The founder of Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate
Elijah Ayodele, has said that the COVID-19 broke out because “the rich
abandoned the poor”.
According to the Daily Sun, the cleric said “the sickness is
not for the poor”.
As of Saturday morning, Nigeria had 3,912 confirmed cases of
Coronavirus.
Of that number, 679 patients have been discharged, while 117
deaths have been recorded.
“It came to us because the rich have abandoned the poor. The
sickness is not for the poor, it is for the rich but they are infesting the
poor. The poor do not care about the sickness. The rich know it and are taking
advantage of it,” Primate Ayodele said.
He also criticized the government, for not carrying
religious organizations like churches and mosques along.
President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to give the go-ahead for
the re-opening of social and religious gatherings, after over six weeks since
he ordered a ban.
“Most people believe what they hear from their pastor than
the government.
“Also, they need to give God a chance, the clerics who say
they can pray and heal patients, should be taken to the centres at once,
otherwise this thing will spread and about five million people will be
affected,” Primate Ayodele said.
