2019: Festus Adedayo Explains Why People May Revolt If Church Shows Apathy
">

A former Special Adviser on Media to the former Enugu and current Oyo State governors, Dr. Festus Adedayo, has said there may be a revolt among the congregation, if the church does not get involved in the election of God-fearing persons into government in the 2019 elections.

Adedayo spoke in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, where he delivered a lecture at the seminar series of the Ibadan Anglican Church Diocese at the Comfort Akinfenwa Events Hall, Molete.

Dignitaries at the evenjt included the Bishop of Ibadan Anglican Diocese, The Most Revd Joseph Akinfenwa.

Adedayo noted that because governments are proving incapable of and are showing helplessness at solving people’s problems, they run to the church for succour.

He said: “Governments are literally throwing their hands up in surrender. The perils and pains are proving intractable for secular powers that be to handle. Unemployment has reached a crescendo; economic, health and social crises have proven really indomitable, in spite of coordinated attempts to tackle them.

“Hopelessness is becoming infectious, like a pestilence, and the world, which had made governments and technology its hope, is returning to the church for the way out of its existential dilemma.”

According to him, if Nigeria is not successful at electing God-fearing men and women into positions of power in 2019, the pressure on the church would multiply, probably lead to a revolt of immense proportion.

Adedayo said: “As predicted in II Timothy 3:1, which says, ‘But know this, that in the last days, perilous times will come,’ the perilous times are actually here. Science and technology are profoundly incapable of providing solutions to the pains suffered by humanity. The perilous times are the existential void, agony and crises that man undergoes today.

“The pains man underwent decades ago are little compared to his challenges today. The church is still where people frequent for solutions to these existential crises and where they get ‘spiritual fixes’ whenever they get to inexplicable crossroads of their lives.”‎
