Friday, March 29, 2024 - President Bola Tinubu has charged religious leaders against condemning Nigeria during their sermons.
He spoke on Thursday, March 28, during
Ramadan Iftar with traditional rulers and religious leaders at the State House
in Abuja.
Tinubu said if a leader is bad, he should
be voted out in the next election.
"The love of the nation is in your
hands. Pray for our country. Educate our children. The sermons we preach to the
members of our churches and mosques are important.
"Do not condemn your own nation. As a
Yoruba man and as our fathers will say, ‘no matter how slippery the bottom of
your child is, you must leave the beads there.’
"Leave the beads there. This is your
country; do not condemn it in sermons, do not abuse the nation. Leadership is
meant for changes.
”Yes, this leader is bad, fine. Wait until
the next election to change him, but do not condemn your country. Do not curse
Nigeria. This is a beautiful land."
