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.”
