“Must We Continue Like This” – See What Bishop Wale Oke Has Urged Nigerians To Use Their Vote To Do

Bishop Francis Wale Oke, the Na­tional President of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), has charged citizens to make use of their votes to deliver the country from the impending collapse oc­casioned by bad leadership and tribal sentiment.

The Bishop, who doubles as President, The Sword of The Spirit Ministries, a.k.a Christ Life Church, in an interview with journalists at the service of new ministerial year of the church held at the auditorium of the Precious Cornerstone Universi­ty, Olaogun, Ibadan, Oyo State, maintained that competence should be the yardstick for electing the next Nigeria president not religious sentiments.

He stated that the man for the job should be some­one with proven capacity to deliver the nation from the current predicament.

He said, “Must we contin­ue like this? Singapore and Nigeria became indepen­dent around the same time, Singapore has broken into the first world economy.

“Why must one tribe con­tinue to dominate Nigerian politics? We have had a Hau­sa-Fulani as president, must we have another Hausa-Fu­lani when an Igbo man has never become president? And we are saying agita­tion will stop; agitation will never stop.

“Tribal sentiment, non­sense. 

They have devalued our lives; they devalued the naira. The highest paid civil servant in Nigeria is taking pittance compared to what is being paid to their coun­terparts in USA. Must we be recycling old people?

“Injustice is the bedrock of the agitation. If you don’t stop injustice, arresting the people won’t stop the agi­tation. 

More agitation will come. Why must one tribe dominate Nigeria and see it as a conquered territory? The injustice is too much, corruption is too high, the evil, the violence; who will deliver Nigeria? That’s the issue and not religious sen­timent – if you will treat Muslims and Christians as equal and you will not fa­vour one religion over the other.

“Journalists, tell the truth, when the military were oppressing Nigeria, you led the battle. Some of you were killed. Dele Giwa was killed with parcel bomb. The evil people did that. We want you to speak out against the oppression; the masses are being op­pressed. 

October 20 was the saddest day of my life, they (the youth) were holding rally against police brutali­ty which we are all familiar with. They gathered them­selves singing the national anthem and holding nation­al flag, sitting down and you opened fire on them.

“Such party should nev­er come to power in the next 40 years. Should we forget that kind of evil and bru­tality? Those are the issues we should address beyond sentiments. For me, if you are an Hausa man, it’s good, Fulani man, it’s okay, Igbo, Kanuri, Edo, Ibibio or Yoru­ba man, provided you stand for justice, equity and all Nigerians should be treat­ed equally.

“Why should Fulani be killing and the president be pretending it is not hap­pening? We should end this nonsense, otherwise let the various federating units go their ways. Why should I be a second class citizen in my own country? No way!”

The Bishop, however, ex­pressed faith that the coun­try could bounce back to glo­ry, saying that “Nigerians should not lose hope, there is a great future ahead of us. We must fight hard. An­other opportunity lurks in 2023; your future is in your hands, your voter’s cards. 

You sell your vote because of money, you have sold your future and the future of your children from gen­eration to generation. Vote for whoever you know that has the capacity to solve the problem of Nigeria ir­respective of tribe. There is hope for the future but we have to fight for it; use your vote to deliver Nigeria.”
