Former Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, has urged clerics to stop encouraging treasury looters.
Obi said this at the 35th Methodist Bishops’ conference at Methodists Theological Institute in Abia state.
“Once the society is progressing, it is for the benefit of everybody; and once it is not progressing everybody suffers, including Church leaders,” he said.
“We have seen public officers who did not have a penny, within months they have built houses.
“Unfortunately, it is the money that should have been saved for the state that they squander. Rather than condemn such, some men of God preside over their thanksgiving and praise them to high heavens.”
Obi also lamented the practice whereby some pastors hand over car and house keys to their members that are yet to be gainfully employed.
