Amid worsening economic hardship and hunger in the country, a social critic and human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, says she knew politicians would deploy clerics to confuse Nigerians.
Yesufu was reacting to a statement credited to an Abuja cleric and Senior Pastor of the Shepherd House Assembly International, Reverend Joshua Talena, that the current global unrest signals the approaching end times.
The cleric during a Sunday service in Abuja, emphasized that the scriptures foretold of widespread unrest, wickedness, hunger, and other evils in the final days.
Talena also pointed to insecurity in certain regions of the country as evidence of the end times, urging congregants not to lose hope.
However, Yesufu said she knew a time would come when they (referring to political leaders) will deploy the clerics.
She said: “I knew they will soon deploy the clerics!
“Didn’t the Prophet (SAW) tell us that signs of last days will include everyone being so rich that who to give Zakkah to will become a challenge to find?”
