In a revelatory book penned by Femi Adesina, former Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, startling details emerge about prominent pastors allegedly campaigning and praying for Buhari's failure during the 2015 election and continuing their efforts after he assumed office.
Adesina recounts the extensive rhetoric and hate campaigns orchestrated by religious figures, fueled by the political atmosphere set by former President Goodluck Jonathan's church visits to secure votes in the 2015 election.
The book unveils instances of explicit hostility from some pastors, along with accusations of curses and prophetic declarations against the Buhari government. Adesina also sheds light on his own experience of leaving a church where the pastor exhibited strong anti-Buhari sentiments.
The book, with 488 pages, is expected to generate controversies and challenges from those named in various facets of the Buhari government.
