President of Christian As­sociation of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has criticised wealthy Nigeri­ans, who are so greedy that they are reluctant to help the less privileged fellow Nigerians.
Preaching a sermon at Delta State at the First Baptist Church, Warri, to mark the 60th birthday celebration of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, Orit­sejafor who commended the governor’s people-friendly policies, urged wealthy Nigerians to be their brother’s keeper.
“Sadly, a lot of people are suffering, while a few are enjoying. It is the wish of God that we assist each other, so that there will be no grumbling,” he said.
Quoting from the scriptures, Oritse­fajor, who is the founder of World of Life Bible Church Worldwide, harped on the need to assist the poor and God for favours.
“We should thank God for what we expect Him to do for us and what he has done for us. By so doing, we expect Him to do more for us and also conquer our known and unknown enemies,” said the CAN leader.
Oritsejafor congratulated Uduaghan on his attainment of the golden age of 60 years and prayed for long life and prosperity for him:
“What excites me about Gover­nor Uduaghan is his desire to serve God and do good. The governor has, no doubt, performed creditably to the admiration of the people of the state and Nigeria.”
Earlier, Uduaghan attributed his achievements to God, assuring that he would do more for the people with God on his side.
He recalled with nostalgia, how he was stopped by the law court in 2010, adding that God lifted him up and made him retain his governor­ship position.
