Anti-corruption fight must start from churches, says Osinbajo

Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo
The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, on Sunday said for corruption to be completely eradicated in the country, the fight against the menace must start from churches.
He said it was only when church leaders resolve to ostracise and expose corrupt members of their congregation that the problem could be solved.
Osinbajo spoke at a special service organised to mark this year’s Father’s Day at the Aso Villa Chapel located inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Acting President, who himself is a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, said church leaders must begin to talk more on honesty, unlike the current situation that more emphasis is placed on giving.
“Every time that we come to church, we are told about giving.  But we need to talk more about honesty.  We need to talk far more about honesty.  In the same way we talk about giving, we need to talk more about honesty,” he declared.
Osinbajo said church leaders must be ready to confront their members who are living above their means.
