Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the
Omega Fire Ministries, has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special
Assistant on New Media, Lauretta Onochie for attacking him over the outcome of
the Ekiti State governorship election.
Suleman said Onochie was dragging
the Presidency “into the gutters. ”
In a prophecy, Apostle Suleman
had said the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, would emerge winner of the just
concluded Ekiti State election.
But, the reverse was the case as
the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Kayode Fayemi was declared
winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Reacting, Onochie described the
Cleric as not being in talking terms with God.
In a tweet, Onochie wrote,
“Pastor who is not in talking terms with God but who continues to lie with
God’s name.”
However, Suleman described the
remark by Onochie as a poorly-executed hatchet job and barefaced lies.
A statement by the Omega Fire
Ministries Spokesman, Mr. Phrank Shaibu said ”It is common knowledge that the
quality of media management in the nation’s presidency has taken a nosedive
since President Muhammadu Buhari took office, but the presidency hit a new low
on Sunday when Onochie threw all pretences to the wind to rubbish a man of God
with her unguarded vituperations and outright spewing of hate.”
He said “even if a primary school
pupil had written that tweet, the lies told therein could not have been so
recklessly blatant and so devoid of any shred of professionalism.”
The statement noted that Onochie
lifted the purported prophesy from the wall of a facebook user who has since
pulled the post down after discovering that it was false and unverifiable.
Shaibu said, “Isn’t it unbecoming
that a presidential spokesperson is propagating an unverified report? Apostle
never made the purported statement being credited to him at any fora and I
challenge her to provide a contrary source to the one I just mentioned or
produce any shred of evidence to support her claim.
”But we hasten to say that we
sympathise with Lauretta Onochie as we know that life itself has not been fair
to her. Our appeal is that she should not vent her frustration on the church.
The other day, it was the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that she
attacked, today, it is Omega Fire Ministries. Who knows which Church is next?
“After careful examination, we
think that Lauretta Onochie is burdened by the challenges of life and is
gradually going off her rocker. If not, why should anybody in his or her right
frame of mind, not even a presidential aide, sit down in one corner of his or
her room, pick up a fable on social media and then begin to broadcast it on
social media?”
Shaibu said contrary to Onochie’s
assertion, Apostle Suleiman is a “non partisan man of God, whose constituency
is the church and has people of different political divides as members.”
“Our major point of departure
from the Buhari-led administration is the senseless massacre of harmless
Christians across the country and Omega Fire Ministries will not keep quiet
until the day Christians and Nigerians are at large consider their country as a
safe haven,” the statement said.
