Pastor Bosun Emmanuel speaks to Nigerian church

by Leading Reporters July 27, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

PASTOR Bosun Emmanuel, who earlier warned Nigerians about plans by a militant Fulani Islamic group to Islamise the country by force has emerged again, this time, cautioning the Church against the dangers of impending God’s judgment.

In a very lengthy statement recently, he said: “On Sunday, May 11, 2014, the Lord by His grace enabled me to deliver a message to Nigerian Christians, which became known as ‘THE WAKE-UP CALL.’ “Unfortunately, certain influential people arose amongst the Christians opposed the message. They did not foresee the consequences of their actions, consequences we are all witnessing today.

After the Wake-Up Call, the Lord made me deliver another message at the National Prophetic Conference in November 2016, that “Nigerian Christians are praying and fasting, but they are not repenting.” Based on that message, we started the annual National Prayer of Repentance in 2018.After the third iteration of the intercessory program, God spoke in February 2020 from Matthew 3: 8, “bring forth fruit meet for repentance”. In other words, produce evidence that the Nigeria Church has repented. If anyone has such evidence, as of today, January 2022, we are yet to see it.

“On July 1, 2016, the Lord gave me a message that He has released the spirit of Nebuchadnezzar into Nigeria to punish the rebellion of Nigerian Christians. The President of Nigeria will do whatever he wants, just like king Nebuchadnezzar. All these came to pass.

“God also said that His Word to Nigeria was Jeremiah 27. I delivered this message during the National Prophetic Conference in November 2016. I told the brethren that based on what God showed me, Buhari will not die like Sani Abacha and Umaru Yar’adua. I pointed out that if Nigerian Christians genuinely repent, Buhari will be removed by God. If the Christians do not repent, verse 7 of Jeremiah 27 shall overtake the land. Verse 7 says, “And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.”

Every attempt to make Nigerian Christians demonstrate repentance by judging evil, primarily within the Church, was resisted by some Church leaders and their supporters in the Church. Since God deals with His people through their leaders, the attitude of the Church leaders sealed the fate of Nigerian Christians and Nigeria as a country.

In June 2018, the Lord made me write and present a message at a Christian Conference that the Church should re-organize the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) before the end of 2018 or else the consequence on the Church and the country would be disastrous. After the Conference, I circulated the paper. Rather than re-organize CAN, Church officials gathered at a meeting in Abuja, later in the year, and made nought of the message and verbally assaulted the messenger. In 2019, the Church lost control of the national elections. In fact, the Church became the instrument used to hand over power again to enemies of Jesus Christ afflicting the land. We are all witnessing the consequences.

WHO OPENED THE GATES OF HELL?

Every attempt to close the gates of hell was resisted by some Church leaders who saw correction and admonition as challenge and affront to their temporal authority. Things do not just happen. For hell to have broken loose upon Nigeria, someone opened the gate.

It is time to shut the gate of hell and bring back the glory of God into the Nigerian Church. If there is no conscious effort to shut the gate of hell, then, hell will continue to widen itself and open its mouth without measure.

On April 12, 2021, the Lord told me to write a letter to 12 Christian leaders, that the problem of Nigeria is the “leadership crisis” in the Church. After sending the message to the 12 Church leaders, the letter was circulated to Christians and placed online as a witness. To date, none of the 12 Christian leaders has acknowledged the letter. I am also aware that some other brethren were also instructed by God to write letters to Church leaders on April 11, 2021, May 23, 2021, and on August 26, 2021.

On May 5, 2021, the Lord spoke that He was no longer interested in the repentance prayer of Nigerian Christians. Many of them only repent with their mouths but do not produce the fruit of repentance.  Therefore, He wanted to commence judgment. I should point out that the Lord did not tell me whom He was going to judge, how He was going to judge, or when He would commence the judgment.

One thing is clear, the Nigerian Church has been experiencing God’s indignation for many years without any attempt by those who constitute leadership in the Church to put the House of God in order. This indifference confirms the word of God in September 2013, that the Nigerian Church is an “irresponsible Church.”

God forbid that the Nigerian Church is repeating the sin of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas in Shiloh. It is time to bring back the glory of God into the Nigerian Church.

