Senior Pastor and Founder of The Covenant Nation, Poju Oyemade has been bullied into deleting a controversial tweet that many people inferred was directed at the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi.
In the post shared on the microblogging platform Twitter, Oyemade spoke about the enthusiasm of youths, which according to him, shouldn’t be wasted on poorly planned projects.
While making a reference to the scripture, the clergyman said no man goes to battle without taking stock first nor lays the foundation of a tower without counting the cost, else he would be mocked.
He wrote: “Without having real evidence upon which you are acting or preparing for the task, recognising real obstacles that lie ahead and making concrete plans, one is just being delusional about the outcome. The enthusiasm of the youth must not be wasted on poorly planned projects.”
“Noah spent months/years planning for the flood and he was operating in faith. Jesus said no man goes to battle without taking stock first nor lays the foundation of a tower without counting the cost first lest he will be mocked. Our faith is intelligent and doesn’t live in denial.”
Although Poju didn’t mention Peter Obi’s name, many supporters inferred that it was directed at Peter Obi whose main supporters are youths.
