Ecotvnews: Fayose Vows To Stand
By Apostle Suleman

signature of persecution Ekiti state governor
Ayodele Fayose has accused the All
Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal
government of being behind the travails of
popular cleric Apostle Suleman of the Omega
Power Ministry, who is presently embroiled in a
scandal over extra-marital affair with one
Stephanie Otobo. Daily Sun reports that Fayose
made the accusation through a statement by
his aide on public communications and new
media Lere Olayinka on Wednesday, March 15”
“The governor described the allegations against
Suleman as “high level conspiracy meant to
destroy the integrity of the pastor and silence
his critical and principled voice of truth and
dissent in a nation fast becoming a one-party
state.”
Fayose declared his support for Apostle
Suleiman in the statement released in Ado-Ekiti,
the Ekiti state capital and claimed that the APC
has an agenda to persecute Christian leaders.
He said: ”I stand by Apostle Suleiman and other
men of God being directly or indirectly
persecuted by the All Progressives Congress
(APC) cabal.
“This was the same way they tried to drag the
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christians
Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare
Adeboye in the mud. The whole world was
aghast at how they insulted and ridiculed the
highly-revered RCCG General Overseer. But for
the outcry from all over the world, they almost
bundled out Pastor Adeboye from his position
as RCCG General Overseer and could have even
arrested the General Overseer of Winners
Chapel, David Oyedepo.” He added that “their
evil plan is to destroy the Church so as to
silence every perceivable strong voice of
opposition. And their mode of operation is to
take on every vocal, principled, and popular man
of God one after the other.”
““Should it not interest Nigerians and the
international community that up till today, none
of those herdsmen that killed thousands of
Nigerians in Benue, Enugu, Delta, Ogun, Plateau
and Kaduna states have been arrested? Even
those arrested in connection with the murder of
Abuja-based female pastor, Eunice Elisha have
been released.”
Governor Fayose wondered why all the adultery
allegations and blackmail against Apostle
Suleiman surfaced only after he spoke against
the killings by Fulani herdsmen. “This, no doubt,
is a continuation of the desperate but
despicable and condemnable attempts to
destroy opposition and the voices of reason in
this country so as to subjugate every decent
Nigerian and turn the country into a banana
republic. “After politically subjugating many
Nigerians, including a section of the Judiciary
that refused to do their bidding; they have now
turned on men of God, this is condemnable,” the
governor said. “Anyone who has a case against
any man of God should swear an oath, proceed
to the law court and face the rigours, rather
than engage in media trial and character
assassination, which have become the hallmark
of this administration.”
““The family of Stephanie Otobo has disclaimed
her and her claims. Rather than own up and
recant, those paying for the entire drama are
making her to keep changing and modifying her
claims, with they all still collapsed like a pack of
cards. All other efforts to enlist other
blackmailers against this man of God have
likewise collapsed irretrievably.
“I therefore make bold to say that I stand by
Apostle Suleiman. I also call on all those who
believe in me to do likewise and carry the
message abroad. To me, this plot against
Apostle Suleiman is madness carried too far.
“One wonders why this same resources and
vigour with which Apostle Suleiman is being
blackmailed have not been deployed into
confronting those murderous herdsmen that are
slaughtering Nigerians like animals across the
country,” Fayose concluded.
Recall that Fayose helped Apostle Suleman to
escape arrest by operatives of the Department
of State Services in the early hours of
Wednesday, January 25. The Pastor, who was in
Ado Ekiti for a two-day crusade, was alleged to
have preached against Fulani herdsmen
rampage by ordering his members to kill any
suspected herdsmen they find near him or his.
