From Nigeria-The Archbishop, Metropolitan and Primate of All Nigeria, Anglican Communion, the Most Reverend Nicholas D. Okoh has berated public officers who embezzle public funds, declaring them as real enemies of Nigeria.
Primate Okoh made this known on Wednesday in his opening address at the 12th general Synod of the Church in Port Harcourt which is ongoing.
He said, “Those who embezzle public funds are enemies of Nigeria, no matter what they say, their faith and the position they occupy.”
Stressing that stealing and corruption are signs of sinful nature of man and lack of fear of God, Most Reverend Okoh lamented that stealing of public funds has become commonplace in Nigeria because of those involved.
He said, “it is indisputable that many wealthy persons and political figures, especially in Africa, have been guilty of corruption, enlarging their business empire and perpetuating themselves in the office by unrighteousness and oppression.
“They defraud others by taking advantage of those who are unable to defend their rights or speak for themselves.”
