2015: WE NEED TO LOOK BEYOND BEING A CHRISTIAN OR MUSLIM, SAYS REDEEM PASTOR, KALEJAIYE One of the close confidants of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God,[RCCG], Pastor J.T. Kalejaiye has admonished voters that choices in the coming general elections should not be based on the religious persuasion of any candidate. Kalejaiye, a regional evangelist of the church, declared; “Of what use is my brother, my blood brother who is not going to move the nation forward? And you want me to vote for him because he is my brother? Don’t let us deceive ourselves.” He stated further that there is an urgent need for Nigerians to change the current system where nothing works. “We have to change our system… Who is a Christian? Who is a Muslim? When I was working somewhere, my boss was a Muslim. I enjoyed under him. My boss provoked me to study further. My boss was always after my welfare. It shall be well him wherever he is today. He is a Muslim. The soldier attached to me was with me for almost 15 years. I never knew he was a Muslim. The day he opened his mouth to say “Sir, I am Muslim,” I said “What? But you follow me to the camp. You do this, you do that.” He said that when it was time to pray he would pray. Kalejaiye charged Christians to avoid being ensnared by pretenders who associate with Christianity only when soliciting for their votes. “Brethren, wake up! Who is a Christian? That somebody goes to church doesn’t make him a Christian. That somebody bears Christian name doesn’t make him a Christian. You are a Christian yet there is no employment for our youths. People who should be feeding their parents are still being fed by their parents. How many youths can get married today without the support of their parents financially? During our own time, we did our wedding, we only called our parents to come and eat. Today, our children who are 35, we are still feeding them. The pastor denounced the current elevation of corruption to an official mantra. “What are we saying? Let’s call a spade a spade, brethren. Things cannot continue this way. Corruption is the order of the day. You can steal and nothing will follow. That’s all… Brethren, if you don’t do something, something will do you. Wake up!”. He charged.
