The President of Christ Apostolic Church Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel Oladele, firmly stated that Nigerians should not have any reason to suffer if righteous people are in positions of authority in the country.
Speaking at a thanksgiving event as part of the final burial activities of Pastor Michael Ojo Olowere, the founder of CAC Oke Agbara, Ashi, Ibadan, Pastor Oladele highlighted the abundance of resources in Nigeria and emphasized the role of righteousness in national prosperity.
“Righteousness exalts a nation and the preachers are those who preach righteousness. Nigeria is blessed with enormous resources, but look at where we are today,” Pastor Oladele said.
He further expressed, “We should not be grappling with poverty because righteousness is lacking in the country. Preachers, pastors, and prophets are the ones who advocate for righteousness. They are the ones who encourage their congregations to showcase that we are the light of the world and the salt of the earth.”
Pastor Oladele emphasized the power of righteous actions in bringing about positive change and improvement in society. He believes that when leaders and citizens demonstrate righteousness, the country will begin to experience the fruits of righteousness.
During the thanksgiving ceremony, held at the main bow of Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba Ibadan, notable dignitaries including former Ekiti state governor, Chief Segun Oni, former President of CAC, Pastor Abraham Akinosun, and the General Evangelist of CAC, Pastor Hezekiah Oladeji, were present.
The message from Pastor Oladele serves as a reminder of the crucial role that righteousness plays in the advancement and well-being of a nation. Nigerians are encouraged to uphold moral values and hold their leaders accountable for upholding righteousness in order to alleviate the suffering that persists in the country.
