From Pastor Bakare To Oyedepo And The Exegesis Of Other gods, By Adeolu Ademoyo 16 min read
The 2015 Nigerian election will come and go. But what will remain in the minds of Nigerians is the alliance between the corrupt forces in Nigerian polity and some clergymen. When the clergy worship other gods, the faith, religious, spiritual and moral injury inflicted on the Body of Christ is incalculable even though HIS words remain divine, eternal and the unity of HIS Body endures forever.
It is in the context of this un-holy alliance that we examined the visit of President Jonathan two weeks before the then February 2015 election to Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel, Ota western Nigeria. This falls in the context of President Jonathan’s now regular campaign strategy of using select clergymen as his campaign foot soldiers through the office of the CAN President-Mr. Oritsejafor.

During his second attempt, the governors were adamant. Nobody was ready to contribute. The only governor that was ready to volunteer was Ali Modu Sheriff, the then Borno State governor who gave N10m on the eve of the election. But the N10m didn’t reach Buhari. It was N9m that reached him on Friday evening whereas election was on the following Saturday morning. Some people said we shouldn’t accept it because, how do we spend the N9 million when the election is tomorrow? He (Buhari) rejected it. Whether it was returned (to Sheriff) or not, I don’t know. We went into the election like that and failed. The three committees sat and had an assignment and came back after some days. We met and deliberated. I was the chairman of one of the committees. I gave my report. The other committees too gave their reports. After deliberations, we went for NEC and decided to look for a small party and continue the struggle. There was a unanimous decision on this.
