The Spiritual father/Chairman, Cherubim & Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide, Ayo Ni O, Most Rev. Samuel Abidoye, has urged Tinubu and Ambode to avoid any action that will cause crisis in Lagos.
He said the state must continue to have peace, adding that Lagos was strategic to Nigeria.
Abidoye, represented by the International Organising Committee chairman of the church, Pastor Nathaniel Ayakanmi, spoke on Wednesday on the sidelines of the church pastor council summit in Kwara State.
The cleric appealed to Tinubu to continue being a stabiliser in Lagos politics and act according to God’s dictates and for the benefit of the people.
He warned against imposition, adding that the people should be allowed to elect their leaders.
He said, “Nobody should impose leaders on anybody no matter how powerful you are. You should not forget this fact that you are there today because God allowed you to be there.
“They should not put fire in Lagos. Lagos is the centre of Nigeria. Although Abuja is the headquarters, Lagos is the centre and if there is fire in Lagos, it will affect every part of Nigeria.”
The C&S leader also admonished President Muhammadu Buhari and the presidential aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party not to overheat the polity.
Pa Abidoye advised them to shun violence and a do-or-die approach to their ambition.
He also urged Nigerian leaders to avoid self-serving interest and deliver dividends of democracy to Nigerians. (Punch)
