Clergy Tasks Buhari on Insecurity, Corruption
The pastor of the Baptist Church of Nigeria, Rev. Sampson Ayokunle, has tasked the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) on the fight against corruption and Boko Haram insurgency in the country.
Speaking in Owerri last weekend during the annual church convention, Rev. Ayokunle said the annual convention was organised to tackle some salient issues concerning the church and stop corrupt issues that may endanger the growth of the church by exposing those behind it.
He described it as a season of grace, period to pray together as one body in the name of Christ and win souls.
Rev Ayokunle, who is also the National Vice President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said denomination had touched human lives in different ways, particularly human capacity by establishing Baptist Academy of Nigeria, in Obanikoro, Lagos.
“We have been preaching for peace of the nation especially on the just concluded election, calling on the electoral umpire to conduct free, fair and credible election for the co-existence of peace in the country”, he said.
