Uranta tackles Pastor Chris Okotie over comments on Jonathan 

 

 

Executive Secretary of the United Niger Delta Energy Security Strategy (UNDESS), Mr Tony Uranta, has cautioned Pastor Chris Okotie against making utterances that can affect national peace, describing his actions as anti-Christ.

Uranta, a member of the defunct Presidential Advisory Committee on National Dialogue, gave the counsel on Sunday, in a statement made available to newsmen in Lagos, saying Okotie’s unsubstantiated false utterances against the country’s leadership was unbecoming of a man who claimed to be a “man of God.”

Okotie, the founder and presiding pastor of Household of God Church International Ministries, had, on Friday, wrote on his Facebook Account, that President Goodluck Jonathan’s declaration for the 2015 presidential election on November 11, 2014 had occultic significance.

“The implication of Dr Jonathan’s declaration on that day (11-11-2014) has occult significance. When the number is repeated, it takes a greater ritualistic intensity,” he said.

Uranta, while urging those close to Okotie to advise him “to stop uttering nonsensical partisan politics gibberish, and toe the true line of a pastor for the sake of his followers, said it was a shame that one who claimed to serve God should make such an utterance based on his personal belief in numbers which in itself was anti-Christianity. ”The practice of Christianity is neither superstitious nor does it give meanings to mere dates.

“We support the second term ticket of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, but know that he is not perfect as no man is except God.
