El-Rufai of masterminding the recent allegations of infidelity against
its General Overseer, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, the church, through its
spokesman and Communications Manager, Phrank Shaibu, stated that facts
and available intelligence incontrovertibly pointed to the Kaduna
Governor as the mastermind of the allegations.
According to him, El-Rufai decided to sponsor the allegations as a
strategy to silence Apostle Suleiman and to take revenge for the
latter’s famed audacity of standing against the persecution and killing
of Christians in Southern Kaduna.
“It is clear that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is the mastermind of these
allegations. The masquerade has been unveiled and is now dancing naked
in the market Square. We don’t need to look any further for the source
of the smoke,” he stated.
Shaibu contended that apart from the initial suspicion by the church
that the Kaduna Governor may be behind the evil plot, the latest
so-called revelation by one Queen Esther, a supposed usher of the Omega
Fire Ministries finally uncovered the lid as to who was sponsoring the
myriad of allegations against the General Overseer.
“When Festus Keyamo in his first letter to our pastor made allusion to
fulani herdsmen, we dismissed it as a coincidence. Then intelligence
revealed that some persons are lodged in a hotel being trained on how to
clone Apostle’s voice and crop videos.
The first question that crossed our mind was who was paying the bills,
especially the huge media blitz that has trailed the spurious
allegations. We did not have to wait for long before El-Rufai exposed
himself. Indeed, he could not wait for long before coming out of the
closet”, he revealed.
The spokesman wondered why the said Queen Esther, who allegedly pleaded
for the media not to reveal her real identity should give as condition
that the Kaduna State Government must guarantee her safety if the
governor had no hand in the plot.
“Why is the said Queen Esther asking for protection from the Kaduna
State government. Is the government now the police or the Department of
State Services (DSS)? Why did she not mention any other state? Is it not
obvious that she is telling us what her sponsors are willing for
Nigerians to know?” he asked.
Shaibu argued that it was more than a coincidence that these allegations
are coming up no soon after the Senior Pastor had an altercation with
the same Kaduna State Government over the persecution and killing of
Christians in Southern Kaduna.
He therefore urged the security agencies, particularly the DSS to
investigate El-Rufai’s involvement in the unfolding saga, particularly
the possibility that he may be harbouring a private militia.
“Since the governor does not control the police or DSS, the likelihood
is that the governor has a private militia. It is also possible that the
so called fulani herdsmen on rampage in Southern Kaduna are part of his
army. That is why El-Rufai was unsettled by the pastor’s stand against
them,” he declared.
