Kperogi's skewed reasoning and the RCCG directorate

By Ezechukwu Christian

Labelling Farooq Kperogi a journalist is nothing but ridicule to the noble profession. You cannot be a journalist when all you spew is lies and fake news. He has no sense of duty to carry out basic fact checking. Even an 100 level student at the Nigeria Institute of Journalism will do better than Farroq, no wonder all the students that have passed through him at Kennesaw State University have come to nought.

Away from the questionable character to his ludicrous attempt to tell everyone and every organisation what to do and how to do it. His latest rant was a hole-riddled, pre-school outburst directed at the Redeeemed Christian Church of God and the decision of the church to set up a Directorate of Politics.

As it is with fickle-minded folks like Kperogi, this was done mainly because of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo. You will recall that Kperogi and his minnions have said that APC will not zone its presidential ticket to the Southwest, so on what platform will Osinbajo be contesting, if we are to take this garbage by Kperogi seriously?

Before we come to that permutation, does this so called journalist realise that for Osinbajo to emerge APC candidate, he needs to go through a party primary? How many RCCG members are delegates in the APC? In fact, how many RCCG members have voters card?

Kperogi's religious mediocrity and sentiments which is often the bedrock of his directionless articles was brought to fore again. He quickly tried to make it a Christian vs Muslim thing, not knowing that many Muslims are rooting for Osinbajo already.

I'm not a Catholic and not a big of Osinbajo or the RCCG but for how long do we want to continue with this type of hate-induced narrative?

Is Kperogi aware of some of the things the VP has been doing in the north for years? Does he think these poorly written articles will change the minds of thousands of Nigerians?

I will advise him to stick to the issues but like many Nigerians we know he is incapable of doing that.

For now, I will urge more religious outfits like RCCG to set up similar directorates. Even more important, is to teach governance.

We need to educate our people on how government works, who should we hold for what and how can we make Nigeria better.

As for Kperogi, he can stay in the US and be barking orders at the RCCG as if they will take him seriously.
