Stop Looting Nigeria’s Treasury, Cleric Tells Leaders
The General Evangelist Worldwide Christ Apostolic Church designate, Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji, has appealed to Nigerian leaders to stop looting the country’s treasury, saying corruption has hindered the nation’s development.
The cleric, who blamed the country’s economic woes on poor leadership, warned against further plundering of the country’s economy.
He said that the wrath of God awaits the country’s treasury looters, unless they change their attitude.
Oladeji said that the fortunes of Nigeria would have been much better if its leaders have been selfless as obtainable in advanced countries of the world like Britain, France and United States of America.
In his message to the nation in Jerusalem, Holy Land of Israel, Oladeji urged Nigerian Christians to declare three days fasting and prayers for the lost glory of the country to be restored in due course.
The man of God visited the holy land in company of some men of God to pray for the nation to make the dream of its founding fathers come to fruition.
The cleric in the message which was made available to newsmen via electronic mail in Ado Ekiti on Friday, expressed regret at the high level of corruption in Nigeria, saying “God is ready to intervene in the affairs of the country and bring back the good old days.
“Nigeria is a country that was so blessed but it lost its glory along the line due to corruption of few of our leaders.
“But I can see the powerful hands of God coming to deliver Nigerians from their enemies. God is ready to restore our lost glories and give us a new nation whose stars will reverberate all over the world.
“Nigeria is a great country with great potentials. It is regrettable that we are known all over the world for mostly the wrong reasons. But time has come now that God will intervene and give us a new nation”, he assured.
Oladeji appealed to Nigerian leaders to refrain from massive looting of the treasury and embrace true restitution for the Nigeria’s glory to shine again.
“If we move closer to God, I see all the moribund banks, oil companies and dead airlines springing up again. I see new things happening to Nigeria. I see Nigeria rising and soaring and become a darling nation to many nations of the world.
“All these may not come ordinarily except if we move away from sins and come closer to God. We must believe in the virtues of selflessness, probity, transparency, accountability and above all, in honesty and love.”
