The Olugbon of Orile-Igbon, Oba Francis Alao, has said most political leaders, clerics and monarchs are corrupt, a reason he said Nigeria is witnessing poor development.
The monarch, vice chairman, Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs, said this while addressing reporters at his palace during a visit by the Leader of C&S Church Movement (Ayo Ni o), Most Senior Special Apostle Emmanuel Alogbo.
The cleric, accompanied by his aides, hinted the monarch of the church’s plans to build a university, medical centre and other infrastructures in the town.
Oba Alao urged the cleric to lay a good example of following Jesus Christ in deeds, saying most religious leaders in Nigeria had abandoned the primary goal of soul winning for material wealth and comfort.
He advised Nigerians to pray God to touch the hearts of political leaders so they could live and lead in His fear.
He said: “Let us pray for Nigeria that God should turn the hearts of our leaders to fear Him.
“Ninety five per cent of leaders at the federal, state and local government levels are possessed.
“Most of the Imams and General Overseers are corrupt and perverted; they can’t preach the gospel to people that need to be saved.
“We need to pray for them so that they can have the fear of the Lord to rule this nation. It is terrible that religious leaders do not fear God.“
Responding to Alogbo, Olugbon said: “May God strengthen you with grace and good health to accomplish your plans for the development of Orile-Igbon.’’
