Prophet T.B. Joshua delivered a shocking message during the Sunday service of 4th May, 2014 at The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, repeatedly calling on all Nigerian political parties to immediately cancel political rallies or face dire consequences of disobedience.
He also spoke on the rumoured planned attack on Sheraton Hotel, Lagos and the fate of the over 200 missing schoolgirls in Borno, declaring that their rescue was imminent.
According to the acclaimed prophet,
“There is a difference between Nigeria as a nation and political parties,”
Speaking further, he said, “Nigeria is calm; it is the political parties that are not calm. These political parties gave birth to militants and Boko Haram.”
The pastor then insisted on the immediate suspension of all political rallies in the wake of the current situation. “How can over 200 schoolgirls be kidnapped somewhere and we are talking about disagreements between political parties? And APC and PDP are not ashamed?” Joshua angrily stated.
“They should suspend all rallies and acrimonious campaigns. It is this division that gave opportunity for hoodlums, militants and Boko Haram to explore and exploit.”
He went further to warn that the militants would redirect their attacks towards people that matter in society if this advice was not heeded. “If our political class does not stop their campaigns and rallies and put aside the name of parties – APC, PDP, Labour – to come together to discuss as Nigeria, these people will turn against them. Any moment from now, you will hear of ‘bigshots’ being attacked.” He concluded.
