PM NEWS – The Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel shocked everybody in church at the weekend when he asked God to deal with all his assumed enemies. P.M.News reports that the embittered governor last Saturday at the Redeemed Church of God, Peculiar People’s Parish, Onikolobo, Abeokuta, took the microphone from the pastor and openly called on God to destroy his enemies.
Daniel, who openly declared war at the wedding thanksgiving of the Lisa of Egbaland, Chief Bisi McGregor’s daughter, took offence at the Zonal Pastor of the church’s prayer that God should intercede immediately in the crisis in the state and engender the return of peace and harmony.
Reacting to Pastor Kuyooro’s prayer after he had taken the microphone from him, the governor insisted that there was no crisis in Ogun State, that it was only a group of people that want to turn the state upside-down and make it ungovernable for him.
At that point, Daniel told the congregation to rise and close their eyes, as he was going to render a fresh prayer against Pastor Kuyooro’s, which he condemned as being improper.
The governor, a son of an Archbishop in the Aladura sect, then prayed thus: “Oh Lord! Those who are standing in the way of the progress of this state, remove them.
“Those who want me to share the money of Ogun State with them, father destroy them, Holy Ghost fire fall on them.“Father God! Those who want to assume power by all means through the back door, let them fail woefully. Heavenly father expose and disgrace them. Let all of them; including those behind them be put to everlasting shame….”
The entire congregation, including the Assistant Provincial Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church, Abeokuta, Pastor Abiodun and Chief McGregor’s in-laws from Edo State, openly expressed their shock at the governor’s reaction inside the church.
On the entourage of the governor were: Chief Yomi Majekodunmi (Chief of Staff), Akogun Kola Onadipe (Commissioner for Water Resource and Solid Minerals), Are Tunde Alabi (Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs), and Chief Kola Sorinola (Commissioner for Special Duties) Chief Joju Fadairo (Ogun P.D.P Chairman) who came with his wife and Aremo Taiwo Alimi (Chairman, Gateway Television Board).Others were: Prince Jacob Akindehin (Special Adviser on Road Development), Arch. Kayode Adebayo (Special Adviser on Urban and Physical Planning) and Comrade Wole Oduntan (Consultant on Labour Matters).
On that Saturday night, Governor Daniel shifted his spiritual warfare to the annual Tarborrah hosted by Archbishop Ositelu at Ogere Remo, where he continued his call on the Holy Ghost fire to consume his detractors.
He arrived at about 9p.m. with his wife, Yeye Olufunke and prayed till 3a.m., (Sunday morning), when he departed with his convoy.
