The Founder and General Overseer of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Ayodele Elijah, on Sunday lashed out at former President Olusegun Obasanjo for accusing the church and its leaders of masterminding corruption in Nigeria.
The fiery prophet described Obasanjo as the father of corruption.
The prophet revealed this in an interview with The Sun. He noted that the ex-president single handedly introduced corruption into the Nigerian system by offering bribes to virtually everyone and harrassing those who might turn down his offer with security agencies.
TheNewsGuru.com recalls that the former president last week said that churches receive bribe and encourage corruption in Nigeria.
In his words: “It was Obasanjo himself who introduced corruption into the church when he invited eminent politicians and personalities into his church in Ogun State, to donate heavily to the church.
“So, he has no moral right to condemn men of God, saying they encourage corruption. “The former president should just keep quiet on the issue of corruption, because he is corrupt and has corrupted the church.”
