Pastors in Rivers State have threatened to place a curse on some disgruntled elements who are busy advocating for the setting up of an Interim National Government, (ING) in the country.
The clerics, under the auspices of Rivers Pastors Unite for Tinubu, (RPUT), warned proponents of destabilisation of the country’s democracy saying they should either desist from it or face the wrath of God.
Over 100 pastors made their position known in a statement they issued in Port Harcourt on Wednesday to welcome the President-elect to Rivers State.
The statement, which was jointly signed by the coordinators of the group, Pastor Sunday Edimeh, and founder of One Life Bible Church, Port Harcourt, as well as Pastor Julius Dan of the Apostolic Church of Nigeria said they remained strong advocates of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidency.
They said contrary to the belief in some quarters, not all pastors worked against the emergence and victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the last election.
They further said as a non-political group, they only interfaced with Tinubu’s structure through the former Osun State Commissioner for Works Engr. Remi Omowaiye recalled that they had before the election declare their support for Tinubu.
“We, of the Rivers Pastors Unite for Tinubu, prayed, worked and campaigned assiduously with our various church members for the victory of Bola Tinubu. We were blackmailed and called all kinds of names, but to God be the glory; our efforts were crowned with Tinubu’s resounding victory.
The pastors reiterated their strong support for Tinubu’s presidency and assured him that they would continue to pray for him as they welcome him to River State on an official visit.
They urged him to do all within his power to make Nigeria a better place saying: “President-elect, our expectation is high. We toiled day and night here in Rivers for your victory. All we need from you is good governance”.