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more they will hate those that speak it.” Selwyn Duke

CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP

In all aspects of human endeavour, leadership is crucial. The Church is not an exception. If the people of God are not led or represented by God’s appointed candidate, Christians will suffer immensely. Therefore, in the next election of the President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in June 2022, Church leaders must be prayerful, submissive to the Holy Spirit, and conduct thorough background checks of every candidate. The Electoral College of CAN must do a thorough job. Christians must pay close attention to the election in CAN because whatever decision is taken there affects them. That is the office of the “Gate Keeper”’.

On Tuesday, May 22, 2018, God told me that the office of the President of CAN is the Office of the “Gatekeeper,” therefore, it must only be occupied by God’s appointed candidate. Any candidate that rigs election or bribes delegates to vote for him is not God’s candidate. Those who rig elections cannot claim to be ordained by God.

The mere fact that a Church leader bribes delegates to vote for him is the first sign that God did not call him into the office. If God did not call a man into an office, God will not give the man grace to succeed or be fruitful in the office. If God refuses to work with a leader, it is the followers who will suffer immeasurably.

The past few years have been traumatic for Nigerian Christians. We measure our losses in human blood and count it in loss of human lives.

If Nigerian Christians want the indignation of God to come to an end, they must insist on credible elections in CAN, and righteousness from the Church leaders. It is unfortunate that some Christian leaders, who should teach and promote TRUTH in the Church, are the very people misleading Christians, and twisting the truth in the Church. This is very unfortunate.

When the evils done in the Church were exposed, rather than execute judgment and condemn the evils, some Church leaders diverted attention by describing the whistle-blowers as “rebels.” You cannot paint innocent people with the brush that stained you before God. Those who expose evils in the Church are not rebels. It is those who do evil in the Church, the thieves, the serial liars, the violators of the Constitution of the Church, those who rig elections, the merchants in the sanctuary, and their supporters, those are the rebels, because they disobey God and bring calamity upon innocent Christians. It is because of these evil doers that God is angry with the land. The truth cannot be silenced in the Church. All Church leaders involved in these acts of iniquity should ask God for forgiveness and repent. They stand condemned. In the court of heaven, they are condemned.

Every God-fearing Christian must condemn “cash and carry” elections in CAN. It must not happen again. It is an embarrassment to the Kingdom of God that Church leaders would engage in bribery to win elections in the Church, yet the same Christians loudly condemn election malpractice amongst politicians. Are some Christian leaders any better?  Those who rig elections cannot claim to be ordained by God.

Exposed:  How Gov. Ikpeazu allies emptied Abia Excess Crude Account:  Ararume, Enyinnaya, Dike, Chuku Wachuku, T.A. Orji , others fingered

by Leading Reporters July 27, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

Senator T.A. Orji’s son-inlaw, Obinna Ararume, Enyinnaya Nwafor the son of Late deputy governor of Abia State Clement Chima Nwafor, his business partner and brother Dike Chimezie Nwafor, Pioneer Director General of the National Directorate of Employment NDE, Chuku Wachuku were among those who are believed to have drained monies that accrued to Abia State under the State’s Excess Crude Account, LeadingReporters exclusive findings can authoritatively reveal.

Abia State is near-synonymous with bad leadership.  Across Nigeria, when states with worse leaders are mentioned, Abia State ranks first. This is despite the huge human capital and natural resources the State is blessed with. The state has perennial notoriety of having leaders that lack morality in leadership, sense of creativity and direction as well as fiscal discipline.  From Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, to Theodore A. Orji, up to the current Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, the story has been that of untamed massive looting of the State treasury and mismanagement of resources of the state.  Abia State, like Rivers State is an oil producing state.  While Rivers State Government has consistently deployed resources from the excess crude for massive developmental product, Abia State on the other hand has been bedeviled with leaders who loot the treasury for personal aggrandizement.

An investigation unveiled exclusively by LeadingReporters revealed that the peak of the financial malady was in 2016. All monies that accrued to the Excess Crude Account No 1014381352 domiciled with Zenith Bank, Government House Umuahia were, upon hitting the State account mopped up by the State Government using allies accounts and companies.

