From My Facebook Wall (6): Governor Suswam is Irresponsible Here, A Bad Christian

GOVERNOR SUSWAM IS IRRESPONSIBLE HERE, A BAD CHRISTIAN By Dr. Aliyu U. Tilde I consider this comment published in Blueprint Newspaper by Governor SUSWAM as irresponsible, coming from a Christian leader of his position. Help me please. What is this politician trying to put across when he says "only four Christians from the north were elected governors of their state", (Me: How many does he want in a game of numbers?) that "he was likely to be attacked by the dreaded Islamic militant sect, Boko Haram and therefore called on Christians in the country to fervently pray for him", (Me: Has Boko Haram given him any notice, nay, did they ever even mentioned him or is he just trying to win the sympathy from his people?) that "with the demise of Sir Patrick Yakowa and the almost hopeless condition of Suntai, only two of them are left standing adding that going by the security reports he receives on a daily bases, it is clear that he may be attacked any day, anywhere, anytime hence the need to include him in their daily prayers" (Me: Were Yakowa and Suntai attacked?) that "the plane crash which killed Yakowa was a source of worry for Christian northerners" (Me: is this a revelation?) and that "he could not believe what he saw adding that Suntai’s condition was pathetically critical." (Me: And so was 'Yaradua. What do you expect from a surviving pilot of a helicopter crash?) And a whole serving Governor was saying this in a church. Where is God in the heart of these politicians who have looted our treasury and are doing their every best to destroy us and our society? Has Suswan taken the statistics of Nigerian leaders who died in power and the religion they belonged? Help me count please: Balewa, Sardauna, Ironsi, Murtala, Abacha, Yar'adua. Did any Muslim governor, Emir or even cleric complain? Suswan is a live specimen of the two groups - politicians and clerics - that are destroying the North and Nigeria. May God deliver us from them and deliver them from themselves. As you read the full text of the Blueprint's report below, please help me decipher what he is trying to say but couldn't do so eloquently, for whatever reason. The Full Report: Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State has described the condition of his Taraba State’s counterpart, Governor Danfulani Danbaba Suntai as horrible and very critical. This was just as he said that he was likely to be attacked by the dreaded Islamic militant sect, Boko Haram and therefore called on Christians in the country to fervently pray for him. Suswam, who stated this while addressing communicants of NKST Church, in High Level quarters, Makurdi yesterday, decried a situation in which he said only four Christians from the north were elected governors of their state. He noted that with the demise of Sir Patrick Yakowa and the almost hopeless condition of Suntai, only two of them are left standing adding that going by the security reports he receives on a daily bases, it is clear that he may be attacked any day, anywhere, anytime hence the need to include him in their daily prayers. He stressed that the plane crash which killed Yakowa was a source of worry for Christian northerners adding that when he went to Germany to see Suntai, he could not believe what he saw adding that Suntai’s condition was pathetically critical. He called on Christians not to be carried away by the social aspect of the yuletide but to always find time to offer prayers to God for their leaders. Meanwhile, Suswam has described the death Governor Patrick Yakowa, and the immediate past National Security Adviser to the President, General Andrew Azazi, in a helicopter crash as tragic. In a press release signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Dr. Cletus Akwaya, Suswam said the incident was a national loss to Nigerians adding that it was a thing of regret that Yakowa and Azazi perished in the crash. He further said that the death of the two leaders has created a big vacuum in the leadership strata of the country which would be difficult to fill and therefore called for prayers from all Nigerians to avert such disasters in the Nigerian airspace in the days ahead. 148
