Reverend Michael Adeyemi, of the African Church, Ifako Diocese has condemned dismissal of Venerable Femi Taiwo as the presiding Pastor of Chapel of Christ the light, Alausa as a result of the Sunday anointing service.
The clergy says Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, wife of Lagos state governor, should apologise over her actions which allegedly led to the dismissal of Femi Taiwo from the Church.
It was gathered that Ambode’s wife got angry over the refusal of the former chaplain to accord her respect during an anointing service.
Even a military regime did not contemplate such action, which he described as ungodly. Adeyemi said during an interview with newsmen in Lagos.
According to Adeyemi if Ambode or his wife knew the tenets of Christianity, they would not deal with Taiwo the way they did.
Reverend Adeyemi during the interview said “What has happened is a sacrilege and Mr Ambode should know that. We have been appreciating his efforts in Lagos. Why will he allow himself to get involved in such a trivial issue that can spoil his public image? The embarrassment they caused us has never happened to any other denomination. Even during the military era, this can never happen, we all fought for a Christian governor, what all these?
If Mrs Ambode is trying to cause divide and rule among the Christians, she should go ahead. We are not afraid of anything.
We understand that Mrs Ambode is also a pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, let her go and ask the RCCG Pastor, Enoch Adeboye, whether what she did was the right thing to do to a minister of God. It is ungodly and very sad.”
