If Jesus Were In Nigeria today, He Won’t Keep Quiet – Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday said if Jesus Christ were to be in Nigeria at this time , he would not keep quiet on the situation of the country .

Obasanjo stated this in his goodwill message at the 64 th annual national convention of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria held at the church campground on the Lagos -Ibadan Expressway , Ajebo, Ogun State .

The convention also featured installation of the new General Overseer of the church , Rev. Samuel Aboyeji , who took over from the immediate -past General Overseer , Rev . Felix Meduoye .

Obasanjo , who disclosed that he first attended the church ’ s convention soon after he was released from prison , said the 64 th convention was his fourth time of attending the church annual programme .

Apparently reacting to the state of the nation , the former President gave an indication that the situation in the country required the need for clerics to speak out .

He urged Christians to be like Christ and as well foster unity among themselves , saying that failure to do that might make them become preys to the enemies.

He said “ As Christians , we have to be like Christ as we are transformed into the likeness of Christ or little like Christ .

“ So, in all positions, situations and events , we should be guided .

“ If Christ was in this position , in this situation or in this event, what would he have done?

“ We have a lot to do in the situation we found ourselves in this country today. And make no mistake about it , if we don ’t get together and stay together , we would be devoured and that we should not take lightly.

“ For me , if Christ was in Nigeria today, he would not keep quiet . He would say it as it should be said . He would speak truth to power. He would have no fear and he would have no intimidation .

“ Children of God , you have a responsibility to do and say what Jesus Christ would have done and said if he was in Nigeria today.”

Obasanjo , however, mocked the President Muhammadu Buhari- led administration on its slogan , “ next level .”
