Drop Your Ministerial Portfolio, Bishop Tells Buhari …States Recipe For Herdsmen’s Killings

The Presiding Bishop, New Day College of Bishops Worldwide, Rt. Rev. Innocent Ochei, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to desist from acting as the Minister of Petroleum and President of Nigeria at the same time.
Ochei also asked Buhari to act like a true leader who is in charge by allocating offices to the ministerial-designates, without further delay, as Nigerians have had enough of his delay in appointing ministers.
He said that “dropping the Petroleum Ministerial position attached to his office has become very imperative as it sends a very wrong signal that no Nigerian, except him, is capable and competent to handle the position, just as it makes mockery of his position as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
Speaking during the consecration of Bishop Jude Obadile Ifechukwu, at Rock of God Healing Ministry, Ochei said there was no need for delay in appointing ministers months after the President was declared winner of the February 23, 2019 election.
“I have seen some presidents who released the list of their cabinet members within two weeks they took over as presidents. Unfortunately, what you and I see in Nigeria is totally a different thing all together.
“President Buhari’s delay in appointing his kitchen cabinet is not a good omen, and he must desist from acting as the Minister of Petroleum and President of Nigeria at the same time. It is a mockery, and belittling of his office as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Federal Republic of Nigeria”, Ochei argued.
He also frowned at a situation where some Nigerian priests make mockery of themselves over illicit affairs with ladies and women, saying that the cases of alleged sexual harassment and rape, levelled against priests or pastors of churches were becoming embarrassing to the church of God.
“Many pastors have been accused of one sexual harassment or the other; some may be true while some are lies, but whether true or false, men of God must refrain from sexually harassing and raping members; such acts drag their name and that of the church to the mud.
“So many men of God have women issues, but what I want to tell them now is, if you think you have ‘ministry of women’ that you cannot do without sex, you can resign as a pastor, and then, go fully into ‘women ministry’.
“Women are everywhere, some of these men that cannot do without women should go for them, and they are available; and allow serious men of God into church services.”
Also speaking, Rt. Rev. Ossy Michael while preaching the sermon during the consecration service, called on Christians all over the world to have fear of God in them, pointing out that anybody who does not fear God was not a Christian.
He prayed for unity of Nigeria, Anambra and Delta State, his home state, respectively.
In his speech, the newly consecrated Bishop, Rt. Rev. Ifechukwu, who was visibly happy, said he was convinced that his call was from God, and thanked Him for making him a bishop, just as he thanked God for His numerous blessings.
