President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Bishop Wale Oke, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari should be removed if that would help the country to know peace again.
The cleric lamented that Buhari has failed to secure Nigerians in the face of worsening insecurity across the country.
Oke is the Presiding Bishop of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Ibadan, Oyo State. He spoke early hours of Saturday during a vigil at Precious Cornerstone University, Garden of Victory, Ibadan.
The message was made available to newsmen in a statement by the PFN president’s media aide, Mr Kayode Oladeji.
The statement read, “The President should be removed if that would pave the way for the desired peace in the country. In the 1960s when Nigeria fought a civil war, the eastern part of the nation was the theatre of war. Sadly today, everywhere in Nigeria is a theatre of war with killings and bloodshed going on in the country every day.
“Some wicked people kidnapped some students and demanded N800m for their release; they killed them. The government did not lift a finger and you are telling me that the President has not failed. Buhari has failed. For the first time, I have found myself praying that God should remove Buhari.
“They kidnapped students without the government doing anything and you are telling me that the government has not failed. Are you saying we cannot move against an incompetent government whose security apparatus has collapsed?”
Oke alleging that Buhari administration had been treating killer herdsmen with kid gloves, regretted that the Fulanis, who according to him, are less than 10 per cent of the population of the country, were being fingered in most of the killings across the country under the watch of Buhari.
He said, “It is a shame that the government could not protect those in Internally Displaced Persons camps which led to the massacre of a number of them in Benue State. The Presidency is now attacking Governor (Samuel) Ortom who was weeping over his people that were slaughtered.
“Give us peace by all means even if it means removing an incompetent and a failed President. Oh God, do it quickly and give us peace by all means. Give us a quick change at the top level of government of Nigeria.”
Leading the congregational prayer, he prayed for the wrath of God to fall on troublers of Nigeria and their sponsors.
