It is then I realized a proverb that says "Not everyone who sits in the seat of honour is master."
Reactions has continued to trail the recent outburst of the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, over the health status of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, as Prophet and Head Shepherd, Celestial Church of Christ, Elisha Parishes, Marcus Korode Tomitan, warns the governor to retract his statement or be prepared to sacrifice his life for the ex-head of state.
He also said Buhari would not die now as he and other men of God would put down their blood to plead for long life on the APC's standard bearer's behalf.
It would be recalled that Fayose, recently, placed advertisement in some national dailies, pointing out the health challenges of Buhari and the likelihood of his dying while in the saddle, like some past presidents from his geographical zone of the country.
Prophet Tomitan, who condemned the “death wish” of the Ekiti governor over Buhari and averred that the ex-military leader would not die but emerge as winner of the forthcoming presidential polls in the country, come February 14, 2015.
The clergyman described the action of the governor as a sacrilege, noting that it was a taboo in Yoruba land to wish a living man death.
He however described the array of condemnation and open attacks trailing the candidature of Buhari as “last kicks of corrupt Nigerians, who have seen that their days are numbered with the emergence of a leader like Buhari after the coming elections.
“Fayose is behaving like a bastard. You don’t come out to wish somebody dead. Buhari will not die. What God told me is that he is going to win, landslide, in the coming election. There is no doubt about that. Ironically, Fayose may even die before Buhari. For him to be speculating that before some heads of state and president from his zone have been dying while in office is very unfortunate. The mathematics is very wrong.
“We shall pray for Buhari to live long. We shall donate our blood for him to live long. I tell you today that the coming elections shall produce the leaders that Nigerians want. Any politician who has the mind to kill anybody for him to hold sway shall use the blood of his first and last born,” he said.
The prophet also took a swipe at those questioning the eligibility of Buhari to contest the presidential polls, saying “leadership is not a matter of certificate but a divine gift from God.”
“Abraham has no certificate before he was made a leader. Joseph did not attend any school before he became the prime minister of Egypt. The incumbent president wouldn’t have been fit to rule the nation if we were to judge by his certificate because he is a zoologist by profession, and we are not animals.
“I am so disappointed that all these are happening after the peace accord was signed among the aspirants to use foul language against each other. I want to state categorically here that Buhari would have been killed before now, but his life was spared because he still has something to offer Nigerians,” he stated.
He further stressed that the retired General would do a lot in sanitising the country through efficient control of corruption, noting that his emergence as the presidential candidate of APC was God’s working.
“If you watched what happened during the delegate congress of the APC that produced Buhari as the presidential candidate of his party, you will see the hands of God clearly. Here is a man who has no money to flaunt around like the other candidates, yet he emerged with a landslide,” he said.
He however advised Buhari to, as a matter of urgency, change the naira as soon as he mounted the saddle, as a way of nabbing past and present corrupt leaders.
“I will advise General Buhari to change the naira as soon as he gets to power. I bet you that characters like Fayose will all go to jail if such measure could be taken,” he stressed.
