Osinbajo Urges Churches to Question Politicians’ Donations
Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called on churches to scrutinize donations from politicians and other individuals to support evangelism, emphasizing the need for transparency and integrity. Speaking on Saturday during the inaugural lecture in honor of the late senior pastor of Fountain of Life Church, Taiwo Odukoya, Osinbajo highlighted the importance of questioning the sources of such funds.
Addressing the congregation, Osinbajo stated, “How often do those who receive money from politicians and from other sources ask for the source of the money?” He stressed that the church has a critical role in inculcating good values that Christians in public service can uphold.
Osinbajo’s remarks come at a time when the integrity of financial contributions to religious institutions is increasingly under scrutiny. He urged religious leaders to take a proactive stance in ensuring that donations are sourced ethically, reflecting the core values of Christianity.
Why Osinbajo Urges Churches to Question Politicians’ Donations
The lecture, held in Lagos, served as a platform to honor Pastor Taiwo Odukoya’s legacy while addressing pressing issues facing the church today. Osinbajo’s call to action aims to foster a culture of accountability within religious institutions, ensuring that their activities align with moral and ethical standards.
By advocating for greater transparency in church donations, Osinbajo hopes to strengthen the moral fabric of the community and ensure that the church remains a beacon of integrity in society.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
