Kaduna Governor, Mallam Nasir El Rufai has dared Apostle Johnson Suleman who had placed a curse of death on him over his anti-Christianity activities in Kaduna.
Apostle Johnson Suleman is the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, with headquarters in Auchi, Edo State. In a sermon on Sunday, March 13, 2016, Suleman had declared that either El Rufai reversed his unconstitutional religious preaching law or he would die.
Again on Sunday, March 27, 2016 Suleman made another declaration in which he branded El Rufai, the ‘Herod of Kaduna’ and declared that he would die.
In an interview with Sunday Punch, El Rufai challenged Suleman, a prophet made famous by his prophesy against Kogi politicians. He questioned the authenticity of Suleman as prophet and challenged Suleman to mention the date he (El Rufai) would die if “truly he is a prophet of God”.
“I have not seen anyone talking about Islam actually. Most of the people that say I would die, as if I would not die, are people who call themselves Christian clergy. Of course, I will die. If that apostle is truly an apostle, he should mention the day I will die,” El Rufai said.
The governor has come under harsh criticisms from Christian clergy around the country with prayer meetings held across the country over his plans to demolish a Christian community, Gbagyi in Kaduna. He maintained in the interview that he is not preventing freedom of worship or targeting Christians. Legal analysts have said that El Rufai’s religious preaching law is unconstitutional, it infringes on freedom of worship, and that it would be thrown out if challenged at the Supreme Court.
“There is nothing in that law that prevents or infringes the practice of religion. It seeks to ensure that those that preach religion are qualified, trained and certified by their peers to do it. And some sections of the media have made it as if the law was drafted against Christianity.
“It is most irresponsible and I have nothing to say except to leave the matter to God.”
