The President of Christ Apostolic Church Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel Oladele, has said that Nigerians have no reason to suffer if righteous people are put in the helm of affairs.
Oladele disclosed this on Saturday while speaking with newsmen during thanksgiving, which was part of the activities for the final burial of the founder of CAC Oke Agbara, Ashi, Ibadan, Pastor Michael Ojo Olowere.
While observing that country is blessed with abundant resources, the cleric added that Nigerians may continue to suffer until righteous people are in positions of authority.
He said, “Righteousness exalts a nation and the preachers are those who preached righteousness. Nigeria is blessed with enormous resources, but see where we are today.
“We should have no business suffering from poverty because there is no righteousness in the country.
“Preachers, pastors, and prophets are those who preached righteousness; they are the ones that tell their members you must go out to demonstrate that we are the light of the world and salt of the earth.
“And when they behave and act righteously, then we will begin to see the fruits of righteousness and that makes the preachers the very pillar and the power behind every nation”.
Dignitaries at the event held at the main bow of Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba Ibadan include former Governor of Ekiti state, Chief Segun Oni, former President of CAC, Pastor Abraham Akinosun and the General Evangelist of CAC, Pastor Hezekiah Oladeji.
