Na wa o! See as this pastor matter don turn soap opera for Akwa Ibom state! Rev Yinka Yusuf, wey sabi gather people for him crusade, don comot video wey dey cause wahala. Na him dey accuse Akwa Ibom people say dem be ‘slaves’ and ‘poor people’. Chai! Like say na slavery dey happen for their land, abi?
This matter come be like soap opera as di Akwa Ibom State Government no gree rest. Dem don vex say him no fit hold him Uyo One Million Crusade, wey him don set since September 2025. Na when dem sabi say he wan hold di crusade, di government just lock him up for wahala. Dem come talk say him comments be hate speech. E be like say dem no go take am lightly, o!
In di video wey dey make round, Yusuf show say e no just dey pour salt for injury; him even talk say Na dem get ancestral demon wey dey control things for Calabar and Uyo. Chai! Omo, see dey talk! Na because of this matter wey him don land for hot water, him come rush drop apology video say him no mean am like dat. E talk say: ‘I love the good people of Akwa Ibom. This matter no be about to insult anyone.’ I swear, if na me, I go dey think twice before I talk like dis next time!
As di story dey unfold, Yusuf don share how dem scatter him plans because of another event wey dem organize for same time with another preacher from Kenya. E dey reason am say: ‘Dem dey try make me delay my crusade just because of dis one.’ Dis one wey e dey talk, e dey throw shade small, but na wetin we no go fit ignore.
While he dey apologize, he don clear say di government and church bodies no get right to call am out like dat. Na wetin he come through say people no understand di context of wetin he talk during prayer session. Gist dey go round say dem don finish am for social media already. Di thing don dey kolo for people eyebrow; dem dey ask, is dis wahala a spiritual attack on di Gospel?
Imagine say after all di wahala wey no gree give am venue, Yusuf come find alternative place for University of Uyo. Dis one fit pass for big comedy for Naija. E don wise up now, say no need to follow dem back and forth when dem don choose another option.