One of the allies company is Basingstoke Investment Limited. The company which is situated at plot 1202 Ademola Adetokunbo crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja has Obinna Ararume and Ekedebe Chinedu as directors.  Obinna Ararume, married Nneoma Orji, the daughter of former governor of Abia State and a serving Senator, Theodore Ahamefula Orji.  The company received the sum of N130,000,000 on the 5th of January, 2016 without any description of services rendered.  The company as well received the sum of N50,000,000 on 19th January, 2016, allegedly on the directives of Senator T.A. Orji to his political godson Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu.

LeadingReporters investigation further revealed that the bulk of Abia State Excess Crude money was transferred to companies linked to Enyinnaya Nwafor, the son of the late Deputy Governor of Abia State who, through his companies received the following sum:

Tunnel End Investment Company Ltd.  The company, on 5th January, 2016 received the sum of N200,000,000 (Two Hundred Million Naira) only, from Abia State’s Excess Crude Account.   On 13th January, 2016, via same account, Enyannaya Nwafor through his other company Rockwaters Integrated Services Limited received the sum of N176,000,000 (One Hundred and Seventy Six Million Naira) only, while Tunnel  End Investment company Limited received the same amount of N176,000,000 (One Hundred and Seventy Six Milion Naira) only on the same 13th January.

In the same vein, Rockwaters Integrated Services Limited, on the 18th of January, 2016 received the sum of N200,000,000, while another N149,000,000 (One Hundred and forty Nine Million Naira) was paid to Tetralock Business Solutions Ltd, a company owned by Enyannaya Nwafor on the 13th of January, 2016. Other suspicious payment into Enyinnaya Nwafor’s account include N100,000,000 (One Hundred Million Naira) paid into Rockwater account on the 21st January, 2016; N100,000,000 (One Hundred Million Naira) only paid on 26th January, 2016 into Rockwater account respectively. 

On  27th January, 2016, Rockwater received another suspicious payment from Abia State Excess Crude account to the tune of N250,000,000 (Two Hundred and Fifty Million Naira only) and N25,000,000 (Twenty Five Million Naira) respectively on same date.

On 29th January, Dike Chimezie Nwafor and a co-director of Tunnel End Investment limited, through another company Housegate Global services Limited (codenamed Church HPUSE Global Services Ltd) for the purpose of covering the transaction received the sum of N100,000,000 (One Hundred Million Naira) on the 29th January, 2016 from Abia State Federation Account.

Other transfers from the Excess Crude Oil Account to Enyinnaya Nwafor through his companies accounts include N47,000,000 (Forty Seven Million Naira) paid into Tetra Lock account on the 15th December, 2016;  N47,000,000 (Forty Seven Million Naira) paid into Rockwater account on 15th December, 2016 and another N60,000,000 (Sixty Million Naira) only paid into Rockwater account on the 23rd November, 2016 in two tranches of N30,000,000 (Thirty Million Naira each).  Rockwater bagged home another suspicious payment of N50,000,000 on the 26th October, 2016.

Other beneficiaries of Governor Ikpazu’s naira rain are Chuku Wachukwu who bagged home the sum of N100,000,000 and N150,000,000 on the 1st of June 2016 and 26th of October, 2016 respectively using Delhope Resources Limited, a company he sits in the board.

Why Peter Obi-Datti Baba Ahmed Should Get Your Vote in 2023

by Leading Reporters July 23, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

I am not the typical politician or party man, but I love Nigeria very much to be deeply interested in her welfare, progress and future. It is from that perspective, unbiased and objective, that I put these thoughts forward.

I have been around enough to know that Nigeria has suffered from leadership deficit, and that many simple things have been left undone purely because of self-centered interests. I am also able to see that past leaders have failed woefully to unite Nigerians and erase such divisive tags as religion and ethnicity.

After over sixty years of independence, we are unable to birth a true Nigerian citizenship; rather, we have remained as Yorubas, Igbos, Hausa, Ijaws, Ibibios, Fulanis, Nupes, Idomas, etc. There is nothing wrong, as such, in coming from an ethnic stock, but there is everything wrong when ethnicity is promoted over and above nationhood, common brotherhood and sisterhood of humanity. The blame is squarely on the door steps of past political leadership.

Next year’s presidential elections, therefore, present us a fresh opportunity to do a total rethink, call it re-jig and introspection. In that regard, so far, we have identified three major frontline political parties. The one is the ruling All Progressive Congress, the APC, having Senator Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima as flag bearers. The other is the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, having Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, as flag bearers.

