Stop being Sycophants to Politicians that is when you can tell the truth to their faces – Adeleke to Church Leaders

“When church leaders have the opportunity to meet political office holders,  they should know that they are not representing themselves but the people.

“It is important we tell ourselves the truth; have we not failed? We must hold leaders accountable, as the church is too silent and quiet.

“When the youth protested against ending bad governance, how many church leaders spoke to the occasion? There’s pressure in the North, and people are moving to the South. Instead of church leaders talking about pressing issues like insecurity and terrorism, among others, church leaders are busy talking about tithes,” he said.

Also speaking in the same vein, the convener of the lecture, Baba Aladura,  David Bob-Manuel, stressed that the world and indeed the Nigerian nation were looking unto the church to provide the catalyst or the balm to assuage the suffering in the land.

He said that it was only by preaching the true gospel, righteousness, and doing it that the church could take its rightful position and provide a direction for good governance.
