The Planter Of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Adamimogo, Grace Of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide, Prophet Sam Olu Alo has said Nigeria deserves righteous and patriotic leaders in positions of authority now, not political joblers.

The cleric urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to desist from appointing politicians into public offices as a way of compensating them.

Speaking at Jesus City, Lekki/Epe express way, the cleric said President Tinubu should henceforth appoint experts who could come up with solutions to various challenges facing the nation, saying If such aforementioned people at the helms of affairs, Nigeria would be better.

He lamented that some of those in positions of authority are not thinking towards making positive impact.

He said, “He are not talking about politicians alone. Even those of us who are men of God, we must have that optimism that Nigeria could be better. You know that there are some men of God in this country who don’t believe this nation could be better.

“They do not have the faith that things could be better. Many now developed countries have actually passed through the current wilderness we are going through.

“But why our pathetic situations persist is because we are yet to have many committed leaders and people in positions of authority. Many who are in positions now are not dedicated, selfless and committed to making things better. God has shown them mercy to attain the height they are now without they sweating for it.but they haven’t been doing well enough.

“My advice is that we need more committed people in positions of authority in Nigeria. We urge our President to ensure that he assigns technocrats, righteous and patriotic leaders in positions of authority. He should do this without considering political associations.

“Our President should not compensate people with political offices but rather assign those who will truly do the job and deliver dividends of democracy for the people. If this is done, Nigeria Wil witness a positive change towards meaningful growth and development.

“The theme of this programme is Exodus, which means, God is breathing life into lives . He will ensure that His people experience miracles that would turn around their lives for better. God is always ready to assist righteous people. Being righteous is not by always going to church. That is different.

“We must ensure that we have a true and sincere relationship with God. The Bible makes us to understand that God says that l know.my people and my people also know me. True men of God cannot be identified by their clothes or face or appearance, their character and actions are germane.

“We must all have it in mind that we should always be righteous and live a righteous life and realize that one day we shall give account of all that we do here on earth.”

Also speaking, Pastor Sonibare Odunayo urged Nigerian youths to be more responsible and shun acts capable of fitting short their lives by indulging in money making rituals and inordinate ambitions for wealth.

He said, “Nigeria is my country and motherland. I love this country wholeheartedly. I want to believe it is not bad economy that is the situation. Bad economy cannot exist if we don’t have bad people. What caused bad economy is our character and ideology and behaviour.

“My Father in the Lord, Prophecy Sam Olu Alo is a man endowed with grace, he is a helper and I have really enjoyed the grace of God in his life. I have really enjoyed working with him. He is God’s general. He is a father indeed. God has been helping and using to amend, rebuild and reshapen many destinies and lives.

“His life is a challenge to us, and an inspiration to may of us. I pray the Lord will continue to strengthen him the more to lift many more lives. We are also toeing his path and would love to impart positively on lives as he is doing ,” he advised.

“I want to believe that if we are able to correct our ways and do the right thing at the right time , we would have a very good economy. Nigeria is a blessed country . Trust me, I am sure fellow Nigerians would agree with me on that Nigeria is greatly blessed in all ways. We have tremendous human and material resources.

Also, Mrs. Modupe Ogunsuiyi, said, “We need to do so many things for the younts of today because the way they are looking for money is worrisome. Some of them can go as far as using their mother’s for money. My advice is that churches can organize orientation programmes for youths to discourage them from been too hasty to make money.”
