Femi Adesina Under Fire For Changing Church Because of Buhari

Yoruba socio- political group, Afenifere, has tackled the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, for supposedly changing church because of criticisms leveled against the president.

Noting what it claimed was Adesina’s castigation of critics of Buhari as being anti-Fulani, the group rebuffed the claim saying that previous Fulani presidents of the country including President Shehu Shagari and Umaru Yar`Adua did not divide the country the way Buhari has supposedly done.

Particularly noting how Adesina praised Pastor William Kumuyi as against his former pastor at the Foursquare Gospel Church in Abuja, the group accused Adesina of trying to divide the body of Christ to polish the image of President Buhari.

Afenifere in the statement issued by its  Secretary General, Chief Sola Ebiseni, questioned Femi Adesina on why agents of the Buhari government left Leah Sharibu, the Dapchi School girl behind in the custody of bandits after she refused to renounce her Christian faith.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Femi Adesina had in a statement last Friday noted how he had to change church after his pastor in the church where he worshipped continuously criticsed the Buhari government. He had noted how the pastor criticized the kidnap of the Dapchi School girls but kept mute when they returned.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that one of the school girls, Leah Sharibu who was the only Christian among the girls was left behind after she reportedly refused to renounce her Christian faith.

Responding to Femi Adeshina, Afenifere said:

“This time around, Femi has chosen to hide behind a patronising statement on Pastor Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Ministry to latch at the clergy for speaking truth to power.

“lt is absolutely within his right, for Femi to choose not to go to any church as long as he serves the Buhari’s government, but he cannot deliberately misrepresent Pastor Kumuyi to set him up as examples of prominent personalities who would see no evil or say nothing about evil in order that they may not be seen as denigrating government and men in power.

“He was particularly unkind to the Pastor of his own church which church he exited particularly because he chose not to stop criticising President Buhari after most of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls were released.

“Power must have done some incalculable damage to the psyche of Femi Adesina that he would not remember that five of the girls were brutally murdered and that in the release negotiated by the Federal Government, Leah Sharibu was singlehandedly and permanently denied her freedom for refusal to renounce her Christian faith.

“Yet, Femi expected his own Pastor, as a leader in the same faith, to applaud Buhari for doing nothing extraordinary to bring Leah to freedom, if only to demonstrate that he is the father of all faiths despite his records of being a sharia agitator”.

“Buhari is not more Fulani than Shehu Shagari, the mantra of whose government, as President of Nigeria, was One Nation, One Destiny. Umaru Yar Adua, as Fulani and President of Nigeria, did not spend two years to solve the problems of agitation amongst the youths of the Niger Delta.”
