Why GEJ Didn't Say Amen To Anti- Corruption Prayer.

Abuja– Spokesperson for President
Jonathan Ebele Goodluck, Mr Reuben Abati,
has responded to accusations that Jonathan
and members of his cabal refused to say
amen to at this weekend’s democracy day
Church Service when the preacher offered a
prayerful curse against corruption amongst
public officials.
Speaking to reporters, Mr Abati revealed
aspects of protocol that are not widely
known outside Government circles, and
which would explain why Mr President and
ministers didn’t say Amen to the prayer by
Most Reverend Peter Akinola, committing
corrupt politicians to the court of God.
According to him, it is a long standing
presidential protocol that during Church or
Mosque services, the President only offers a
fixed number of amens or amis, as the case
may be.
The Reverend had offered many prayers and
demanded many amens prior to the
contentious one, Abati explained, the result
of which was that the day’s quota of amens
had been used up.
“Why?” asked the spokesperson, “would
President not say amen to a prayer against
corruption?”
He advised preachers, pastors, imams etc, to
familiarise themselves with government
protocol and to also limit the length of their
prayers and sermons.
“It is the same people accusing the
President of not saying amen to anti-
corruption prayer that would be accusing
him of favouritism if he had broken with
protocol and said more amens than is
allowed by constitution,” Abati said.

Hmmm,so we now have Amen limit in our constitution...na God go help this nation.
