“We have always told those in government that the reason they were elected is to see to the prosperity of the people. If they fail in that duty, they will stand before God one day. God is going to ask them one day how they conducted themselves while in a position of power.
“We are not making it in terms of security. We have a long way to go. The security architecture must be rejigged. The country has to employ more hands. We are under the police. We are told that a local government in Niger State is bigger than the entire southeast, how many policemen do we have in that kind of place. We can do better than what we have.
On the poor salaries being paid to Pastors, the CAC president said the church has set up a Committee to review the salaries of the Pastors upward as well as put smiles on the faces of the pastors.
“We wish we could increase the salaries of our Pastors every year. When you look at the inflationary trend in the country, Pastors are human, we need to sit and think of how we can make life better for them. It is something we do every five years. But this time, we want to put smiles on our Pastors’ faces.”
