Face your callings, steer clear of our matter, IPOB warns Apostle Suleman

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned Nigerian televangelist and Senior Pastor cum General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, to restrain from any comments on IPOB or Igbo nation saying that such will not be tolerated any more.

It called on pastors to know their limits, saying that it does not want to have issues with any man of God.

IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said: “The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, under the command of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the unprovoked verbal attack and ranting by Apostle Johnson Suleiman against IPOB and the enterprising Igbo nation.

“It is a puzzle that a man of God will abandon his calling and resort to attacking a nation without any cause.

“We don’t intend to join issues with Apostle Suleiman and his likes such as Tunde Bakare but our message to them is very unambiguous: They should steer clear from any matter concerning IPOB or the great Igbo race. Let them concentrate on their apostolic calling and restrain from unguarded utterances or vituperations on subjects beyond them.”

While wondering when unguarded utterance against IPOB and the Igbo nation became part of Suleiman’s calling, the group said that men of God in the Bible days were never known for political controversies.
