Politicians are warned by clerics that greed is causing misery in Nigeria.

Clerics warn lawmakers that greed is causing suffering in Nigeria (EDE). To lessen the degree of suffering in Nigeria, well-known Islamic cleric Imam Muideen Salman has asked politicians to stop the greed epidemic.
Giving a speech at the Osun NYSC camp during the Fidau prayer of Mama Hajarat Akinleye, the mother of Osun Governor Kazeem Akinleye's chief of staff, Ede urged the political class to embrace a life of service rather than selfishness.
He called on politicians to put the needs of the people above their own interests, arguing that since the people allowed them to get to positions of power, they should spend their time helping the people rather than acting as oppressors.

As he addressed the lawmakers present with his sermon, the cleric the wellbeing of the masses you ride to power on. The selfishness of politicians is causing hardship for these masses. You must lessen your greed and selfishness to make life livable for the impoverished in order to avoid God's vengeance.

He went on, "You all need to understand that political power is only temporary and that you will be held accountable for your actions on the day of judgment and after you leave office."
