Christians by mouth, devil in heart – Oshiomhole tackles Babachir Lawal

Adams Oshiomhole, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has replied the former former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal.

The former chairman has reacted to comments by SGF, Babachir Lawal over the party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.

The former governor of Edo state said the people of Nigeria need to differentiate between a Christian by mouth and a devil by heart.

The former Edo governor wondered why the former SGF, who was accused of a grass cutting scandal, could speak against APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Oshiomhole while speaking on a television session reaffirmed that the APC flag bearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a better Christian.

He stressed that that the former governor of Lagos state has been married to a Christian and female pastor for almost 40 years with children practicing both Christian and Muslim faith.

According to Oshiomhole: “Evil people who are on record are being prosecuted for misappropriating money that a Muslim president appropriated in favour of Christian children that were displaced and were converted to grass-cutter, have become the new voice of Christianity.

“We must make a distinction between Christian by mouth and devil by heart who want to see Nigeria engulfed in a war nobody can win.

“Who is a better Christian in the Nigerian contest? Somebody like Asiwaju who has a Christian wife of about 40 years with no record of divorce, with four or five children; some are Christians and others Muslim.

“That is an example of what a nation should be.”

MOUTHPIECE NGR observes that Lawal had spoken against Tinubu’s decision to choose the former governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

The former SGF revealed that Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket was a plot to Islamize the country.
