Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo may dump politics for evangelism soon, a source has learnt.
The Ota farmer, we gathered has joined other clerics in organising nationwide crusades.
The
reason, it was learnt may no be unconnected to the fact that President
Jonathan could not allow him to dictate how he wanted Nigeria to be
governed.
In protest, Obasanjo was said to have dumped politics for evangelism, having been trained at the National Open University.
He
was said to have teamed up with a royal father from his home town, Oba
Adedapo Tejuoso, Karounwi III, and the world-renowned evangelist, Kayode
Williams whose ministry is Bishop Kayode Williams World Outreach, to
hold crusades nationwide.
Sources
disclosed that Obasanjo, Oba Tejuoso and Kayode Williams, an ex armed
robber who repented while in the Sokoto prison, have begun a five-day
crusade in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, yesterday.
Confirming
the new status of Obasanjo, a cleric who is also an indigene of
Ogbomoso, Pastor Kayode Alabi, said, “Yes, it is true that former
President, Obasanjo, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso and Bishop Kayode Williams are
coming to Ogbomoso for a five-day crusade beginning from today
(yesterday).
The
whole city is agog for the programme tagged ‘‘Healing Ogbomoso Land
Gospel Crusade’’ holding at the Beulah Baptist Convention Ground,
Ogbomoso. The programme is being hosted by Ogbomoso Christian Ministers’
Fellowship.”
According
to him, Obasanjo may have resolved to spend the remaining years of his
life serving God who brought him out of prison and made him president
for eight years. He said: “Baba Obasanjo has many reasons for returning
to God to serve him.
You
would recall how Gen. Abacha arrested him with others, sentenced him to
death for alleged involvement in a phantom coup; he was set free after
spending three years, three months and three days in prison. He was
elected president and served for eight years and today he has many
reasons to serve the same God. Don’t forget that he graduated as an
evangelist from the National Open University. God could use anyone who
is ready and willing to serve him.”
