A mild drama occurred at a Christ
Apostolic Church in Gaa Akanbi, Kwara, when Kayode Alabi, deputy governorship
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), came visiting.
Alabi, who mounted the pulpit to
read the Yoruba version of the Bible, asked the congregation to open to Deuteronomy
3:26 and Numbers 16:17, both of which contained the phrase, “ó tó gé.”
Ó tó gé, a slogan of the APC in
the state, literally means “enough is enough”. The party has been using the
slogan against Senate President Bukola Saraki, who wields strong political
influence in Kwara.
One of the congregants read the
verses of the scripture amidst thunderous applause from the church members.
When it got to the place where the slogan is, Alabi said “ó tó gé” and left the
pulpit without adding another word.
Alabi also visited different
churches in Ilorin to solicit prayers ahead of the rescheduled elections.
On the sidelines of the visit to
churches, Alabi told NAN that people of the state were more resolute to put a
stop to the reign of “dynasty” and vote the government of the people as
“symbolised by the APC”.
Some of the churches Alabi
visited were First ECWA, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Christ Apostolic
Church, and the Cherubim & Seraphim Movement.
At the RCCG Mount of Joy Parish,
Region 4 headquarters, Sabo Oke, Akintunde Abdullahi, the pastor, called on the
church members to support the APC candidate.
Abdullahi said: “This is our own,
we must support him. I am not a politician, but I love politics and I know we
belong to different political parties, but he is our own.
“If I don’t support my pastor,
who else will I support? If any of you are interested in politics, I will
support you. The era of shying away from politics is over.”
