Most Reverend Adewale Martins the Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, during his annual New Year day press briefing in Lagos, said corrupt leaders will go to hell if they refuse to change from their bad ways.
He advised corrupt leaders to use their offices to better the lives of the masses, adding that “what these corrupt leaders are doing is converting the masses’ wealth for their personal use which is against the ninth commandment; which says that: “Thou shall not convert your neighbour’s property.”
The archbishop also advised President Goodluck Jonathan to prosecute corrupt leaders, adding that if not, the problems Nigerians were currently facing would continue.
He further said that the president should not allow any injustice or corrupt practices to go unpunished because it was the only way to put a stop to the massive looting going on in the country.
The cleric also advised the president to face issues squarely and pursue them to a final conclusion.
On the issue of Boko Haram, he said the activity of those directly connected to the sect was as a result of greed and people trying to enforce their nocturnal beliefs on others.
