Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna state governor, says Apostle
Johnson Suleiman of the Omega Fire Ministries who has repeatedly said he will
die for introducing the proposed Kaduna Religious Regulating bill, should tell
him when the death will happen. El-Rufai said this while talking to reporters
in Kaduna state recently
"Most of the people that say I would die, as if I would not die,
are people who call themselves Christian clergy. Of course, I will die. 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. And some sections of
the media have made it as if the law was drafted against Christianity. It is
most irresponsible and I have nothing to say except to leave the matter to
God" he said
He maintained that the bill does not have any
ulterior motive
“Honestly, we do not have any ulterior motive other than to put a
framework that will ensure Kaduna State citizens live in peace with every one
practising his religion, but disallowing every Tom, Dick and Harry coming to
say he can preach.” he said!
