Primate Samuel Bisi Ademosu, founder of Mount Jieaworrar All Saints Church of Christ, has criticised Nigerian politicians for putting themselves first.

Speaking at the 2026 convention and 22nd anniversary thanksgiving service of the Celestial Church of Christ in Agidingbi, Ikeja, he urged politicians to ease the suffering of ordinary people as the 2027 elections approach.

Ademosu said politicians send their children to study abroad while failing to keep up standards for local youths, and he pointed to rising homelessness and hard drug use among young people.

He told leaders to change their attitudes and remember that the country's wealth belongs to all Nigerians and must be preserved for future generations.

President of the United Aladura Churches, Most Rev. Araloyin Isaiah Oyeyemi, urged Nigerians to pray for the country during political transitions.

He said only righteous leaders who fear God can lift the people out of their hardship.

Former UAC president Samson Banjo said Nigeria's unity has been held together by the prayers of white garment churches.
