Lately, the prophet gave a fiery sermon against President Muhammadu Buhari where he alluded that transcendental forces are arraigned against the President for his many shortcomings. It was a rather stirring sermon, full of head-nodding references to the failures and hypocrisies of the Buhari administration, and how the nation will be imperilled if he wins a second term. Any show of aggression on the part of the state, in the light of Buhari’s persistent poor human rights record yields the plot to the aggrieved mob cataloguing the autocratic sins of President Buhari. The Buhari administration has, no doubt, made governance a questionable enterprise. For 2019, pastors probably would not stop at a subtle endorsement of a candidate but actively stake their reputation on the candidature of Buhari’s opponent.
