He said, “Since our political leaders have failed the poor, I think it’s high time our religious leaders rescued Nigerians who wallow in abject poverty.
“We have a duty to support one another to stand. I am begging Pastor Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo and others to take over from governments and help Nigerians. “In my church, you can find out today how we spend offerings and tithes; we simply give to the poor.

“You came with nothing and you are leaving with the same. We must help our neighbours, according to Hebrews 13:16 which says, ‘Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God,” he said.
