General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has advised the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, not to challenge the result of the presidential election in court.
President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerge winner of the presidential election conducted on February 23.
Atiku has since described the election a ‘sham’, and has inaugurated a team of lawyers to challenge the results at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
However, in his sermon on Sunday, Apostle Suleman advised Atiku not to go to court, but to ‘go home’.
He said: “Nigeria is bigger than everybody. Politics is a game. When you lose, don’t go to court, go home. It’s not your father’s property. If you don’t win today, you win tomorrow.”
The cleric also threw a jibe at the national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole who said Atiku was not destined to be president.
“No man is God. You can’t tell anyone that he is not ordained to be president. You are not God. If you don’t win today, you win tomorrow,” Suleman said.
He also said to his congregation: “Many of you in church belong to different parties. You are now enemies because of political parties, not knowing that the players are friends. They will phone themselves and say ‘What you did was wrong, then they will say ‘Don’t worry we’ll talk about it, we’ll meet in the mosque so that we’ll pray.’”
