The Lead Pastor at The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Living Seed, Leke Adeboye, has called on the Federal government to give priority to grassroots development for meaning growth in the country.
He spoke during a crusade tagged 'Jesus in the Park's held in Ikeja.
According to him, “The situation we are in today didn’t start recently; we are suffering the after effects of bad governance and poor judgment. It will take the help of prayer and the support of everyone to improve things. When politicians want to get elected, they go everywhere, hold town hall meetings, and campaign vigorously.
“Once they are in power, they should return to those people, continue holding town hall meetings, and stay engaged. You can’t feel the pulse of the people if you don’t check.
“My advice to the government is to revisit and address past issues and communicate with citizens about their actions. This way, people will understand why things are the way they are, how long it might take to see changes, and how to be patient. The same energy used during campaigning should be applied when in office. Politicians should come to the grassroots, local governments,” the cleric said.
