Pastor of Christ Livingspring Apostolic Ministry, Wole Oladiyun, on Sunday said it was wrong for pastors to pray for “unworthy” politicians.
Oladiyun said in a sermon in his church that politicians, who had oppressed the citizens of the country knowingly or through negligence, should not be prayed for, saying any pastor that prayed for them had committed a sin.
The CLAM General Overseer said, “Why should somebody, who has pocketed millions of Naira meant to improve the standard of living of the populace be prayed for?
“After coveting money meant for roads, people ride on those roads and lose their lives. They are dead because of these politicians who later come for prayers. This is a sin.
“Pastors know that this is wrong and yet some would go ahead to pray for them. Whether they are governors or the President, they are all guilty and many have died because of them. These kinds are an abomination, and should therefore not be prayed for.
“I refuse to be a part of this category.”
