Saturday, June 20, 2026 - Senior pastor Poju Oyemade has addressed growing calls for religious leaders to become more involved in Nigeria’s political and social challenges, saying pastors have already played their part and should not be expected to do everything.
Speaking during a sermon, Oyemade recalled a conversation
with a prominent politician who was surprised to see influential business
executives, bank executives, and other accomplished professionals serving in
church as ushers and volunteers.
According to him, the politician remarked that Nigeria could
experience significant change if people of such capacity applied the same
commitment to national development.
Reacting to frequent demands for pastors to “come out” and
fix the country's problems, Oyemade said religious leaders are citizens just
like everyone else.
"We have done our work. Don't call us beyond what we
have done. We are all citizens together. Please leave us alone," he said.
