The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has taken a swipe on fetish politicians, who he said have started to trade in humans parts for diabolical purposes ahead of the 2015 general elections.
Oritsejafor said such politicians were the ones troubling the peace, progress and existence of the country, but would soon meet their waterloo.
The cleric made these submissions on Wednesday at the Thanksgiving Service for Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s 60 birthday, held at the First Baptist Church, Warri, Delta State.
He described the challenges of the country as foundational in nature, wrongly laid by the country’s forefathers, adding that he was sad seeing educated Nigerians turning to diabolism in spite of its evil implications.
Speaking on the theme: “Thanksgiving,” taken from 2 Corinthians 9:11-12, he warned politicians, who were already engaging themselves in burying cows and human heads in order to win the coming 2015 elections, to desist from the act, saying they have already lost in the elections.
“People are burying cows, human heads because of election. You wey go school? Wetin dey do you sef? Dem take white chalk, red chalk rub you? You don lose already. You are troubling Nigeria,” the CAN president stated in pidgin.
Oritsejafor, who prophesied that Uduaghan would spend another 60 years on earth, God willing, said Nigeria was a place where wicked people do things with impunity, where “we turn white to black and black to white”.
Perhaps making allusion to the spurious allegation against him over the aircraft saga in South Africa recently, the former president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria said wicked people in the country usually hung evil on the necks of the innocent.
He frowned at the hardship many innocent Nigerians were going through, admonishing the rich to alleviate the suffering among Nigerians.
“There are people suffering for what they did not do. Some are enjoying what they did not work for. Living a life without God is wickedness,” he admonished.
Responding, Governor Uduaghan, while giving testimonies about his diamond jubilee, said his testimonies were numerous, but could only be summarised in the song of ace gospel singer, Frank Edwards: “Lord You Reign.”
Dignitaries at the occasion included Dr. Olu Falae, Deputy Governor Amos Utuama and his wife, Archbishop Goddowell Awomakpa, royal fathers, government functionaries, musicians and comedians like Alli Baba, Sammy Okposu, Daddy Showkey, among others.
Meanwhile, Dr Uduaghan on Wednesday, attributed his successes and preservation in life to the goodness and mercies of God.
Governor Uduaghan observed that but for God’s intervention in the affairs of his life, would not have been alive to witness the 60 years celebration.
“Sixty years is not a joke. In the last 60 years, God has lifted me from nothing to something,” he said, adding: “People have accused me of thanking God so much, but I have not thanked Him enough.
“I am a living testimony of thanksgiving. That is why I will continue to thank God again and again. God lifted me up and given me a new song. I am stronger than I was 10 years ago. I give God all the praises.
“One secret of getting God’s blessing is to praise God.”
