Founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has responded to criticism that pastors have remained silent over Nigeria’s security challenges.
Speaking during a church service, he said many of those now calling on religious leaders to speak out were quiet when some pastors criticised the government under former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ibiyeomie insisted that church leaders have not ignored national issues.
He also questioned why critics dismiss past interventions while accusing pastors of silence today.
His words:
“Now nobody is talking again; all those people who used to riot are not rioting again. Nigeria is a funny country. They talked during Jonathan; why they no talk again? They say men of God are not talking about the country’s insecurity; the ones who talked during Jonathan’s term, why aren’t they talking now? The time we talked, una talk? We’ve been shouting since.”
