chat with The News
Question:
When we look at the campaign of PMB, we saw
Asiwaju Tinubu as his backbone, he played a leading
role in the emergence of Buhari as President.
Recently in the church, I heard I wasn't there, that
you attacked Jonathan and Tinubu and when I look
at your comment on Tinubu, I see that you always
attack him, I want to ask, why?
Answer:
Well, you told me you were not there, hearsay
evidence are not feasible in court. Since you were
not there, I would have asked you to go listen to the
tape and come back because sometimes what looks
like an attack is truth. Why would I attack Asiwaju?
Talking of politics, he has paid his dues. People were
not there when I preached the message and that
really celebrated Tinubu. That he single handedly
fought the PDP to a standstill in the southwest. I
sent him the tape.
Do you understand me? Again this is our society,
the moment you focus on issues, they reduce it to
personalities. May I ask you the question maybe
that would throw light on areas that you call
criticisms by those who do not know the
difference between critique and a negative
comment. Shall I pray for you that your children
will not be greater than you? Will you say amen to
that. So if God has used you to facilitate the
emergence of someone who now performs better
than you, shouldn't you be happy.
My mother is a happy woman, she didn't go to
school but she sent me. And today she is at
peace with herself that she has worked hard and
worked well and I give her the honour. You may
never meet my mother but you have met the letter
she has written to the world. It not a letter written
with ink and pen. Do you understand me. I don't
have any problem with Asiwaju. On 3rd of
November 2014 I was in Asiwaju's house and I
said to him 'Asiwaju, there are only four things
left that I am pursuing in this world, and none of
them is in your hands, my mother is 106, her
prayer is that I should survive her and give her a
befitting burial. Asiwaju, can you guarantee my
being alive to do that?' he said he can't. No 2:
'Asiwaju, I want to stay in health while waiting to
give my mother a befitting burial, can any human
being guarantee that?' Nobody. I have five
children by the grace of God, I want them to be
greater than I am, and I don't want them to go
before me, 'can you guarantee that?'
And finally I said I want to make heaven at the
end, and to hear, 'good and faithful servant, enter
into the joy of the Lord your God' can you
guarantee that? he can't. So why the basis of
competition, what I am looking for is not in your
hand. Am not looking for power, I am not looking
for position, I am not looking for appointment.
Can't you understand that? I have never done
contract in my life. So there is no basis for
attacking Asiwaju except in the figment of the
imagination of some people. But something
touched me, and when matters are brought to me,
I look at some of them, I take them all, sometimes
I don't bother myself because you must not fight
every battle and lose the world.
