Archbishop John Praise of the Dominion Chapel International Churches (DCIC), Abuja, has called on Nigerian politicians to focus more on affecting the lives of Nigerians positively, rather than devising ways to embezzle public funds.

He gave this admonition while speaking at the 10th year memorial and thanksgiving service of the founder of Prayerlink Evangelical Ministries, Prophet Femi Agboola, in Abuja on Sunday.

While admonishing politicians to affect society positively, the archbishop said: “Most times, we judge people by how long they live but life is not measured by the number of years one lives on earth but by the impact one makes. Our politicians should come into power with the mindset of what to deliver.”

He enjoined political office holders to love the country, saying “if we love this country, we will build infrastructure, we will make sure that things are working.”

The clergyman urged the political class to stop stealing public funds, stressing that Nigerians were suffering.

“The problems in the country are caused by poverty. The problem of Boko Haram started as a result of poverty, the children were not going to school, the bandits started as a result of restiveness. We must provide solutions to the problems in the society so that we can have a nation we can be proud of,” he added.
