They have said it loud and clear in Lagos to our face, “go to church and see Muslims marching to take the state in their multitudes – Pastor Akinyemi reacts to MC Oluomo’s Lagos rally for Tinubu

Pastor Bolaji Akniyemi has reacted to the rally hosted by the former chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), MC Oluomo

On Sunday, Oluomo and other supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu marched in the state.The rally, attended by a huge crowd, started at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere and ended at Oshodi.

Akinyemi in a post on Facebook lamented how commuters, including congregrants, were trapped in traffic for hours because of a rally for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

He wrote: “A 5-million-man march on a Sunday morning at 8:00am in support of a Muslim ticket?

“Now they have said it loud and clear in Lagos to our face, “go to church and see Muslims marching to take the state in their multitudes.”

“Do they (Tinubu-APC followers) have the right to walk on a Sunday? Of course they do!

“But the point is made, Lagos has more people who have no business with church and wouldn’t mind a walk in exchange for worship on a Sunday!”

The cleric noted that the trek for Tinubu was like holding a major event in Kano on a Friday.

There have been calls for politicians and parties to recognize days that are special to religious persons during campaigns for the 2023 elections.
