Group slams Sowore over attack on Christain leaders
The Concerned Christian Youth Forum has slammed a former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, over his verbal attacks on some Christian leaders.
In a statement on Tuesday, the forum’s convener, James Adama, described Sowore’s recent attacks on some Nigerian pastors as disrespectful and unacceptable.
The statement added, “To label our Fathers of Faith and Pastors as failures, uneducated, or jobless is preposterous, egregiously disrespectful, and therefore, unacceptable. The time has come to put an end to Sowore’s incessant attacks on the Christian Faith and her reputable leaders.
“It is a shame that Sowore has chosen to denigrate the accomplishments and contributions of some of the most revered Fathers of our Faith and Pastors in our country, each of whom has achieved remarkable success in their respective fields. These Christian leaders possess impressive academic achievements, not to talk of their years of service and devotion to their calling.
“Sowore should reflect on the fact that these individuals are not only spiritual leaders but also intellectual heavyweights who have earned the respect and admiration of millions worldwide. Sowore’s insults are not grounded in reality but rather in ignorance and hate. His insults further confirm that he is an uncouth, uncultured and unlearned man who is desperately seeking attention and relevance.
“We urge Sowore to rethink his approach and refrain from further attacks against Christianity and her leaders. The Concerned Christian Youth Forum will not stand idly by and watch our Faith and leaders disrespected and maligned by Sowore.
“In conclusion, we, the Concerned Christian Youth Forum, stand in solidarity with our Christian Leaders and our Faith. We will not tolerate any further attacks against them, and we will continue to defend their honor and integrity.”
