Lai Mohammed Begs TB Joshua Not Leave Nigeria by trendsng1(m): 10:00am On May 03, 2017 |
Minister Information and Culture,
Lai Mohammed, on Tuesday pleaded
with the founder of Synagogue Church
of All Nations (SCOAN), Pastor
Temitope Balogun Joshua (T.B.
Joshua) to reconsider his decision to
relocate from Nigeria, The Nation
reports.
According to Mohammed, Joshua’s
decision was not the best for the
country.
At his church service on Sunday, April
30, Pastor Joshua said he was leaving
Nigeria because of the persecution the
ministry was facing
in Nigeria.
He said, “This is the most persecuted
ministry in the world. Who are the
people persecuting the ministry? My
people, Africa.
“That is why I choose to live a lonely
life. If you want to see me, come to
this church. I don’t go out. It has not
been easy – because I don’t know
who is a friend or who is an enemy. If
you learn T.B. Joshua is not around, I
am in a revival. I live in the church
here. I don’t have a house outside.
“What happened to me from the
beginning of my ministry is enough to
chase me out of this country. But I am
still in your midst. Upon the
persecution and hatred, I decided to
follow the path of love. You show
hatred; I show love.
When I go for a revival, you will see
the stadium full but I am not carried
away by that. I leave where I’m
celebrated to live where I’m
persecuted.”
The minister in a chat with journalists
during the Annual General Meeting
(AGM) of the Nigerian Association of
Tour Operators (NATOP), held in Ikeja,
Lagos, described Joshua’s decision as
unfortunate.
Mohammed called for dialogue
between the pastor and the authorities
over whatever challenges he was
facing.
He said, “That will be very unfortunate
in the sense that if he does move out,
it will affect our tourism in Nigeria.
Pastor Joshua is an important person,
he must bear with us. This is his
country.
If he moves out and go to South Africa
(for example), the revenue will go to
South Africa. It is better that Pastor
Joshua sits down with the relevant
authority and resolve whatever
problem he has. If I have access to
him this is exactly what I am going to
tell him.”
