Insecurity: We need roundtable discussion before it is too late —Olubo

Despite the efforts of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and some churches to express their grievance of the on consistent attack on Christians in the country, the president recently claimed that the victims of Boko Haram attacks were 90 per cent Muslims. How would you react to this?

The statement from the presidency is evidence that there is confusion in the seat of power and the image-makers of the president are not helping matters. If the president could stand to claim that the victims of Boko Haram are 90 per cent Muslims, it shows he is a biased person. Look at the way they killed the CAN chairman in the north and nothing was done about it. Also, see the reaction that trailed the South-West security outfit, Operation Amotekun, by the Northerners.

To what effect do you think the recently launched security outfit, Operation Amotekun, would curb security problems?

The development is a welcome idea and a wake-up call for the South-West people. It is sad that our system is not organised. We don’t have any structure; no respect for human beings in Nigeria. Before the president came into office in 2015, our national debt was N12.25 trillion and as at today, we owe close to N25 trillion. The leadership of the country claimed to have spent so much on the security of the country, yet we cannot see the result. The influx of Hausa in Lagos is terrifying, who is accommodating them, feeding them, where do they get money to buy okada. Above all, we will not give up. We will continue in our prayers.

What do you think is the way out of all these crises in the country?

All region should go back to the drawing board, there is a need a for roundtable discussion. Igbo have a different mindset for Nigeria, the Yoruba also have a different mindset for Nigeria, the same as the Hausa. What we need now is sovereignty. We have already identified our problems and it is clear that the government does not have the mindset to solve them. We need to go back to the drawing board for a new road map to solve these problems. What we are going through in Nigeria is too much. The church also has a role to play in this. Some clerics are even worse. So many things have gone wrong in the society.

Do you think CAN is still performing its responsibilities to protect Christians from attacks?

They cannot do it alone and some church leaders in the country are selfish. Everybody is protecting their empire, they refuse to speak with one voice, They only react when things start to get out of hand

You have devoted your life in impacting people’s lives with special programmes and charity.

This is my calling and I have ensured not to deviate from the call. I hear from God on what to do and He has used me in many ways to impact people’s lives through various evangelical prgrammes. In fact, we have an ongoing event tagged: “Covenant Month for Fruitfulness,” which commenced on February 2 and will end on February 23. We are creating an atmosphere for people to profit through the manifestation of the spirit of God. Last December, we catered for hundreds of widows and we also have several programmes aside prayers and deliverance sessions.
