Fani-Kayode waxes spiritual as he disagrees with Osinbajo

THE ARCHITECTS OF TERROR AND THE FATHERS OF HATE
By Femi Fani-Kayode.
In reaction to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo’s promise to treat what he described as “hate speech” as terrorism Mr. Jackson Ude the publisher of Pointblank News said the following.
“APC thrived on hate speech between 2014-2015. Today that seed they sowed is haunting them. They now say it’s terrorism! Don’t be deceived. APC came to power by hate speeches, divided Nigeria along ethnic and religious lines, sowed seeds of discord and blamed PDP! Hypocrites!”
How apt and how courageous Mr. Ude’s assertion is.  I could not have put it better myself.
President Muhammadu Buhari, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, National Chairman Chief John Odigie Oyegun and all the other leaders of the APC are indeed a bunch of self-serving deceivers and self-seeking hypocrites.
Worst of all they are the architects of terror and the fathers of hate!
Permit me to send a strong word and warning to them from here: YOURS ARE THE WAYS OF BULLIES AND FASCISTS! WE CANNOT BE INTIMIDATED BY YOUR PENDING LEGISLATION OR YOUR PUERILE BARRACK-ROOM TACTICS AND NEITHER SHALL WE BE SILENCED. YOU CAME TO POWER BY HATE AND YOU WILL LEAVE IT WITH HATE!

I could go on and on.
Is there any shameful, disgusting, undeserved and malevolent label or any insulting adjective and bestial nomenclature that the APC and their friends have not employed or applied to those that have gallantly opposed their tyranny and hegemony?
Is there any sickening lie that they have not told about their perceived enemies and detractors?
Is there any life that they have not sought to scar, endanger and threaten? Is there any family that they have not used their associates in the media to malign and to incite the Nigerian people against?
Is there any slander, libel, fabrication, disinformation, misinformation, misrepresentation and hateful and destructive lie that they have not indulged in?
We know and hear all these things and we laugh them to scorn. It is like water off a duck’s back and it takes nothing whatsoever from us because Nigerians know the truth and they are far wiser than these professional APC haters and agents of destruction think.
The fact of the matter is that lions pay no heed when goats bleat and when cattle murmur. Dragons lose no sleep when the cock begins to crow and tigers do not concern themselves with the insults and opinions of sheep.
Whichever way they want to play it, whatever they do and whatever they say the APC will continue to get as good as they dished out to others over the last four years.
We are not intimidated by their threats of labelling us as terrorists and their crude attempt to intimidate and silence us.
This is because resisting tyranny and evil is a divine obligation. We shall continue to call a spade a spade and a tyrant a tyrant no matter what they say or do and we are prepared to pay whatever price may come with it. We cannot be muzzled and we shall not be silenced.
To the faithful and true I say the following: we must shed our fears and we must never forget that the Lord is with us.
We must never forget that even though they may have today, we have tomorrow.
We must be focused, we must be strong and we must be bold knowing that we serve a God who is mighty in battle and who never fails.
He is the El Shaddai and the Elohim. He is the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
He is the Lord of Hosts, the God of the Armies of Israel and the Ancient of Days.
He is our shield, our glory and the lifter of our heads. He is awesome in battle and His banner over us is love.
With Him, victory is ours and our enemies shall be brought to heel and crushed under our feet like the desert sand.
We lift our swords in the name of Jehova Perazim, we raise our shields in the name of Jehova Elyon and we march forth into battle in the name of Yahweh, the Lord of the Universe, knowing that glory, honor and victory and the blessings of the Most High God await us!
His precious love and faithfulness, from whom none can separate us, shall overcome the  malice and overwhelm the evil of the architects of terror and the fathers of hate.
