General Overseer of the Mountain of Mercy (Ori-Oke Alaseyori), Prophet Moses Muyideen Kasali has cautioned against the political victimization of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The popular blind cleric, stated this during the seventh anniversary of the church special fasting and prayer programme and special service to mark his birthday at the church’s headquarters in Ojedeji community, Akinyele Local Government Area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
He said those who are trumping up charges against him may end up taking him to greater heights in Nigerian politics.
The Prophet Kasali said, “There is an influential man in this country whose name is Bukola Saraki he was Kwara State governor for eight years. After that, he became our Senate President.
“Allegations of corruption were leveled against him and many were talking about him in all the media. The noise was so loud. Someone, a pastor, once exclaimed beside me, saying: ” Saraki is finished” but I said if the wind currently raging against him cannot overwhelm him. I declared that they are only publicizing the man to the whole world.
“At a time, many of his loyalists deserted him. But I learnt a lesson from Saraki. When his so-called loyalists left him he didn’t give up. He is a Muslim. He didn’t lose hope at all. He reckoned that though, he may fall, it is still possible for him to rise again.
“He is still the Senate President now. But they have brought another charge against him now and I begin to reason, may- be this is how they would push him to his glory to become Nigeria President. Some people may begin to mock him”.
He also condemned men of God who were of the opinion that only people of a particular faith can rule the country well.
“Many fake pastors have turned things upside down. We will soon hear what God has in store for them. They are the clerics who would say that it is only Christians who can rule this country better. God owns Nigeria. Religion doesn’t own Nigeria. God is the God of everybody. He can use anyone He pleases to rule us. What matters is that the one who He chooses makes life better for us. What is the use of a Christian leader who lacks direction?.
The cleric also admonished journalists against feasting on unfounded, negative reports about clerics in the country, saying, ” those who reports or listens to bad news about clerics committing one crime or the other, clerics being involved in ritual killings, raping minors or sleeping with women not their own wives. What do you derive from feasting on those reports?
