Metro Ambode 'Sacks' Lagos Chaplain For Disrespecting Wife During Anointing Service

[ProfRem]

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos state reportedly ordered the sack the Presiding Chaplain, Venerable Femi Taiwo.

According to PUNCH, Taiwo got the sack on Monday, May 15, without any query or official reason stated in the sack letter.

He was said to have been ordered out of his official quarters where he lived with his wife and two children within 24 hours of receiving the letter.

PUNCH gathered that Taiwo had angered the Governor’s wife, Bolanle Ambode, who had visited the chapel on Sunday, May 14, when the church held an anointing service.

The church is under the Lagos State Ministry of Home Affairs, while the Office of the Lagos State First Lady supervises church.



Church members were said to have filed out to receive anointing oil during the May 14 service without any preference given to Bolanle, who waited endlessly with her entourage.

She was said to have later moved to be anointed and moments later, stormed out of the church, as some of the women leaders ran after her.

Bolanle, who was reported to be visibly angry, allegedly shunned entreaties from the women, which included the wife of the presiding chaplain.

The cleric got the sack the following day.

This is sad but good to see the true face of temporary power

There's nothing good here. It's a plain arrogant abuse of power.

He's going into the black book of many Lagosians, despite the many infrastructure projects he's embarked on and completed.

It is always good when people show their true colours.

Who does the governor think he is or the wife before God that he wants it done in his way. I guess he's on some cheap drugs.

Our governor, the offspring of Ọba Akiolu

He knows the church system. The church has put herself in this position.

Lol....Anyway, God is merciful else his house would have been on fire by now.

True words...The so-called pastors nowadays have made themselves a caricature before these politicians who now throw their trash at the church of God.

Civil service or monarchical rule?

 

[Samuel Arua]

The wife of the governor actually stormed out of God's presence. Gov Ambode sacked God's presence from his administration 24 hours after conceiving in his mind sack the chaplain and less than 24 hours after writing/issuance of the sack letter and immediately the cleric received the letter.

 

[Samuel Arua]

This politicians should know that each time they appoint any man of God to government chaplaincy that they just acknowledged God in their leadership.

 

[Samuel Arua]

And this marks the fall with no rising of the Ambodes expect on true repentance.

 

[Samuel Arua]

If he claims to be like the biblical Saul then the pastor is prophet Samuel. So, his government has been taken from him and given to another, David.

 

[dammylas]

Amobode the power drunk. People will no longer respect you again for what you just did. Just because your wife wasn't anointed before others. Hmmm...Nawa o!
