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.”
