Opinion: ‘A trillion El-Rufais cannot silence the voice of God or of His kingdom.’

By: Lawrence Okwoli

My attention was drawn to a statement credited to governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State where he publicly threatened to GET the senior pastor of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, over what he tagged as an inciting statement against his person.

I wanted to ignore him but I chose to speak out and not be silent because the body of Christ is being threatened by the forces of darkness here and I urge every Christian to rise up and speak against it.

El-Rufai in his said statement accused the Senior Pastor of Dunamis of mainlining his name and he pointedly asserted thus, “The clip was circulated in Kaduna and he is in Abuja, we will get him.”

I am yet to understand the motive behind his statement in what appeared to be a threat.

I have watched the video over and over again and there was nowhere Dr. Paul Enenche mention or accuse him (El-Rufai) of kidnapping and killing any traditional ruler, neither was his name mentioned in the entire message.

The pastor only condemned the abduction and the eventual murder of the paramount ruler of Adara Chiefdom, Agwom Adara, His Royal Highness, Maiwada Raphael Galadima paramount ruler of Adara Chiefdom, Agwom Adara, His Royal Highness, Maiwada Raphael Galadima who resisted every attempts by some from his government to bring all the chiefdoms in Kaduna under the emirate system.

El Rufai’s statements and denial reminds me of the case of a child denying stealing meat from the pot simply because his mum asked if he had visited the kitchen.

Let it be made known today that not even a trillion el-Rufais can silence the voice of God or of His kingdom.

Reacting to a message after two months is an afterthought and a clear case of swimming in a dry ocean.

No threat or political conspiracy would deter the armies of God’s kingdom from speaking against the declaration of war against Christianity in Kaduna State and Nigeria at large.
I call on the United Nations and international community to pay attention to this statement of Nasir El-Rufai against the person of a peace loving Nigerian citizen.

I also call on Dr. Paul Enenche not to allow the empty noise from Kaduna shriek his voice from speaking against political Ahithophels in Nigeria.

I want to remind the governor that despite his hatred for Christians, the church is marching on and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.
