The General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has charged
Nigerians to always demand accountability from their elected leaders.
Adeboye, who gave the call at the
Special Prayer and Thanksgiving for Professors, lecturers, teachers, youth
Corps members, students and their families at the RCCG Headquarters, The Throne
of Grace, Ebute-Metta, Lagos, on Sunday said such move would help in deepening
democratic and participatory governance in Nigeria
Represented by the Assistant
General Overseer, Administration and Personnel, Pastor Johnson Odesola, Adeboye
said Nigeria should be prepared to hold leaders to account.
He said: “The issue of praise
singing corrupt leaders and giving them titles is actually establishing,
amplifying and concretising deterioration of the state.
“In the community where I grew
up, if anyone is found to be a thief, he or she will be ex-communicated from
the community but today people give excuses for corrupt leaders because he or
she is from their tribe or culture.
“I have not seen anywhere who has
gone to jail and is still in politics and holding public offices.
“It will take goodwill and strong
courage for Nigeria to move forward. God will help us, but we should learn from
nations where law and order has broken down.
“They have been spending money on
education, health, roads and light but with nothing to show for it because the
vacuum of the true and righteous God in them is not filled.
“God is the solution to our
problems and as long as leaders refuse to recognize this salient truth and give
Him position in their hearts, they would continue to chase shadows and have no
answer to their confession that Nigeria’s problems are so complicated that as
they are solving one, other bigger ones are raising up their ugly heads to the
extent that the latter would even rubbish the problems they thought they have
solved.”
