Outspoken social and political analyst Frank M. Gashumba has thrown down a bold challenge to Kampala-based pastors and prophets, vowing to walk naked from his home village of Villa Maria in Masaka to Kampala if any of them can resurrect his late father.

Gashumba issued the challenge while questioning claims by some religious leaders that they have the power to bring dead people back to life.

He challenged those who have publicly claimed to have resurrected the dead to prove their abilities, saying his father passed away without even getting the chance to say goodbye to him.

I’m ready to walk naked straight from Villa Maria, Masaka. I want any of these so-called ‘Prophets’ and ‘Apostles’ who claim to resurrect the dead to go with me to Villa Maria.

My dad didn’t say goodbye to me when he was passing. I’m ready to walk naked from Villa Maria to Kampala if any of these pastors or prophets resurrects my dad.

He went on to single out an Apostle based in Naguru who allegedly claimed to have resurrected four dead people, challenging him to demonstrate his purported powers by bringing back several prominent Ugandan figures who have passed away.

There is an Apostle from Naguru who claimed to have resurrected four dead people. We ask him to go and resurrect Kapere, Tamale Mirundi, Isma Olaxess, Sheikh Muzaata and Moses Matovu.

Even King Oyo, because these are still fresh deaths. They said he was a friend to King Oyo, and he was on record claiming to have raised four dead people. So I ask him to start with those.

Gashumba maintained that his message was simple, arguing that no pastor or prophet has the power to resurrect the dead, insisting that such miracles were performed by Jesus alone.

“However, the message is simple: there is no one who talks to God, and nobody resurrects dead people. Those were done by Jesus alone. I’m ready to walk naked from Villa Maria.”
