Census, election results of northern Nigeria fraudulent: Pastor

enior Pastor of the House on the Rock Church Lagos, Paul Adefarasin, says census and election results of northern Nigeria are fraudulent.

“The numbers in Nigeria as far as census and election are concerned are a lie,” Mr Adefarasin said in his recent sermon, a video of which is circulating online.

While citing a series of problems facing the country, he explained that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was “a fraud,” as figures presented during elections were inaccurate.

Mr Adefarasin said, “I’ve mentioned the economy. I’ve mentioned culture. I’m gonna (sic) go into politics and government deliberately. By the way, if you don’t fix some of Nigeria’s problems today, that is this INEC problem; I will say plainly, INEC is a fraud.

“If nobody would speak up about it, the righteous should speak, and righteousness is not by ourselves. It is of him (God).

“This is the only country in West Africa when you move to the ocean through the desert, and the numbers decrease or rather the only country in the world that you move to a large number (sic) of water or little or no water and the numbers increase.”

To the cleric, the then-colonial administrator of the country, Frederick Lugard, caused the problems by amalgamating the northern and southern regions.

He described Mr Lugard as ”devil incarnate,” noting that Nigerians currently suffer from what he did many years back.
