Apostle Suleman Speaks On Preferred Governorship Candidate

Controversy has stirred up among Nigerians as Pastor Johnson Suleman of the Omega Fire Ministry defended his preference for a particular candidate in the upcoming Lagos State gubernatorial election.

The pastor had tactically endorsed Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the candidate of the Labour Party, which has drawn criticism from some Nigerians.

In a post on his verified Twitter handle on Friday, Suleman questioned why it was an issue for a pastor to have a preferred candidate.

He cited the fact that people call out pastors for being quiet when things are bad in the nation, but when they speak, they are accused of being factional.

The pastor further revealed that his family members in Lagos had asked for his opinion about whom they should vote for in the state guber election. He stated that he would not say anything to avoid being accused of showing favoritism.

“I am asking because my family members in Lagos are asking me who they should vote for, if I say they should all vote @GRVlagos, people will say I have started again, that as a pastor I should support everyone. So I won’t say anything,” he tweeted.

The controversial statement has since generated mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some expressing support for the pastor’s right to have a preferred candidate, while others criticized him for using his position as a pastor to influence his followers’ voting decisions.
