More reactions are still trailing Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s ‘Jesus joke’ which he retweeted on Twitter earlier today (read his apology HERE)
First, it was Professor Pat Utomi, who slammed his actions saying “I’m at a loss for words! We should draw the line somewhere? The most Sacred of names must never be desecrated an the altar of politics. PU.”
A cleric, Dr. Thomas Agande, has joined in condemning the act, calling it “a very insensitive, irresponsible, and a offensive thing to say about Christ, and an attack on the sensibilities of Christians globally”.
Here is his full statement:
EL-RUFAI DEFILES JESUS CHRIST ON TWITTER…
Earlier today, in his futile attempt to defend Mrs Oby Ezekesili , former FCT minister , Mallam Nasir El-Rufai derided Christians by the use of intimate epithets when referring to our Lord Jesus Christ. He simply defiled Christ on twitter
He went overboard when, on his Twitter page, today January 27, 2013, said our Lord Jesus Christ Were Intimate with Mary Magdalene.
We see this as a very insensitive, irresponsible, and a offensive thing to say about Christ, and an attack on the sensibilities of Christians globally.
El-Rufai betrayed his lack of respect for our Lord Jesus Christ and obvious hatred for Christians. How else can one explain his effrontery and buffoonery when he seemingly jokingly twitted that Christ Were Intimate with Mary Magdalene.
El-Rufai who aspires rule a multi religious nation, should have been circumspect in his use of words when referring to the sacred.
It is on record that less offensive things have been said about the Prophet Mohammed which led to loss of Christian lives.
The former minister has just told Nigerians that he lacks the decency to rule a multi religious nation, if he should display such disrespect for the sacred and thinks it is funny.His Tweet shows he is not a decent man.
He has disregarded the collective sensibilities of Christians all over the world by this very offensive reference to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Signed,
Dr Thomas Agande.
