*\u00a0Bishop asks Jonathan to intervene<\/p>\n

By Emmanuel Aziken & Ola Ajayi<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader, Senator George Akume, has assured Christians that the Senate would not shortchange them on the controversial Islamic banking. The senator spoke just as a cleric, Bishop Taiwo Adelakun, asked President Goodluck Jonathan to weigh the consequences of allowing the model of banking in a multi-religious setting like Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Speaking on the final day of the three-day men\u2019s convocation programme in Gboko, Benue State yesterday, Akume nevertheless charged Nigerian Christians to uphold the political leadership of the country in prayers. He\u00a0 requested for\u00a0 forgiveness for the mistakes committed by the political leaders.<\/p>\n

Akume\u2019s request came as bible teacher, Mr. Gbile Akanni charged Christians to apply diligence at whatever secular posting they find themselves. According to him, the biblical Daniel was an example of a God fearing man who distinguished himself despite the machinations of wolves around him.<\/p>\n

Akume was a special guest at the retreat organised by Peace House that drew thousands from across the country and abroad.<\/p>\n

Adelakun, speaking in Ibadan, advised Jonathan to weigh the consequences of allowing the proposed Islamic banking in a multi-religious society like Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He spoke at a media chat preparatory to the\u00a0 23rd convention of Victory International Church\u00a0\u00a0 at its Oluyole extension headquarters, Ibadan.<\/p>\n

He said part of the wonders God would show in the country would be revealed at the convention, entitled, \u201cSigns and Wonders Today\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
