United States President Donald Trump on Friday ordered Governors to allow religious centers, declaring them as “essential”.

He announced that new Centres for Disease Control guidance will classify houses of worship as “essential.”

He told Governors to allow them to open “right now” after being closed during the coronavirus lockdowns.

Trump announced the policy for churches, synagogues, and mosques during a short briefing at the White House.

“The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now–for this weekend,” Trump said.

“If they don’t do it, I will override the governors.”

“In America, we need more prayer not less,” Trump said.

“I consider them essential,” Trump said earlier Friday of houses of worship of all faiths.

On Thursday, Trump had a conference call with 1,600 pastors and faith leaders from around the country, including Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council.

He reassured them he wants to get churches reopened.

Trump telegraphed the decision Thursday when he announced he spoke to the CDC on finding ways to reopen houses of worship during the pandemic.

“We’ve got to get our churches open,” Trump said Thursday.

Some faith leaders have argued that social distancing rules have violated First Amendment religious freedoms.

Others have defied state and local rules and tried to reopen.

I don't know why I like this Trump guy but I sincerely do, maybe cos of his doggedness. Ponder on what he said again..

“The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now–for this weekend,” Trump said.

He calls them Essentials

It is only in Nigeria you will see people calling out churches, insulting men of God, to the point of telling them why they did not construct bridges from Abuja to Lagos, or railways, blaming the undeveloped state of the Nigerian economy on these individuals, neglecting those they elected to carry such functions and praising them for looting public funds met for such purpose.

I will say this again and again, until we begin to see ourselves first as Nigerians before tribe, ethnicity and the likes we are going know where, and also holding our leaders accountable, we will continue to go round in circles.

Condemn what is bad from this leaders weather you are a Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, or Muslims/Christians or APC/PDP, they deserve to feel the heat from us so that can sit up.

God bless Nigeria.
