President Muhammadu Buhari’s
victory at the presidential election is divine, hence those opposed to it are
challenging “God’s authority” according to Julius Ediwe, a preacher.
Ediwe spoke at the Unity
Fountain, Abuja, during a programme held
in celebration of Buhari’s victory
He advised critics of the
president not to oppose God’s choice but instead pray for Buhari.ops, was
particularly critical of some naysayers in disguise as prophets who forecasted
defeat for the incumbent.
“I won’t say I am surprised at
the composition of the audience here. I would instead say I am moved to tears
so much that I asked myself, could this be happening in Nigeria? Could a
gathering a people from different faiths praying for a common goal happen here
in Nigeria?” he asked.
“God is indeed faithful to his
word and his people. When it was declared here some months ago that the Lord
revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari would emerge victorious at the polls,
many doubted us and called us all sort of names. But we preserved.
“ I, therefore, ask today been
the 2nd day of the Thanksgiving and Salat Al-Shakur service that are we not
sharing in the kingdom of light? In the same vein, in Surah Al-Baqara, 153, it
is stated that “O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and
prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.
“ What does this tell us? It
merely tells us on the oneness of God, and that was why we have been able to
assemble here together and united in one voice, spirit, body and soul.
“Brothers and Sisters, let me
make it clear here about statements coming from some supposed men of God
describing the elections as rigged and not in the interest of the people. I am
taken aback with such a statement, and in my capacity as the Provost of the
South-South College of Bishops, I abhor such statement because God is not a man
that he should lie. Those questioning Buhari’s victory are challenging God’s
authority.
“ My brothers and sisters, I
stand before you as a servant of God to say that God is indeed on the throne
and for those that think otherwise should have a rethink. I say this with all
authority that President Muhammadu Buhari is indeed Gods choice for Nigeria
because I prayed and heard him clearly when he stated that Buhari is the chosen
one to take Nigeria to greatness.”
