Cleric condemns ethnic bigotry, says Yoruba not above Igbo

President, Christ for All Souls Ministry, Prophet Ezekiel Olawumi Odedoyin, has warned that ethnic bigotry must end in the nation as no tribe is better than the other.

Odedoyin, who gave the charge, yesterday, in Egbeda, Lagos, at the headquarters of the church, said: “We are one in Christ. Every tribe belongs to God and loved by God. Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa are one. Any attempt to defile what God has not defiled will lead to nothing.

“Politicians are sponsoring bigotry; they set the people against each other to achieve their aim. Different tribes in Nigeria have always been one. So, anyone kicking against a particular tribe is not from God. Anyone who kicks against another tribe is an animal because we are all created equally. Yoruba are not above the Igbo, Hausa are also good people. So, we must come together and embrace love.”

He further said: The best security is God himself. We must allow God to protect us. But there will be changes when the new government gets into power.

“There will still be calamity until Christ come but the lives of those who run to God will be better.

“The incoming president must perform the work assigned to him by God. And he must not forsake any tribe. He must rule according to the standard of God. The President is the father of the nation, not the president of a particular tribe. The incoming government must choose carefully members of the cabinet. Cabals will rise up and will try to hijack the government.

“I prophesy about the emergence of Bola Tinubu, but he is not the saviour, Christ is the Messiah, but Tinubu will clear the road for the saviour, many people who will come to rule.

“When people claimed that Tinubu is part of the Buhari’s government, but what portfolio was he given? If he has what God has given to him, he cannot release it to another person and he doesn’t want anyone to take his glory. Also, it’s not the president that can do everything, this is not a military era, they have the cabinet; there are people that are worst than the president and they are there destroying the lives of people.

Speaking about citing the headquarters of the church in Lagos, he said: “Christ for All Souls is coming down to Lagos in another package, we are bringing a solution centre to Lagos. A ground where people will come from every part of the world to see that God is performing miracles, and they will testify to what God is doing.
