Corruption is the result of wrong value, cleric says

The Senior Pastor of Praise Arena, Kingdom Light Christian Centre, Pastor Jummy Adetoyese-Olagunju, has charged the federal government to put in place mechanisms that promote ethics and selfless service in public and private sectors.

This is because according to the cleric, the right value system will produce a good society whereas an awful value system if allowed to fester, will ultimately breed an unsustainable society.

Adetoyese-Olagunju made the charge while bemoaning the spate of inequality, corruption, nepotism, inequity and criminality which he said can only be addressed when the right value system is institutionalised, reports the Vanguard.

Speaking ahead of the church’s special praise night holding on Friday in commemoration of the Easter celebration in Lagos, Pastor Adetoyese-Olagunju commended federal government’s efforts in fighting corruption through the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) noting that corruption goes beyond financial improprieties.

His words: “It is a problem of wrong values that the people hold and exhibit in their daily lives. It is sad that many public office holders entrusted with public funds enrich themselves and members of their families with public funds and leave the people they are leading in penury, abject poverty and untold frustration.”

The cleric also urged believers not to lose the meanings of Easter but by their lives “exemplify the values of sacrifice, love and honesty that Jesus truly represent.” He also urged Christians to use the Easter season as an opportunity to reach out to the poor, vulnerable, hopeless, frustrated and depressed people in the society.

The Church will make an indelible ink in the sand of time if the Easter season is used to show love. I imagine the Church standing at the gate of prisons across the country, embracing prisoners who are set free and are ready to give the ex-convicts a new lease on life,” he adds.
