REVD FATHER PETER OGUNRINU
A Catholic cleric,Revd Father Peter Ogunrinu has bared his mind on the state of the nation positing that governments ought to do more in the area of infrastructure and people’s welfare.
Father OGUNRINU in an exclusive chat with Top People’s News Media at the Saint Patrick Catholic Cathedral in Ado -Ekiti opined that governments should focus on ways to ameliorate harsh living condition of the populace.
While commending the Ekiti State Government on its recent efforts on road construction and prompt payment of workers salaries,he averred that basic needs are the rights and privileges which the citizens are entitled to and they ought not be denied.
The cleric however aligned with the Federal Government’s position that the Reformation agenda is geared towards restoring the nation’s lost glory, asserting that the programme is bound to yield positive dividends for the nation.
Revd Ogunrinu therefore urged Nigerians to be patient with the Federal Government so that the government can achieve its desired goal.
In his words: What we are surffering now will not be in vain and with time we are going to enjoy “, adding that nothing good comes easy.
The Revd Father also during the chat disabuse the mind of christians on the fear that some groups of people are planning to Islamise the nation saying,it is just the figment of the people’s imagination.
He however noted that the islamisation phobia is as a result of the fact that most of the positions in the highest echelon of the political heirachy in the nation is occupied by Muslims and that such office holders are not likely to make policies that will favour christians.
