The Imo State Governor, on Monday said that
churches have misled the people.
The Governor, who spoke through his
Commissioner for Information and Public Utilities,
Mr. Obinna Nshirim, made this remark while on
radio programme, Imo Broadcasting Corporation,
IBC, in Owerri.

Nshirim said that some people allegedly wished
the President death. He called on the church
leaders to accept their mistakes.

According to him, “It is wickedness when religion
support wishing your brother dead. It is idleness
and also bitterness. Rather than accepting that you
made a mistake so that you start to correct
yourself.

“You know that one lies leads to another. That is
while it is cheaper to tell the truth and face the
consequences initially. “You lost an election you should accept that you
made a mistake but those who misled us
especially the churches.

“They told us APC is Muslim party. APC is Boko
Haram. They would not watch us blame them.
There is a mystic around church leaders.
“They called our governor Alhaji in government
House and called him Boko Haram.
Speaking about President Mohammadu Buhari, he
added, “If Buhari should succeed and God will help
him to succeed in writing the wrongs, in changing
the psyche of our people in bringing those desired
change.
“Then these people, their reputation will go down
and down to the bottom. So the best thing that can
happen today is anything bad happening to Buhari.

“They will now come to tell you see God does not
lie, we told you he took something that does not
belong to him.
“Buhari at seventy something is Buhari not as
strong as you are ? The important one is that he
came with something special.
“And as one time head of state, who does not own
an oil bloc, who does not own an upstair in his
name he is something special.”
