2023: God Told Us To Support Tinubu – South South Pastors

Published

on

The South-South branch of the Network of Clergymen in Nigeria (NCN) has thrown its weight behind the presidential aspiration of APC national leader Bola Tinubu.

In a statement by the coordinator-general, Joseph Francis and deputy coordinator Chris Ebhodaghe, the clerics said Nigeria needed a strong politician like Mr Tinubu to become the country’s next president.

“The country has never been so divided and impoverished before, but when you look at the track record and political history of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you will realize that this is the best time for us to have this miraculous change,” stated the clerics. “We need a strong man who has the capacity, tenacity, courage and determination to drive the economy and create more infrastructure in Nigeria.”

They noted that Mr Tinubu would bring a fresh breath to the polity because he has not been a part of the government in the last 15 years but just a national leader of the APC.

The clerics added that Nigeria was divided along ethnic and religious lines and needed a detribalized Nigerian with the capacity to accommodate all.

“We need a man that will bring togetherness and peaceful coexistence between the Christians and Muslims in Nigeria, and Tinubu is the one the spirit of God tells us to follow,” they claimed. “As an elected senator in the aborted third republic, he was at the forefront of the restoration of democracy which was eventually achieved in 1999, and he has remained constant to date. Nigeria needs fresh air, and we believe Tinubu is the fresh air.”

Top official of the Nigerian Correctional Service has given an update on how crossdresser, Bobrisky is being treated in prison.

Recall that Bobrisky was handed a six-month prison sentence over naira abuse. While sentencing him, Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos, said the judgment would be a deterrent to others who are found abusing and mutilating the naira.

An official of the prison who spoke to Punch said the crossdresser was taken to prison after the judgement and he was examined at the point of admission. It was also stated that no realignment of gender or genital organ was discovered as his male biological features were the same.

The source told the publication;

“Bobrisky made a public declaration that he was a male and court proceedings are public records. Every inmate brought into a facility during admission is examined. He was equally examined and no realignment of gender or genital organ was discovered. The male biological features were the same.

“After that, a cell was allocated to him, and he had a certain number of inmates with him. A bed space was also allotted to him. It is just like a boarding house where your housemaster will issue you your personal belongings.

“When it is time for class, he attends. When it is time for food, he will go and get his portion. The same goes with prep and light out. He observes all these without preference. He has been going about his business just like other inmates since he was brought in here.

“He is not getting any five-star treatment and is not being protected from anybody. He follows the same rules and regulations just like every other inmate. Single cells of isolation cells are to prevent outbreaks of communicable diseases.

” In a male prison, homosexuality is outlawed and it is a grievous offence. Sodomy or homosexuality, is frowned upon here in the custodial centre. So any inmate that tries to violate him will face the law.”
