Pastors Are Citizens Too, Says Poju Oyemade: ‘We’ve Done Our Part’

Pastors Are Citizens Too, Says Poju Oyemade: ‘We’ve Done Our Part’ — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Pastor Poju Oyemade says religious leaders should not be expected to fix all of Nigeria’s problems. He spoke about a politician who was surprised that top business and bank executives serve in church. The politician argued that those professionals could help the nation if they showed the same dedication to national development. Oyemade stressed that pastors are citizens with rights and duties like any other Nigerian. He said they have already done their work and asked people to leave them alone. This statement was shared on a popular blog.

It's interesting that Poju Oyemade highlights business executives in church but still downplays their potential contribution to national development.

I'm not convinced a pastor's primary role should change just because they hold a corporate title outside the pulpit.

Perhaps churches could set up mentorship programs pairing leaders with professionals to channel skills towards community development.
