Obasanjo urges Church to be ‘Militant’ in driving righteousness, transformation

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo called on the Nigerian Church to take a more active and 'militant' role in promoting righteousness, peace, and societal transformation during the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Annual LAWMNA International Convention of The Apostolic Church Nigeria (TACN). He emphasized that being 'militant' meant being zealous and active in service, not violent, and argued that Nigeria could achieve greater progress if the Church fulfilled its divine responsibilities. Obasanjo highlighted the global prevalence of conflict and questioned why Nigeria continues to face insecurity and poverty despite its large Christian population. He encouraged the Church to contribute positively to society and transform Nigeria into a prosperous nation. In his sermon, TACN President Pastor Lawrence Olusesan Oladele spoke about the challenges and persecution faced by the Church worldwide, urging believers to remain steadfast in their faith.

Bias read (Center): The article presents Obasanjo's speech and the TACN president's remarks without overtly favoring one side. It reports both perspectives neutrally, focusing on the content of their messages rather than endorsing or criticizing them. There is no clear ideological slant in the language or framing of报道.
