Mr Julius Olalekan, a cleric at the Redeem Christian Church of God, has said that the only way corruption can be removed from Nigeria is if our leaders have the fear of God in their hearts.
Mr Olalekan said that God has not failed Nigeria in the fight against corruption
Olalekan, who is Pastor-in-charge of Ogun Region 12 of the church, made the call on Tuesday at the inauguration and dedication of the Provincial Headquarters, Ogun Province 18 of the church in Mowe, Ogun.
“Our leaders should have the fear of God in them; if there is the fear of God in our hearts, corruption will be removed from our hearts, and we will not steal the tax payer’s money.
“If we have the fear of God, it will be the beginning of wisdom; once there is the fear of God, the wisdom to excel, good governance and good leadership will come automatically.
“The government should pay attention to the plight of the citizens; the earlier the better, because if they allow things to degenerate further, it will amount to lots of losses.
“Poverty and hunger should be addressed; the government should try to make the man on the street a little comfortable,’’ he said.
