The Muslims in Ebira land have deviated to Christianity ignorantly. The explanation why i'm asserting here is that in the Qur’an, Hadith and the Prophet that we're all following, it is not written anywhere that there is Shi’ite, Izala, Terriqqa, Tijanniyah, Salafiya, Ahmadiyya, Quraniyu or any other sect in Islam. God informed us to obey the five pillars of Islam and obey him because the only God.

“this is the same message He sent to Christians of historical through Jesus Christ who we call Prophet Isa. however, contemporary day Christians have today became their faith the other way up. The Ebira Muslim Ummah has nowadays became their faith to the way of up to date day Christians on account of this Imamate situation. there is nothing like that in Islam. What they're doing is contemporary Christianity”.

Efforts via the presenter to lure him returned to line saw him retorting. “Don’t be in a rush. I even have a explanation for announcing that as a result of i'm heading someplace. Even you will nevertheless ought to go and determine your Bible today.

Jesus informed Christians that there is just one God who created him. which you can assess this within the Bible booklet of Deuteronomy 6:4. Jesus said and that i quote;

‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one’. Jesus instructed the ancient period Christians within the publication of Mark 12:19 when he turned into asked about God that; ‘Hear O’ Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one’. nevertheless in the booklet of Mark 10:32, the Israelites affirmed what Jesus had been telling them, announcing, ‘O trainer, you stated it and also you are right. The Lord our God is one’.

“seem to be, Jesus turned into a Muslim. any one who is worshipping God in Ebira land recognize that every one we have stated now is Islam. There is no other god however Allah alone and there's none beside Him, in accordance with the Qur’an. The identical component that Jesus spoke of then is what the Qur’an has said now.

“It changed into after Jesus died that Saint Barnabas and Paul stood up and coined the observe Christian, to imply Christ-like, lengthy after the demise of Jesus Christ. that is the Christian religion that people are following today. That was not the faith of Jesus and that's what these struggling to turn into Imam are bringing into Islam nowadays”, Asuku declared.

He talked about the governor will not have been concerned within the difficulty of chosing an Imam were it now not for he fact that as the State’s Chief executive, the protection and well-being of the society rests on his shoulders.

“We received’t sit down down and enable Ebira land to be engulfed in crisis, otherwise the governor is too huge to return home and be participating within the manner of deciding upon an Imam”, he mentioned in the forty four minutes, 20 seconds video.

He queried why the people could be trying to find imaginary fault traces within the administration as a substitute of hailing the governor “for seeing during the facade called Covid-19 and preserving his people thus”.

Understandably, the feedback haven't long past down neatly with many americans in the enviornment who accused the governor’s facet of trying to stoke an inter-spiritual crisis having failed to get to the bottom of the disaster concerning who turns into the chief Imam of the Okene critical Mosque.
