Nigerian politician Omoyele Sowore called out U.S. President Donald Trump for saying he hates his political rivals so much that he will not forgive them, even if it stops him from goin to heaven.
Sowore said leaders should focus on improving life for people here on earth rather than talking about heaven while millions suffer from poverty, war, persecution and displacement.
In a post online, he said the only heaven worth fighting for is a society where people are safe, earn fair wages, get good education and healthcare, and are treated with dignity.
He also spoke out against the treatment of immigrants, Palestinians and other vulnerable groups, saying governments have put policies in place that cause hardship.
He wrote that justice, dignity and freedom should be available in people's lifetime and cannot wait for the afterlife.
