President Muhammadu Buhari’s media adviser Femi Adesina says majority of Nigerian pastors are far from making heaven because they curse President Muhammadu Buhari regime in their sermons.

Mr Adesina said except they are “born again again”, majority of Nigerian pastors cursing Buhari regime will not make heaven.

Christians the world over consider making heaven, an eternal restplace, their ultimate goal in the life after.

“Irrespective of the titles they bear, I hear Bishops, Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Evangelists, cursing the government, and issuing doomsday notices,” Mr Adesina said in an article published on his Facebook page on Thursday night.

“Without sitting in judgment over anybody, I just believe that majority of our preachers need to be born again again. If what we hear them preach and teach is anything to go by, they need to be born again again. Otherwise, Heaven seems to be very far away,” he added.

Mr Adesina, a pastor of the Foursquare Gospel Church himself, while accusing Nigerians pastors of supporting #EndSARS protester, said he stopped attending his church in Abuja after his pastor began behaving like someone who wants to bring the Buhari regime down.

“I used to attend a church in Abuja from 2015 to 2018, till the pastor began to see himself as someone who must bring the Buhari government down,” Mr Adesina said.

“Sunday after Sunday, it was all sorts of criticism from the pulpit. But I endured, since it was branch of a church I had attended for over 30 years,” he added.
