Rivers Politicians Are Bringing Nigeria To Ruin -Utomi

Founder of Lagos Business School, Professor Pat Utomi, has accused politicians from Rivers State of bringing Nigeria to a ruin by destroying its institutions.

Utomi made the accusation yesterday in Port Harcourt while delivering a keynote address during a public lecture, with the theme: “Role of the Church in Nation Building.”

The public lecture, which attracted prominent religious leaders as well as academicians, was held to mark the 60th birthday of the senior pastor of the Hilltop International Christian Centre, Rev. Chris Oarhe.

Utomi said, “Rivers State has not done better. I love that song, Port Harcourt boys oooooh, but Port Harcourt boys are bringing Nigeria to a ruin. They are destroying Nigeria’s institutions; judiciary, electoral commission.

“All those pillars of our society are being grabbed by the narcissist, self-loving political class that thinks nothing about tomorrow.”

He stated that the world has made significant progress due to the advent of Christianity, pointing out that it is only the Church that can help in rebuilding morals in the society.

In his remarks, senior pastor of Hilltop International Christian Centre, Rev. Chris Oarhe, insisted that for a nation to change, it will need the contribution of the church.

Oarhe said, “If the nation is going to change, it needs the church. If the nation is going to be transformed, the leadership of the nation must be transformed. It is the church that will provide the leadership that will save the nation and the world.”
