The General Overseer of Victory Life Bible Church, Apostle Achudume has called on religious leaders, himself inclusive to rise up to the challenges of insecurity facing Nigeria, as a country, and help in finding lasting solution to the menace.
Penpushing reports that, Achudume made the call in his message during Christmas Carol tagged,’ “Unto Us A Saviour is Born’, organized by the church on Sunday, in Abeokuta, Ogun State Capital.
The known frankly speaking clergyman noted that manipulations, god fatherism, insincerity ,lack of accountability and total neglect to the fear of God are major causes of socio-economic and political instability in the country.
Penpushing further reports that, he lamented that most people occupying positions of authority are not committed to the wellbeing of their followers noting that patriotism and selfless service to humanity are the bedrock of the much talked about national cohesion and economic growth.
The fearless clergyman pointed out that many unqualified people who are mostly political jobbers are now in charge of many sensitive positions in the country, adding that this was as a result of their connections to the powers that be.
Penpushing also reports that, Achudume posited on the need for Nigerians to take their destinies into their hands by electing credible leaders irrespective of socio-cultural and religious leanings in the next political dispensation.
The founder of the globally known church submitted that a true Nigerian without ethnic or religious colouration is best for the much needed security, empowerment and progress in the country.
Penpushing reports that, Achudume alleged that the future of the country has been mortgaged by some individuals, hence, need for religious leaders to mount their pulpits and use their platforms to draw home the message of hope and oneness, emphasizing that no nation can truly advance in the midst of ethnic bias and intolerance.
The Carol Service which had in attendance top government functionaries, religious leaders and members of Victory Life Bible Church International from far and near witnessed rendition of different Christmas songs and hymns, just as Hallelujah chorus by the mass choir was sang to wrap up the colourful and well attended event.
