•Refers to Gov. El-rufai as king Herod
By Ola Ayodele
Apostle Johnson Suleiman, One of Nigerian pastors who is popularly known for his fierce prophecies and predictions has recently declared war between him and the governor of kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El- rufai for enacting religious regulatory bill in the state.
According to Suleiman, El Rufai has no right to regulate the activities of religious leaders when he has not regulated the activities of traditionalist in the state. He said before he, El Rufai, became governor, they were men of God and that they will still remain men of God when he leaves office.
Few weeks after he declared that Kaduna state governor, Nasir El Rufai will die if he does not revoke the Religious Regulation Bill. Edo state based pastor and the Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries (OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleiman, while preaching in his church recently reaffirmed his death sentence on El Rufai, saying he will die for daring to anger Christians.
During his sermon last Sunday, Suleiman said
“I am not just running my mouth. In the 1999 constitution, Chapter 4, under the fundamental human rights, section 38th says that everyone has a freedom of thought, conscience and opinion and it says they are very free to exercise their religion either in a community, in public or or in private. Public means put your speakers anywhere. So the man is not just going against the scripture. He is going against the nation. He is going against the constitution and he says because he did it in Abuja, nothing happened. He entered a christian community in Kaduna and he says he will destroy life. He will die!”he said
While condemning the religious regulation bill, the pastor described El Rufai as the Herod of Kano, an imbecile and a barbarian whose mouth is bigger than his body
“The Herod of Kaduna. Your days are numbered. Churches marked for destruction by an imbecile. A barbarian. A man whose mouth is bigger than is body. He wants to rubbish Christianity and everybody is saying we should take it easy. To hell with everyone. If you hate the church I hate you If you stand against the church I fight you. The Herod of Kaduna, your days are numbered”he said
