INTERVIEW: Christians are not against Buhari’s government – Bishop Francis Wale Oke
Bishop Wale Oke is no doubt one of the leading Pentecostal voices in the nation. With over three decades in God’s vineyard, the cleric, whose Ibadan-based Sword of the Spirit Ministries has been a force to reckon with in Christendom, believes that the just concluded presidential election was a contest of no victor no, no vanquished.
In a recent INTERVIEW with DAILY POST’s AMEH COMRADE GODWIN, the soft-spoken preacher, who also doubles as National vice president of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, in charge of South West, assured the president-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari that the Christian body is not against his government.
Bishop Oke, while congratulating President Jonathan for accepting defeat, called on other politicians to follow the trend by congratulating their opponents after elections.
He also spoke on other germane issues concerning the nation.
Excerpts

Adeboye@75: Silent celebration of a loud day
It was Pastor E.A. Adeboye’s birthday and the 31st anniversary of the monthly Holy Ghost Service of the Redeemed Christian Church of God on March 2. The service is always heavily attended, a part reason for a 3-kilometre-by-3-kilometre auditorium called The Arena. But people who had taken a cue from the 75-hour non-stop praise of the Lord to expect fanfare and cake-cutting during the week arrived the Arena to the usual service, the birthday having been celebrated privately. Pastor Adeboye is not known to put himself in God’s way or share in God’s glory or time. In fact, preachers at the service on March 2, were youths from four zones of the church.
On the second day, when he preached, the only direct reference to a birthday celebration was a message from the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, delivered by Bishop Wale Oke, who has known Pastor Adeboye from the first day the celebrant taught him mathematics at the University of Lagos, some 40 years ago.
The third day was an anointing service, but the day after there was a thanksgiving service, at the end of which Pastor Adeboye gave thanks.