Then the third is the Labour Party, having Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed as flag bearers. Apart from the names of the individuals in the first and second political parties, both APC and PDP are like Siamese twins. They are populated by the very same class of Nigerian politicians who have ruled Nigeria from 1999 till date; and who have crisscrossed effortlessly between the two parties. The results of their years of governance, like score cards, are on the table for every Nigerian to behold. It shows abysmal performance in all key sectors of human and public affairs.

Our security situation is in tatters, with various security agencies at the lowest ebb of their sense of devotion and patriotism. Fear of death, kidnap and payment of ransoms have become daily experiences for Nigerians when travelling, and even while in their homes. The economy has nose-dived to the point where government is said to now borrow to address recurrent expenditures, thereby totally abandoning capital projects. The result has been mind-shattering inflationary rates that have left every citizen living below acceptable levels of existence; while pushing many others into stealing and corrupt practices. Electricity supply challenges have been intractable. The educational sector has shamefully been in total comatose. Healthcare delivery is unaffordable, and nearly absent; yet the political elite prefer going on medical tourism abroad. In short, the citizens have been left wondering why nothing seems to work, and are daily seeking after greener pastures in other climes. Worst of all, the entire Nigerian brand, represented by our Flag, has suffered grave damages!

Then, here comes Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed; the duo with clear articulation of solutions to these myriads of challenges. They came from what you may call the political underdog class, but equipped with high moral and ethical dispositions never before seen in Nigeria’s political space. They seem like a dream reality for the Nigerian class of youthful voters. They also present the fresh hope for the many otherwise disenchanted adult voter population, all of whom have ‘seen it all’ with the crop of charlatans who have occupied the political space in the past twenty plus years in Nigeria.

In short, the Peter Obi- Datti Baba-Ahmed team has the following going for it:

  1. Clarity of understanding about the myriads of challenges facing Nigeria and Nigerians.
  2. Clarity of applicable solutions for each challenge.
  3. Background in private sector attainments that show grit, capability to generate wealth, integrity and passion to excel.
  4. Zero tolerance for the usual corrupt ways of acquisition of political power in Nigeria.
  5. Manifest show of love for the masses of Nigeria and determination to turn around the fortunes of the country through clearly articulated ideas and programmes.
  6. Uncommon show of simplicity and humility, conveying a sense of ‘not business as usual.’
  7. Transparent records about self, past achievements, attainments and associations.
  8. Impeccable academic and professional exposures that guarantee capacity to address the challenges of Nigeria.
  9. Uncommon ability and flair to clearly articulate believable road maps for deliverables.
  10. Detribalized approach to issues of national concerns, devoid of primordial sentiments such as religion and ethnicity.
  11. Finally, these two gentlemen have age and health in their favour, and have been able to effortlessly elicit revitalization of genuine hope and sense of patriotism, once more, among Nigerians, especially youths, who for many decades have remained aloof from politics and governance.

Even INEC has become a beneficiary, as new enthusiasm is being generated and galvanized by Peter Obi-Datti Baba-Ahmed towards electioneering processes in Nigeria.

It is for these reasons, and many more which space would not immediately permit me to state, that I highly recommend the flag bearers of the Labour Party, Peter Obi-Datti Baba-Ahmed to you. Be objective and remember that your vote for them amounts to birthing a new Nigeria.

A GENUINELY CONCERNED NIGERIAN.

CanCristiano Ronaldo join Lionel Messi at PSG? Man Utd star’s agent offer CR7 to French club

by Leading Reporters July 13, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly set to leave Manchester United this summer having already informed the club that he wants to spend the final few years of his career playing for a club competing in the Champions League. United cannot offer Ronaldo Champions League football next season as the club has been relegated to the Europa League after failing to finish top four in the English Premier League last season.

United endured a dismal campaign last season missing out on a top-four spot and getting knocked out of the Champions League from the Last 16. Ronaldo, who returned to United from Juventus last summer, has never played in the Europa League so far in his career.

Apart from his desire to play in the Champions League, Ronaldo is also reportedly upset with United’s lack of ambition in the transfer market so far this summer. The superstar forward is thus looking for a move away from Old Trafford with his agent Jorge Mendes offering his services to several top clubs.

As per a report in ESPN, Ronaldo’s agent Mendes recently discussed the possibility of the Portuguese star joining French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG0 this summer. Mendes met with PSG’s sporting director Luis Campos and club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to discuss the move.

