Jimi Agbaje, former governorship aspirant on the platform of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos state has pleaded with Catholic members
in Nigeria to help nurture the spiritual growth of Nigerians so that they can
be closer to God.
Agbaje made the call Monday during a tree planting exercise organized
by St. Raphael Catholic Church, Anthony village, Lagos, south-west Nigeria.
His words: “Planting a
seed is also a spiritual exercise. A seed that you plant can also touch lives,
catholics are guilty of something, we don’t plant seed and maybe we feel we
don’t want to evangelize or we don’t need to preach the message.”
Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra state also called for
genuine spirituality among Nigerians as exemplified by Mother Theresa.
Obi stated this yesterday at the Vatican City after the
canonisation of Mother Theresa.
He said the life of St. Theresa of Calcutta was an illumination
of service to God through service to the people.
