…describes judgement as ‘victory for the masses’
DEBO ADEOYE, IBADAN
The Oyo State Chairman of the CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (CAN), PASTOR BENJAMIN AKANMU has described the judgement of the governorship election petition tribunal that affirmed ENGINEER SEYI MAKINDE as the winner of the 2019 governorship election in The State as ‘victory for the masses’.
PASTOR AKANMU who spoke on phone with sunrisetimes.com.ng from the STATE OF ISRAEL on Wednesday congratulated MAKINDE on his victory at the governorship election petition tribunal.
He also thanked the good people of the State for standing solidly with the governor in defence of their votes. He described the judgment as a confirmation of God’s involvement in the project ‘SEYI MAKINDE 2019’ right from the begining.
“I have said earlier that Engineer Seyi Makinde was selected from the pool of better candidates by God to lead His people out of ‘Egypt’. He contested as a candidate of God, flagged the Heavenly Party’s name (Trinity) at the last election, so coming out victorious at the tribunal should not be a thing of surprise to us, can our God be defeated? Definitely no.” AKANMU said.
“Responses that followed the judgement of the tribunal has confirmed that Seyi Makinde is truly people’s governor and that his people are appreciative of every of his moves and actions so far.
“For instance Mr. Bayo Titilola-Sodo, Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Oyo State Council was on Fresh FM yesterday, showering praises on the governor for prompt payment of workers’ salaries and entitlement.
TITILOLA-SODO jovially gave MAKINDE’S treatment of workers as reason for his recent good look, he confirmed he is no longer under any pressure. “Makinde has taken pressure away”.
In a similar development during the official commissioning of FM Radio Station owned by the NIGERIA UNION OF PENSIONERS, OYO STATE COUNCIL on Tuesday the 17th of September, the executives of the union unanimously honoured the governor in their speeches for “wiping away their tears and returned joy into their lives.”
PASTOR AKANMU said MAKINDE’S achievement within four months in office is unimaginable and has got a lot of people confused to the extent that people are still in doubt despite visibility of the achievements.
He said “majority of the wonderful achievements of Makinde so far, all of which have all generated much debate and argument among politicians and even some elites. They could not comprehend why he ordered refund of school fees paid by parents during Ajimobi’s reign and the cancelation of school fees from primary to secondary levels.”
“My advise to people is that should not forget that God is already in control of every situation in the state. Trying to decode how Makinde will run Oyo successfully without crashing along the way is like an attempt to prove God’s existence, it will result to a mere wasting of time because God who anointed Makinde is above and beyond our concepts which only work properly in the empirical world,” PASTOR AKANMU analysed.
He however called on everyone in the state including traditional rulers to mobilize support for the governor to ensure his administration consolidate on the good works done so far.
“My advice goes to the people of Oyo state, especially traditional rulers, community leaders, executives of all unions, parents to stand tall and join hands to build fence round this administration to give courage to the governor as he continue striving to take the state to enviable level.
“Christians should not relent in their prayer and supplication, I pray God Almighty to grant the state His divine protection and blessings in Jesus name, Amen,” PASTOR AKANMU prayed.
