Fani-kayode Writes To Osinbajo – What Fellowship Is There Between Light And Dark

Fani-Kayode Writes to Osinbajo – What
Fellowship is there Between Light and Darkness?
A WORD FOR PROFESSOR YEMI OSINBAJO
I am glad that the APC eventually took my advice and
saw the wisdom in not fielding a muslim/muslim
ticket for the 2015 Presidential election even though
I hear that, right up till the last minute, they almost
did.
I congratulate my friend and brother Professor Yemi
Osinbajo on his nomination as the Vice Presidential
candidate of the APC and running mate to General
Muhammadu Buhari.
I have known Yemi for a number of years and I must
say that he is not only a very pleasant and civilised
person with a warm and gentle disposition but he is
also a cerebal lawyer with a brilliant mind. I have
immense respect for him.
Yet sadly ever since I heard about his nomination
and announcement as Buhari's running mate I have
felt nothing but sheer pity for him and a deep sense
of pathos. My counsel and words for him are as
follows:
Woe unto the children of light that secretly delight in
darkness and that seek to thwart the counsel of God
for their nation by joining hands with the sons of
Boko and the daughters of Haram.
The bible says ''what fellowship is there between
light and darkness?'' It says ''what does God have to
do with Belial?'' It says ''what profiteth a man to gain
the world and lose his soul?''.
A respected Pastor of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, a devout and committed Christian
and an intellectually-sound, well-bred and well
educated Professor of Law accepts to be running
mate to a closet fundamentalist, a bloodthirsty,
cruel and murderous military dictator and a die-
hard believer in the philosophy of ''born to rule''?
This is serious.
A gifted servant of God who is a favored spiritual
son of Rev. Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of
the Redeemed Christian Church Of God has jumped
into bed with one of the most notorious troublers of
the faith and one of the most consistent enemies of
democracy and Nigeria? This is very sad.
Rev. Enoch Adeboye is undoubtedly one of God's
greatest and most respected generals on the planet
and one of the Church's most humble and best-
loved precious gems, yet one of his spiritual sons
has surely let him, and indeed the Kingdom of God,
down by choosing to play ''man Friday'' and second
fiddle to an individual that represents everything
that is troubling, unsettling and repugnant to the
modern world and to the 21st century? What a
tragedy.
A learned Professor of Law and a senior member of
the Nigerian bar who is the leading authority on the
law of evidence and who has written numerous
books on that topic chooses to play number two to a
man that failed all his exams at military college and
that never went to a decent school or to any
university? Jumping Jehoshaphat.
It is only in Nigeria that this sort of thing can
happen. Poor Yemi. Look at what the Haramites
have done to him and look at what they have
reduced him to. Is there anything that these
creatures from hell will not do?
Is there anyone that they will not use and is there
any norm that they will not defile, pervert, debase,
violate and corrupt in their ignoble quest for power
and as a consequence of their insatiable lusts and
manifest greed?
The truth is that each and everyone one of us,
including my friend Yemi, will ultimately have to
answer to God for the choices that we make and we
must live with the consequences of those choices.
It is no wonder that the Redeemed Christian Church
of God has disassociated itself from a false claim
that the Church and, by implication, Rev. Adegboye
himself, was supporting the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket.
Thankfully they have come out to say clearly and
categorically that this is not so. One can always trust
Adegboye to do and say the right thing because he is
a man that is truly ''after God's heart''.
Yet the denial of an endorsement and tacit support
from his Church is just the first of many shockers
and unwelcome surprises that Yemi will be served
with in the next few weeks. He will get shock after
shock and surprise after surprise until the battle is
over and circumstances compel him to go back to
his very lucrative legal practice.
Yet before he does that he should learn a thing or
two from one of his esteemed colleagues and yet
another Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, the courageous Pastor Bosun Emmanuel.
Bosun said the following words in his famous
sermon titled 'The Nigerian Church' which went viral
just a few months ago.
He said, ''woe be unto any believer who joins hands
with the enemies of God in an attempt to bury the
Church and destroy the gospel''. This was a timely
admonition and these are strong and wise words
from a true servant of God who is under no illusion
about what is going on in the politics of Nigeria and
who is brave enough to say it as it is.
Yet whether we choose to heed Bosun's words or
not I am absolutely certain of one thing: those that
have aligned with the servants of satan and the
children of darkness and that seek to thwart God's
counsel for our nation shall not prevail.
Boko Haram abducted 185 women in Borno state on
December 18th and they killed no less than 52
innocent people. Despite that some people are still
supporting Buhari and his army of desperate
Haramites? What a people, what a country.
Those that say that Buhari has changed simply
because he chose a Pastor as his running mate are
ignorant. Did he not have a Pastor as his running
mate in his last outing in 2011? Did he not still say
that it was his intention to ''spread sharia
throughout the country'' and that ''an attack on Boko
Haram is an attack on the north''?
Did he not oppose a state of emergency in the north
eastern states and say that it was unfair for the
military to kill Boko Haram members? Did he not say
that instead of killing them they should forgive them,
pamper them and treat them in the same way that
the Niger Delta militants were treated?
Did the spokesman of his party Alhaji Lai
Mohammed not say that the proscription of Boko
Haram by the Federal Government was ‘’unjust’’ and
‘’unconstitutional’’? How does the fact that Buhari
has opted for a Christian running mate change any
of these things?
In any case he only opted for a Christian running
mate because he was compelled to do so as a
consequence of the hue and cry that the prospect of
a muslim/muslim ticket had already started to
generate.
Are those that cite the fact that he has a Christian
running mate as evidence of his new-found love for
Christians aware of the fact that during the
American civil war a small, ignorant, misguided and
deluded group of negro slaves actually fought on the
side of the southern confederate forces in an
attempt to keep slavery in place?
Did that suggest that the leaders of the southern
confederate ‘’secession’’ states suddenly changed
their minds and fell in love with the blacks that they
had enslaved and treated like animals?
Is Buhari's claim of not being partial to his own
hausa-fulani tribe not a little far-fetched? Did he not
lead a northern delegation to Alhaji Lam Adesina,
the late Governor of Oyo state, just a few years ago
when some Fulani herdsmen were slaughtering
Yoruba farmers on their own land and ask him ‘’why
are YOUR people killing MY people?’’
Apparently Buhari believed that the aggressors that
had invaded the land and farms of others and that
killed all the occupants had a right to do so simply
because they were fulani. Yet some people still claim
that the man is not a tribalist.
Ignorance and lack of knowledge is a terrible
affliction but in this context it is not only terrible but
also very dangerous. Buhari’s choice of a Christian
Pastor as his running mate means nothing and
changes nothing about him or his entrenched views
and ancient mindset.
It rather provides clear evidence of his sheer
desperation to win power at all costs and it is a
reflection of his obvious and deep-seated deceit. Let
the truth be told even though the heavens may fall:
Christian Vice President or no Christian Vice
President, Buhari's heart remains as dark as ever.
We shall meet him in the field: let God's will be
done.
