The Senior pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa has declared thst “Nigerians need Jesus Christ not AstraZeneca vaccine.”
Pastor Giwa stated this in a statement on Monday, while reacting to the vaccination of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, who both received a shot of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday.
The cleric called on the government to stop the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination exercise, noting that Osinbajo should know better than his “boss that the name of Jesus cures all diseases.”
He quoted 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 to support his assertion and said: “Let me tell the president and the vice that Nigerians need Jesus Christ not a vaccine.
“I am sure you won’t try to collect food from destiny killers because if you do, you will die before your appointed time.
“Over the years, these people have shown us that they are our enemies and do not want our progress. Do you know how many people dying of hunger on a daily basis?
“A woman rushed to the church a few days ago, crying and asking for just N2,000 to buy stuffs for her children.
“What baffles me was that she says her 5-year-old child had earlier died of malnutrition and wouldn’t want the same scenario repeat itself.
“Hunger has killed a lot of people in Nigeria compared to foreign disease such as coronavirus. For how long will they continue to deceive themselves?
“A citizen of a country is ready to die for his country when he knows that the system is working well. On the contrary, the citizens of Nigeria keep crying for good governance.
“The covid-19 vaccine is worse than a poison; we must not allow ourselves to be fooled. You can’t display malaria injections on live television to deceive the people.
“If they don’t want us to die of coronavirus by introducing a vaccine as claimed, they would have crushed criminal fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram killing our people without bringing them to justice.
“Between coronavirus and hunger, which one would you tackle first? You are sick in the head if you allow yourself to be deceived. Please, run to Jesus Christ.”
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has stated that COVID-19 vaccination certificate will “very soon” become a mandatory requirement to travel anywhere in the world.
