As part of the strategic meeting on Christians involvement in politics, denominational bodies were recently conveyed at Caritas Event Centre, Ikorodu Lagos to look at the problems they face and proffer solution and way forward.

The programme was designed to educate and sensitize Christians about their roles in politics across the nations.

It was organised through the Apostolic Round Table (ART) in conjunction Christian Association of Nigerian (CAN), Lagos east.

The chairman of the event, Chaplain Victor Kene Okafor, called on Christian bodies to see themselves as one in Christendom to arise and occupy.

Okafor noted that Christians should listen to the clarion call of the church as a body of Christ irrespective of their denomination, adding `we are one body and also do not allow what American church is experiencing today to happen in Nigerian.

He said the meeting was a continuation of their drive to seek the protection of Christian interests in Nigeria political space.

“Now is the time for the church to reflect deeply about her ways,’’ Okafor reiterated.

According to him, when the Lord said we should occupy until He returns, why have we become beggars politically in our own country?

“If politics is the game of numbers, doesn’t the church have the number? When God said that His people perish due to lack of knowledge and that is the reality today.

“Why is the church being beaten black and blue on all sides? No wonder Jesus said that the children of this world are wiser than the generation of the children of the light.

The convener, Dr Bolaji Akinyemi described the exercise as a wake up for Christians to ensure things are done properly, we need to put ourselves together with one voice.

Akinyemi pointed out that what happened in Edo state during the governorship election was that all the bodies of Christ spoke with one voice to choose a candidate and they achieved their aim.

He stressed that there is need for the Cama law to be amended and the issue of restructuring is also important and not a problem to the nation.

“I will advise Christians as a body of Christ to stand up and do the right thing and take their place, already we have leaders in the church to set up structures on how to operate on political space.

Mr Abayomi Agbede- Daniel, the national conference director, said that Apostolic Round Table was lunched to help the church know their potential, not only knowing their potential but to implore politics.

According to the director, church should key in irrespective of denominations, come together as one and take advantage of their potential.

“I will use this medium to admonish politicians to ensure they do what they were elected to do.

“Governance is quite expensive to run; we should begin to deplore resources into human capital, giving quality education and healthcare with basic infrastructure to the masses.

Sup. Evang. Dr Emmanuel Adegoke, in his message to Christians urged all denominations to see themselves as one body of Christ.

He noted that Churches in Nigeria have a major challenge of denomination which has caused more harms to Christianity.

He said that Christ told Christians to occupy until He comes.

“To preach his gospel across and occupy, we must start speaking with one voice and leave a legacy,’’ he said.

In his remarks, Commander Peter Olabode, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Ikorodu province, said part of the issues Christians face is that they do not live by example.

“I will advise the church as a body of Christ to leave a legacy, keep the commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ no matter the denomination you belong to, but the most important is to show love.

Apostle Moses Olugbaro of the Liberation Bible Church Ikorodu said Christians have great opportunities they embrace love, start doing the right things as our father did when He was on earth, things will be alright.

While urging churches to sustain the good work of Christ, he added that every other religious bodies will have confident in Christianity

Sahara Weekly Reports That Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, the Lead Pastor and Founder of the Oneness in Christ Ministry and Shepherd of CCC Living Grace Tabernacle, has once again seen one of his prophecies come to pass. The man of God had previously foretold the passing of a prominent figure in Nigeria, a prophecy that has now been fulfilled.

 

Prophet Kingsley Aitafo's Prophecy Fulfilled: Alhaji Muyideen Bello Passes Away

 

During one of his open-air crusades, Prophet Kingsley Aitafo revealed a vision in which he saw the departure of a great individual. He noted that the event would leave the nation in awe and shock. He prophesied that this occurrence would take place before the 17th of January, 2024.

 

These were his exact words:

 

“I don’t know what is about to happen in Nigeria, but write it down: between now and the 17th of January, something will happen that will shake the nation. A great or big name in Nigeria is already passing by, and it will leave the country in shock. When you observe the weather, it is already giving signs. I don’t know who the individual is—it might be one of the kings, a great man of God, or one of the prominent businessmen. This individual is aged, and their passing will shake Nigeria. From now to the 17th of January, 2024, what I am saying will come to pass. Although there is grace that it might not happen, in the spirit realm, I see it as already done.”

Redeemed Pastor Agu Irukwu Faces Criticism Over Burial Controversy

Redeemed Pastor Agu Irukwu Faces Criticism Over Burial Controversy

 

Agu Irukwu, a pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Jesus House, London, has been heavily criticized for allegedly disregarding a court order related to the burial of the late Chief Gabriel Olumuyiwa Akinboro. The controversy has reportedly caused significant division within the Akinboro family.

 

 

Critics have called on Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of RCCG, to investigate the actions of Pastor Irukwu, alleging that his behavior has tarnished the church’s reputation. Among the accusations is that Irukwu ignored two pending litigations concerning the late chief’s burial and unilaterally organized the funeral outside the Egba West Anglican Church, where Chief Akinboro was a dedicated member and trustee. The pending court cases in the various suits AB/781/2024 before Justice O.O Majekodunmi, adjourned to 18th February 2025, suit MA/42/2024, and suit AB/839/2024.

 

 

Allegations of Personal Bias and Misconduct

 

Irukwu’s actions are said to have excluded many of the late chief’s family members, including his children, wives, siblings, nieces, and nephews, from participating in the burial. Critics claim his decisions were influenced by his relationship with Abiola Obileye, a deaconess at Jesus House, in London.

 

 

The allegations further extend to personal misconduct, with claims that Irukwu was involved in facilitating Abiola’s divorce from her former husband, Tunde Obileye, under questionable circumstances. Reports suggest that their relationship began before Abiola’s divorce and has continued thereafter.

 

 

Calls for Accountability

 

Members of the Akinboro family and others in the community are demanding that Pastor Irukwu be held accountable for his actions. They allege that he disregarded Chief Akinboro’s wishes to be buried at the cemetery of his Anglican Church, a decision described as disrespectful and divisive.

 

 

Furthermore, concerns have been raised about Pastor Irukwu’s leadership and the potential misuse of his position within the RCCG. Critics argue that instead of fostering unity, his actions have exacerbated tensions within the Akinboro family.

 

A Call to Action

Given the gravity of these allegations, there are calls for RCCG leadership to address the matter and ensure that the church’s principles of fairness, integrity, and respect are upheld. The situation highlights the need for transparency and accountability in leadership roles, particularly within faith-based organizations.
