Anti corruption preacher and Deputy National President (South South) Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigerian (PFN), Rev. Simeon Okah has revealed that the church has been infected by corruption.

During his end of year press briefing at the church’s headquarter in Warri, Delta state, he said that we now live in a country where ushers steal from tithes and offerings.

He said: “Corruption has eaten so deep into the society that it is no just about politicians alone. In the church, you have to almost always pray with one eye opened because in some of the places, even some ushers and finance people steal the offerings. It is terrible.”

He also said that the president is surrounded by lots of corrupt officials and there will need to be drastic change, if he is to clean up the nation.

He said: “I agree that the President is surrounded by a lot of corrupt people and it is like when he removes one bad egg, he replaces with two bad eggs. But I have no doubt that the president is a favored child and he has the magic wand to make change.

“I believe he is being limited presently by the way he came in and the challenges of security being faced by his government and there the lure to please all sides. The moment he is returned for another term, things would not be same again. He is going to make the difference”‘ Okah said.

Okah is the founder and General Overseer of Flocks of Christ Mission, spoke and has been holding anti-corruption crusade in NIgeria.
