Anti Religious Freedom Law: Nigerian Pastor threatens to Announce Burial Date for the Kaduna State Governor

The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai is already becoming known for always being entangled in series of unneccesary controversial actions. The governor has sent a bill titled ‘A bill for a law to substitute the Kaduna state religious preaching law, 1984′ to the state House of Assembly to regulate religious preaching across the state. This bill has been seen in many quarters as anti-religious freedom. In response to the bill, the Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman criticized the bill and in response to the Apostle, Gov. El-Rufai, demanded that Prophet Suleiman should tell him the exact date of his death, bearing in mind that death is irrevocable. In his words 

“If that apostle is truly an apostle, he should mention the day I will die. There is nothing in that law that prevents or infringes the practice of religion. It seeks to ensure that those that preach religion are qualified, trained and certified by their peers to do it,” El-Rufai had said.

In a fiery response to the governor’s demands, Prophet Suleiman, in his latest message, said: 

“Pray for the plan of the enemies, those in authority, to turn Nigeria to a country of one religion; it will not work. I said something sometime back about one governor that is trying to Islamise Kaduna, he said he want to put a bill to try and control preaching and the reason he wants to do that is because of the Islamic uprising i.e. the issues of insurgency in the Islamic world…. I do not fight with the government of the Kaduna state, it’s too small to fight with me… If you want to correct your people, correct your people; we don’t have problem with Christians and if you want to balance your people, balance your people; we don’t have problem with Christians and the man said I should give him the day of his death."

“You are dead already, ask for the day of your burial. I don’t give date for death but I can give date for burial.” Apostle Suleiman, warned El-Rufai not to pass the ‘license for preaching in Kaduna State’ into law or he would die.
