GENERAL Overseer of Christ Chosen Deliverance Church,
Apostle Thompson Oki, has said that the loot recovered from corrupt political
office holders had not made positive impact on the Nigerian economy,..
noting
that the country had lost focus after 57 years of independence due to greed and
bad leadership. The cleric, in his homily during a church service at Irri,
Isoko South Local Government Area, Delta State, lamented that successive
administrations in Nigeria had deviated from the true democracy to personal
sentiments and aggrandizement. Speaking on the theme Something is Missing in
Nigeria, he said: “Corruption and bad governance have changed Independence
celebration from what it was in the 80’s to ordinary remembrance without
value.” He warned that until Nigeria’s leaders look for what was missing and proffer
solution to the ailing economy, the country will continue to wait for the
unknown. Urging Nigerians to stop hate speeches, Oki reiterated that hatred
leads to hate speeches which can plunge the country’s economy into
retrogression. Stressing the need for Nigerians to retrace their steps and live
righteous life, he advised political office holders to listen to the cry of the
masses on the way forward to ensure that dividends of democracy get to the
ordinary Nigerians.
