Why General Buhari’s Government Is After Me and #FreeLeahSharibu

I woke up this morning to find out that the agents of the Buhari administration have changed their story. They initially lied that I received grants from foreign agencies and NGOs. When I publicly challenged them to provide evidence or at least name even one of these agencies, they changed their story and now claim that I visit churches to preach and collect money for #FreeLeahSharibu.


This new lie is as easily dismissed as their first lie. I have NOT preached in ANY church in the last 3 years, nor sold books at ANY church. I have NEVER collected even a penny from ANY church for #FreeLeahSharibu or ANY other activity, and I challenge these liars to show evidence that I did. I have close to a million followers on Twitter alone and hundreds of thousands more on Facebook and Instagram and I have advertised on those media for ANY church that has given me even one penny to please speak up. I am still waiting. Perhaps their imagined churches or NGOs are in Mars.

I was informed by a pastor in a very prominent ministry that my crime against the  Buhari government is that Leah Sharibu's mother's visited the US to appeal for #FreeLeahSharibu and that I also sponsored free #BusesForDemocracy to enable Nigerians vote in the 2019 elections

They took a decision to discredit me by all means because they felt embarrassed by the wide media coverage that Rubecca Sharibu, Leah’s mother, got in America. Maybe if they apply the energy they are using to attack me in rescuing Leah, I wouldn’t have to pursue #FreeLeahSharibu

To discredit me and make me abandon Leah Sharibu’s cause, they activated their agents and asked them to launch a COORDINATED attack against me and the #FreeLeahSharibu movement I founded. They FAILED yesterday. They are FAILING today and they will FAIL tomorrow, so help me God!

If, as they claim,  I enriched myself via #FreeLeahSharibu, let the Scripture below be my portion. If my accusers falsely accuse me, then let it be their portions in Jesus’ name. Amen.

"Evil will never leave the house of one who pays back evil for good."- Proverbs 17:13 #FreeLeahSharibu

My personal message to General Buhari is this: I will NEVER abandon #FreeLeahSharibu. I will NEVER keep quiet about the plight of the Body of Christ in Nigeria. And I will NEVER bow to you. In fact, both YOU and I will BOW to the ONLY God in existence: God of The Bible.

The reason I initially kept the money I raised for Leah Sharibu's family secret was because a Nigerian Senator begged me to do so. He was afraid that if I made it public, they could be kidnapped #FreeLeahSharibu is meant to HELP them, not hurt THEM

You can't please haters and you certainly can't please those who were paid by Buhari's government. If I keep quiet about how I gave ALL proceeds from my book on Leah to her parents, they will say I kept the money. If I reveal it, they will say I am a SHOW OFF #FreeLeahSharibu

To those who have collected money from the Buhari government to discredit me, I have only the word of God for you:

"The more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites"-Exodus 1:12

Finally, to those who have been paid to discredit me and the #FreeLeahSharibu campaign, you have FAILED. But more importantly, you will reap the spiritual and physical repercussions of your perfidy long after the money you were paid has been exhausted.
