Joshua Bamiloye Condemns Christians Rejoicing Over Ex-President Muhammadu Buhari’s Death
Gospel filmmaker and minister Joshua Bamiloye has strongly criticized the reactions of some Christians who publicly rejoiced over the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a heartfelt message posted his on social media, Bamiloye expressed deep disappointment at the celebratory tone adopted by certain believers in response to the news of Buhari’s passing.
He described the reactions as “un-Christlike” and warned that such attitudes contradict the values of love, compassion, and respect that the Christian faith upholds.
While acknowledging the pain and dissatisfaction many Nigerians may have felt under Buhari’s administration, Bamiloye stressed that death should never be a cause for rejoicing, especially among those who profess to follow Christ.
