“Nigeria will never be an Islamic Nation!” Clergyman DAVID IBIYEOMIE says as he criticises National Assembly for passing law banning Christians from preaching in commercial vehicles (WATCH)

Monday, July 27, 2026 - Clergyman, David Ibiyeomie, has slammed members of the Nigerian Senate for passing a law penalizing anyone who preaches in commercial buses 

Recall that earlier this week, the Senate passed the redrafted Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Act (Amendment) Bill, 2026, introducing heavy penalties for various road and transit-related infractions. Among the newly established rules is a ₦50,000 penalty targeting individuals who trade, hawk, or preach to passengers inside commercial buses.

The bill currently awaits the assent of President Tinubu.

Ibiyeomie, while preaching in his church today, said if the law, which he perceives as anti-Christian, is passed, it will cause serious problems in Nigeria, adding that “he will not be alive to see Christ get humiliated.”

He further stated that many Nigerian pastors who led protests during Jonathan’s administration cannot condemn this law because of tribal sentiments and because they have allegedly collected money from the current leaders.
