Pastor Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Church has rejected the response of the Presidency to a call for restructuring made by the General Overseer of the Redeemed church of God, Pastor EA Adeboye.
The Presidency, through president Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide, Garba She, had denounced the call as constituting “recurring threats to the corporate existence of the country.”
“The Presidency responds to the recurring threats to the corporate existence of the country with factions giving specific timelines for the President to do one thing or another or else, in their language, ‘the nation will break up,” Shehu said in the statement.
Adeboye had spoken at a symposium alongside the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; former Governor of Cross River State and former presidential aspirant, Donald Duke; and a former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, warned that it was either the country restructured as soon as possible or it broke up. “You don’t have to be a prophet to know that one,” he added.
Apparently referring to both standpoints, Adeyemi noted on Monday:
“When did it become a threat for citizens to express opinions, even if strong, about the structuring or restructuring of their country? Effective leaders listen.”
