MON, AUGUST 21 2023-theGBJournal |An Anglican cleric, Venerable (Dr) Matthew Iyede has said that corruption still persists in Nigeria because leaders were not contented with what they had.
Ven. Iyede who is Archdeacon of Otovwodo Archdeaconry, spoke on Sunday at the thanksgiving service of the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Delta State, Sir Festus Ahon, at St. Matthias Anglican Church, Up-Agbarho, Ughelli.
He charged leaders in the country to wholeheartedly embrace the virtues of honesty, integrity and contentment in the discharge of their duties.
Ven Iyede harped on the need for leaders at different levels of government in the country to be in touch with those they are leading, adding that they should always endeavour to do things that are pleasing to God.
The cleric whose sermon was titled “Divine Purpose,” disclosed that everything on earth has a purpose, adding that the purpose of Jesus Christ coming to the world was to save humanity from eternal condemnation.
He stressed the need for Nigerians and those in positions of authorities to be prayerful in all that they do, even as he prayed for sustainable peace and unity in the country and Delta State.
