Shehu Sani reacts as Pastor Kumuyi warns against attacks on Buhari
The lawmaker
representing Kaduna Central at the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, has
warned the General Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church against preventing
Nigerians from expressing their views about their leaders.
We reported
earlier that Kumuyi on Sunday urged Christians not to attack the President of
the country through any means.
Kumuyi gave the
admonition during his sermon at the Deeper Life Bible Church, Headquarters,
Gbagada, in Lagos adding that real Christians must obey constituted authorities
and shun violence.
Delivering his
sermon entitled “The Believers’ Preservation Until the Day of Visitation”,
Kumuyi said that Christians are strangers and pilgrims in the world and must be
christ-like in their character, conducts and conversations.
“Don’t attack the
President of the country whether in words or in the newspapers or through
internet.
“Honour kings;
don’t disrespect or dishonour the governors. Don’t disrespect leaders of the
community and leaders in the church.
“If we are to
honour the governors in the states, how much more the Pastors,” Kumuyi said.
Reacting, Senator
Sani tweeted, “Pastor Kumuyi is a respectable and responsible man of God, I
like him.
“But he should
allow people to express their views about their leaders and speak truth to
power.
“That is their only
shield of defending democracy and propelling the wheel of freedom and justice.”
