Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday urged churches in Nigeria to reassess their priorities and shift focus from wealth accumulation and prosperity to promotion of peace, productivity, and community development.
Osinbajo, who spoke at the 68th Anniversary and 58th Annual Convention of The Gospel Faith Mission International (GOFAMINT) in Abuja, argued that the current obsession with material wealth among some religious leaders has alienated many, particularly youths, who seek more meaningful messages from the pulpit.
He stressed that churches have neglected their true calling, promoting peace, unity, and societal development, and must return to their roots, preaching values like hard work, compassion, and community service.
