An Ex-Minister, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi has urged churches to stop showing favouritism towards rich people whose source of wealth is questionable.

A former Minister of External Affairs, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, in Lagos on Wednesday advised Nigerian churches to stop patronising the rich with a questionable source of wealth.

Akinyemi gave the advice while speaking with journalists at the Centenary Anniversary Lecture of the Anglican Church held at All Souls’ Church, Lekki, Lagos.

The theme of the lecture, organised by the Diocese of Lagos, is ‘The Church and Good Governance”.

Akinyemi urged churches to continue to preach against the evil of abuse of office by public officials.

“The church has to stop showing favouritism towards rich people whose source of their wealth is questionable; the church should stop worshipping them,” he said.
