"Buhari is about to finish his second term, and he's still alive. Who determines when somebody dies or lives, who is the giver of life, it's only the sovereign God. And he's not a man."

Honourable Balo @YTBalogun said:

"Why is it difficult for their church members to always ask questions of them? At least most of them call themselves Teachers, and Teachers are met to answer questions from the pupils."

"If govt. pick this one up now, dem go say na persecution of the Church. These men need to learn to be responsible. It is becoming embarrassing every day. I'm sure he never apologised to his congregation for falsely leading them after this. It is one lie to another."
