the Christian Oyo State Governor, Christopher Akala who demolished Awo’s statue; the current Minister of State for defense as well as its Police Affairs counterpart are Muslims nominated by a Christian; and in the case of Police Affairs, he replaced a Christian from Ekiti State and their records in their brief time in office has been widely reported as to their shenanigans in militarizing elections in Ekiti and Osun States. They are working for Jonathan’s re-election. When the Femi Okuorunmu committee was going around, the APC Governments submitted memos as to True Federalism, while the Christians in the PDP and affiliated organizations and parties like Labor and Afenifere promoted continuation of the status quo, yet this is the Party and its Christian apparatchiks Pastor Bosun Emmanuel wants to promote as the best thing for Lagos and Yorubaland while wanting us to believe that the Conference is part of a prophetic agenda. With “friends” like these, Yorubaland needs no enemies.
It is thus obvious that the issue is not the religion professed by any governor or elected official or personality for that matter, but the “works” which such a person represent in terms of not only promoting Yoruba Existentialism which not only maintained religious tolerance but also served and still serves as a check on misgovernance, even before Christianity and Islam formally became influential in Yorubaland as such existentialism is correlated with justice and fairness as well as social responsibility which made it possible for Yorubaland to be accommodating to non-Yoruba regardless of their professed religions. The attempt at introducing a non-existent religious divide in Yorubaland is therefore unacceptable, regardless of where such an attempt is coming from and when we are talking of Christian revival through evangelism for political power as far as any nation is concerned, it has to be situated within the context of getting out of any form of captivity, otherwise, spiritual and physical evangelism would have no meaning.
For, it is also written that “we prophesy in part…. until that which is perfect has come when what is in part will be done away.” Hence, when it is said that Goodluck Jonathan is walking in a prophetic destiny but his “works” on that journey is its exact opposite, we know that such prophecy is in part, which part is in the necessity for fundamental restructuring and which will continue to be so until it is achieved, at which point it becomes the “perfect to come” with itself becoming an aspect of another part which process goes on until the end of the ages. It is thus up to Goodluck Jonathan to actually walk in it or manipulate it to suit his own purposes; what is certain is that it will be carried out such that any relationships between the Nations will be on voluntary basis. Hence, when there is deliberate manipulation or distortion of prophecy for self-serving purposes a la Goodluck Jonathan, it is mocking God.(concluded)

Do you know what it means to remove the Queen of England and replace her with another. That means the prime minister lords it over the queen. That is what Abacha did.

You don't mock what you don't know, see or feel. God is Spirit. His founders are correct and are unimpeachable anywhere, anytime, anyday! God finds satan wherever but only His Holy Spirit in us finds Him whenever.
