The Senior Pastor and founder of House on the Rock, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, has pleaded with his church members to make Peter Obi their friend.
The cleric, who gave the advice during the just concluded Communion service at the Rock Cathedral, Lagos, described Obi as his personal friend.
Adefarasin said that having followed Obi over the years, that he saw in him the embodiment of those virtues House on the Rock continued to preach which those in public service required to uplift the society in accordance to the ethics of Christ.
The pastor, however, appealed to all those aspiring to leadership to be humble in full realization that serving the people well and faithfully was also a way of serving God.
A member of the church, who introduced himself as Gbenga Oloye also said that he had followed Obi and was in total agreement with what the pastor said.
His words: “For people like me, the pastor was only preaching to the converted.”
He said that he was sure that if Obi would remain the Obi of Anambra State in terms of the work he did in the state as governor and his conduct in public service that Nigeria would become a changed place.
Also at the event, Mr. Peter Obi called on Nigerians to remain prayerful for the country and its leaders so that the leaders would realize that using the resources of the state to work for the state is a win-win for everybody.
