Peter Obi says people claiming to receive credit alerts from prayer should be arrested

According to The Punch, Obi stated this during an interview on the Honest Bunch podcast released on Sunday, November 3.

The former Anambra state governor said those claiming to have received money through prayer stole other people’s money.

He argued that God cannot bless “someone who is sleeping” while emphasising the importance of hard work and productivity.

“God can bless hard work; God can bless productivity; God can bless an industry, but God cannot bless someone who is sleeping.“Anyone who tells you that he got an alert from praying should be arrested. He has stolen someone’s money. Simple!”

The politician suggested that charitable works like paying hospital bills and helping the poor are forms of tithing.

Obi urged political leaders to focus on governance and not compete with businessmen like Aliko Dangote.

“Being a leader is not a money-making venture. You’re not competing with Dangote. Dangote is a businessman. You should focus on what you were elected for.“You must choose your lane; if you want to be in government, be in government and serve the people. If you want to be a businessman, go and trade.”
