THE newly consecrated Bishop of Akure
Diocese of the Anglican Church, Rt. Rev.
Simeon Borokini, has criticised Nigerian
leaders who flagrantly display wealth by
celebrating birthdays, marriages and other
programmes in foreign countries despite
the increasing level of poverty in the
country.
Borokini said this while delivering the
bishop's charge to the first session of the
eleventh synod with the theme, "Riches of
His Glory at the St. David's Cathedral, Ijomu,
Akure.
He said that ""even government officials
now use public funds to sponsor private
marriages to be celebrated in far away and
exotic cities of the world".
According to him "in a country that is faced
with bad economy, we witness the
disturbing and most expensive way some
people celebrate marriages, birthdays,
burials, promotions, chieftaincy titles and
the so-called house warming.
