“This Is Not His Calling”- Mike Bamiloye Defends Pastor Adeboye Amid Protest Calls

Nigerian cleric Mike Bamiloye has come to the defense of Pastor Enoch Adeboye amid growing criticism from Nigerians over the handling of insecurity in the country.

Some Nigerians had called on Adeboye to lead a protest against the government in response to the rising insecurity. However, Bamiloye dismissed the expectations, arguing that it is unreasonable to expect an 84-year-old man of God to spearhead public demonstrations against any administration, given both his age and spiritual calling.

He further explained that Adeboye’s involvement in a past protest on February 2, 2020, during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, was carried out based on directives from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).

According to him, the primary duty of pastors is to consistently pray for national peace and seek divine intervention in governance rather than engage in political protests.

His words…

“This is what he said. Many bloggers saw this, but they would project it onto others. But he spoke against the Evils.

And for all those who are expecting an 84-year-old man, Servant of God, to lead a Protest against a Government, this does not make sense by virtue of his age and by the Mandate of His Calling. And for all those who said he led a Protest against Jonathan on February 2nd 2010, it was the instruction of the CAN and PFN for every church to stage a protest against INSECURITY in the nation, and he complied and led his denomination too, just as some other churches did.

Our major responsibility as the Church of God is to continually pray for the peace of our Nation and the intervention of God in the Government. I TIMOTHY 2:1-3″.
