He said his action was also to teach Nigerians
to be conscious about death and thus change their negative ways of life. “I
believe that death is certain and I am going to end in that coffin,” he
said. The cleric also declared that former President
Olusegun Obasanjo was correct to have called Nigerian lawmakers armed robbers at
a function in Lagos recently.
According to him, Obasanjo’s
description of the country’s lawmakers as armed robbers was correct in every
sense of reasoning.
He accused the lawmakers of not having any
feeling for the suffering masses that voted for them, and warned
church leaders to abstain from evil practices,
claiming that only through this would they be able to salvage the country