However, as per the report, PSG have rejected the chance to sign Ronaldo for various reasons. The club believe they do not have room for Ronaldo in the squad as they already have the likes of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in their star-studded attacking unit. PSG also reportedly believe they can’t fit Ronaldo in their wage bill considering his staggering salary.

The prospect of witnessing two legends of the game – Ronaldo and Messi play together for a club can be a salivating prospect for football fans around the globe. But it seems the two legends are unlikely to don the same jersey anytime soon in the near future.

With Ronaldo already 37 and Messi also entering the wrong end of his 30s, fans might never get to witness two greats play together for the same club. While Messi had left his boyhood club FC Barcelona to join PSG last season, Ronaldo had made a dream comeback to United.

Electronic Transfer Charges Made N97.3 Billion for the FGN

by Leading Reporters July 13, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

The Federal Government (FG) in its May communique of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) stated that N97.3 billion was generated from Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL).

This represents the highest amount generated from EMTL by the country since 2020. Nigeria has generated not less than N129.62 billion from EMTL and the amount generated in April represents 75.04% of the total amount generated ‌thus far.

Revenue generated from EMTL made up 14.29% of the total N680.78 billion generated by the federal government in the month of April.

Electronic money transfer levy was introduced to replace the stamp duty on bank transfers in the 2020 Financial Act. This levy imposes a N50  levy on electronic transfers of  money deposited in any financial institution for amounts over N10,000.

What does this mean? It implies that if Sule buys or has a transaction with Chinedu and he pays him using an inter-bank transfer, after crediting the account of Chinedu with the amount, say N10,000, the bank will charge Sule a N50 levy for the transaction, apart from the money transferred. This will mean a total deduction from Sule’s account of N10,050 for the transaction.

This electronic transaction levy appears to apply both ways – from the sender and receiver. So both Sule and Chinedu will receive debit alerts. However, Sule would get an alert of the debit from his bank but Chinedu would not except he pays close attention to his bank statements. Most people don’t.

Chinyere Janice, who sells groceries, noted deductions termed ‘levy’ on her account.

‘For every bank alert I receive as payment for the items I supply, my money is being deducted as an electronic transfer levy. This amount ranges from N10 to N100, depending on the amount transferred to my account,’ Chinyere said.

Electronic money transfer levy is a source of revenue for most African countries. A report termed it ‘lazy tax’ as the government doesn’t have to do much to collect it.

The report shows that Uganda was the first to impose this levy in Africa in July 2018 with a 0.5% threshold. Zimbabwe followed in October 2018 at 2% taxation threshold. For all countries that have imposed this levy, the threshold ranges from 0.2% to 2%.

Nigeria introduced this in the 2020 Financial Act and has since commenced collection. Section 89 (A)(1&2) of the act states:

There is imposed a levy, to be referred to as the Electronic Money Transfer Levy, on electronic receipts or electronic transfer for money deposited in any deposit money bank or financial institution, on any type of account, to be accounted for and expressed to be received by the person to whom the transfer or deposit is made

The levy shall be imposed as a singular and one-off charge of N50 on electronic receipts or electronic transfers of money in the sum of N10,000 or more

Sub-section 2 of the act states a one-off deduction payment.

Nigeria has continued to witness increased adoption of mobile banking for transactions as a critical part of the financial inclusion strategy. Transaction volume  through mobile devices between January and April 2022 was 153 million. In 2021 within the same period, transaction volume was 67 million, a 128.4 percent year-on-year increase.

Nigeria, alongside 6 other countries contribute half of the World’s 1.7 billion unbanked population. For financial institutions and the many fintech companies springing up, there is still a substantial market to tap into. 

Expanding the mobile banking market is also good news for a revenue-challenged Nigeria because as that market grows, the levy on electronic transfers will provide increased revenue to the government, even if it amounts to double jeopardy for users of mobile banking services, both senders and receivers.

2023 Northern elders: What Peter Obi won’t do to Nigeria if elected president

by Leading Reporters July 12, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

The Northern Elders Forum, NEF, has assured Nigerians that the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi won’t divide the country if elected.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the spokesman of NEF, also noted that Nigeria will not be divided if Obi fails in the 2023 presidential election.

