Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has shared a video in which he questioned the response of some church leaders to the reported killings of Christians in parts of the country.
In the video, the singer expressed concern over what he described as the silence of pastors while their followers continue to suffer.
“Why are Nigerian pastors not fighting for Christians?” Portable said. “They use bulletproof cars yet their followers are dying.”
He went on to ask why religious leaders were not taking a more visible stand, including leading public demonstrations to the seat of government.
“Why can’t pastors lead protest to the Aso Rock?” he asked.
Portable contrasted what he described as reactions from other faith communities with what he believes happens when Christians are attacked.
“You can’t harm a Muslim and there won’t be chaos. If you kill a traditionalist, there will be crisis. But if you kill a Christian, the pastor will look away and continue enjoying in his car,” he said.
