The Senior Pastor and District Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Bethel Toronto, Pastor Amos Dada has said that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressive Congress (APC) have failed Nigerians, urging other political parties to come together and form a formidable party.
He noted that other registered political parties should gather themselves to form a strong political party that will learn from the past and be committed to right the wrong of their wicked predecessors .
Pastor Dada who stated this in a release obtained by CAC NEWS said that hopefully, such a party will salvage Nigeria and not eat the nation with their ten fingers, adding that it will be a party that will fear God and respect human dignity.
The Convener of the annual International Gathering of Eagles conference said that surely Nigeria needs a brand new set of Calebs and Joshuas, men of uncommon faith, boldness,
integrity, fairness, passion, compassion and drive.
"I have watched from a distance the political landscape of Nigeria and using spiritual binoculars I have seen the trajectory that we are going and it is very intimidating unless something drastic is done."
"For 16 years PDP led this nation from nowhere to graveyard. They abused the corporate sense of Nigeria and Nigerians . They pilfered the life blood of the nation, the oil, natural resources, Human Resources and wasted them. They trashed the educational system and they blatantly refused to developed the land. They chopped the head of the nation like ‘Isiewu’ soup."
"The youth and the elderly were made to dance in the market place naked. The youth were technically driven away from their villages and hamlets to find succour in the diaspora through the Mediterranean Sea and harsh dessert regions of the world but many of them perished before reaching their projected dream land."
"I was in Warri last December where I asked after a young man that I know for sure has a wonderful future. Unfortunately I was told that he had perished in the Mediterranean Sea while another one died in Libya. I wept!"
"Afterwards, the masses were deceived by APC with the change mantra ! They stated, we shall reverse all the woes of PDP. We shall fight corruption , we shall develop the economy $1-=N= 1. We shall not only secure your borders we shall protect the territorial integrity of the land. Boko Haram? Consider it dead. Infrastructure will be developed, we shall build four refineries, no more fuel shortages."
"The helpless poor masses sang their praises and voted them in massively. Almost 3 years now ( yes small compared to 16 but the Yorubas say: the eye that will last you from morning till night will not start with mucous) not much have changed. It is obvious if APC is allowed to continue beyond 2019, Nigerians shall weep like the Israelites in Babylon even though we never had Zion. “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.”
"As if the fact that the Fulani herdsmen are killing us is not enough problem, the lackadaisical and nonchalant attitude of Nigerian leaders to the killings is quite perplexing! How can over 70 human beings be slaughtered by Fulani herdsmen for cattle in Benue State and the President does not have the human heart to visit the place? To worsen the matter, he now commands the leaders who are mourning their wives and children, sons and daughters to come and ‘see him at Aso rock’ where his buttocks are glued to his chair. What a shame ! What level of wickedness, callousness and insensitivity!"
"How can we continue with this APC led government who are now planning with the legislature to make this heartless and barbaric calamity a regular occurrence through their bills that will allocate permanent place of slaughter throughout the nation to the Fulani herdsmen instead of enlarging the prison yard to accommodate them there. How can we continue with APC's cluelessness in governance?"
"But the greater danger is that the same old PDP is gathering momentum to re- capture power as an alternative to APC. God forbid!," he said.
