Is Festus Keyamo touching a wrong chord – ‘a man of God’ – or he is speaking the mind of his political party? 

Mr Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, is the spokesperson for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign.

He has added his voice to the deluge of reactions trailing a leaked audio trending online.

The audio is allegedly a conversation between Labour Party’s Peter Obi and the Founder of Living Faith Church, David Oyedepo.

In the purported audio, Obi begged the cleric to help him mobilise Christian voters ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Men Of God And Politics

Keyamo reacted to the leaked audio via his Twitter handle.

He says it exposes men of God who claim to have heard from God, whereas it was the call of Obi they heard.

“Having confirmed the authenticity of what is now known as the Peter Obi ‘Yes-daddy’ audio.

“I think the real culprit here are the so-called ‘men of God’.

“They allow themselves to be used by an unscrupulous politician.

“They also seek to inflame religious passions in our dear country in the name of politics.

“So, when they were telling their hapless adherents that they heard the voice of the Lord, it was actually Peter Obi’s telephone calls they heard and not God’s voice.

“This is deceitful, shameful and disgusting.

“Imagine a so-called ‘man of God’ comparing notes with a politician as to what he said or what he would say on the pulpit in order to get him votes.

“I hope this sufficiently embarrasses the ‘men of God’ in Nigeria to forthwith desist from using the pulpit for politics and the Church-goers to stop being teleguided by their self-serving ‘men of God’.

Religious War

“As for Peter Obi who declares an election a ‘religious war’ in a multi-religious and multi-ethnic country like ours.

“The real God has just exposed him and his dream to be Nigeria’s President one day has just died a natural death.

‘Yes-daddy’ is now permanently etched in the consciousness of the nation and we will NEVER forget!”.
