Jonathan told me & Obasanjo he never wanted to be Vice-President - Donald Duke

   

Former governor of Cross River state Donald Duke says former President Jonathan told him and former president Obasanjo he never wanted to be the Vice president of Nigeria when he was selected to be the running mate to late President Umaru Yar'Adua for the 2007 general election. Donald Duke said this in an interview with news magazine, The Interviewer

"You don’t give authority to an unwilling person, particularly in a country like Nigeria. Umaru never wanted to be president. He was dealing with his health issues and wanted to retire and go lecture in a university. He was really offered an appointment at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. Jonathan, on the other hand, had just been re-elected to be governor of Bayelsa and when he was picked, he was not so pleased. He said to Obasanjo and me, ‘I don’t want this job". 

GOD'S WRATH: Bishop Oyedepo Curses Kidnappers & Their Sponsors

Following the kidnapping of a Winners Chapel Pastor in Calabar, Pastor Oyedepo of Living Faith Church Worldwide yesterday cursed all kidnappers in the country and their sponsors.

It was gathered that a Winners Chapel Pastor in Calabar, Cross River state was kidnapped on the 13th of June, 2015 and the kidnappers later contacted the church demanding for N60m ransom. Oyedepo however asked that he should be put online to talk to the kidnappers. When they eventually put him online, he asked if they knew whom they were talking to and they said yes, he then told them that they shall be cursed and whoever has sent them too shall be cursed. Frightened about the negative pronouncement, the kidnappers quickly released the Pastor without any ransom.

Still angry over the incident, Oyedepo spoke openly yesterday during the third service at Faith 

Tabernacle, Ota in Ogun State, saying, “As long as I am here in Christ, your endeavours in this country are cursed.” He then added: “For all of you who continually bring sorrow to families, I curse you and your sponsors,” the man of God said.