He pointed out that no presidential candidate would divide the country if elected in 2023.

Baba-Ahmed was reacting to a Twitter user who said he was scared the LP presidential candidate will divide the country if elected president.

It was a very good issue and I’m glad I raised it @PulseNigeria247 pic.twitter.com/wM0H5JAPe1

— DUKE UF Lagos 💯❤️🌍 (@Chibu_eze2) July 12, 2022

The Twitter user @AnthonyAnya33, wrote: “I understand why you’re scared… he will divide the country but ask yourself what if he fails to win do you think the country will remain one?”

Reacting, Baba-Ahmed wrote: “I am afraid you are wrong on both counts. Not Obi, no candidate will divide the country when he becomes President, unless he deliberately chooses to govern in a manner that infinitely dwarfs the current administration’s record.

“The country will not divide if Obi does not win either.”

Mushroom parties, You’ll labour till death, Tinubu attacks PDP, LP

by Leading Reporters July 12, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

Ahead of the governorship election in Osun State, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday lashed out at the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Labour Party LP, in the state.

Tinubu said the PDP and Labour Party will labour till death.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had scheduled the Osun State governorship election to hold on July 16.

Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola is seeking to return to power for his second term, while Ademola Adeleke of the PDP is the front runner for the gubernatorial race.

LP has Lasun Yusuf as its governorship candidate.

However, Tinubu dismissed the possibility of PDP and LP giving the APC a stiff contest.

Speaking at the party’s mega rally, he described PDP and LP as “mushroom parties”.

He urged residents of Osun State to consider their future and vote for APC.

According to Tinubu: “I ask you to please do the same thing you did in Ekiti. Come out with your PVCs and vote massively for APC.

“The voting is now in your hand. Be very vigilant. Be watchful. You will not do it in vain.

“Think about your children and vote accordingly so you can see the future. Come out en masse. Don’t mind PDP and other mushroom parties — parties like Labour; they will labour till they die. God will not make you labourers.”

Exposed: Republican’s Blast Biden’s ‘Unconstitutional’ Global Initiative to Replace Christianity With Atheism, Humanism

“Americans rightly discern this as a part of the broader effort on the part of [Biden’s] administration to promote radical, progressive orthodoxy abroad,” Rep. Jim Banks wrote to Biden.

House Republicans are demanding answers from the Biden administration over its “unconstitutional” grant program they say will “promote atheism worldwide.”

Republican Study Committee (RSC) chairman Rep. Jim Banks (Ind.) and 14 of his colleagues penned a letter to Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding clarity about the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor’s (DRL) grant program promoting “humanism” and “atheism” abroad.

“The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) was officially titled ‘DRL FY20 IRF Promoting and Defending Religious Freedom Inclusive of Atheist, Humanist, Non-Practicing and Non-Affiliated Individuals,’” Banks and the Republicans wrote on Thursday.

Banks continued that it “is one thing for the Department to be tolerant and respectful of a wide range of belief systems” and “to encourage governments to respect the religious freedom interests of their citizens.”

“It is quite another for the United States government to work actively to empower atheists, humanists, non-practicing, and non-affiliated in public decision-making,” the letter read. “Any such program – for any religiously-identifiable group – in the United States would be unconstitutional.”

The Biden State Department is promoting CRT, abortion and now atheism abroad. This is not what America stands for!

The letter went on to question how this grant actually “advances the foreign policy interests of the United States.”

“Were such programs known by the citizens of the target countries, we would expect that local populations, interest groups, and governments would bristle at what any ‘objective observer’ would see as ‘covert’ funding from a foreign power designed to shatter local religious and cultural relationships,” the letter read.

The grant program website states that one to two grants worth up to $500,000 will be used to “combat discrimination, harassment and abuses against atheist, humanist, non-practicing and non-affiliated individuals of all religious communities by strengthening networks among these communities and providing organizational training and resources.”

Banks noted that atheism “is an integral part of the belief system of Marxism and communism.”

“Americans rightly discern this as a part of the broader effort on the part of your administration to promote radical, progressive orthodoxy abroad,” the letter read, concluding with a series of 12 questions for Biden to answer about how the program helps U.S. foreign policy.

Given Biden’s hyper-partisan style of governing, it’s unlikely his administration will even provide answers to the House Republicans.
