Paul Adefarasin Blasts Corrupt Public Officers, calls On Nigerian Youths To excercise Their Civic Duty by Registering To Vote!

"Nothing will make me more eternally glad, than to see change". 

These were the words of Paul Adefarasin, the Senior Pastor of House On The Rock Church (HORT), during the annual thanks-given, which also commemorates the 20th anniversary celebration service of the Church on Sunday, 14 December, 2014.

The outspoken cleric/ social reformer speared no stone upturned, when he out-rightly condemned some noxious practices of corrupt politicians and public office holders, in his speech at the event, which held at the Rock Cathedral in Lagos.

He further called on Nigerian youths especially, to step up to what is constitutionally required of them, and register in order to ensure that individuals of impeccable characters are voted into public offices, come 2015.  "a country should not be ruled by the worse, it should be served by the best" he said.

Adefarasin emphasized on the need for qualitative education, stressing that as long as the country does not have a good educational structure, we will continue to have un-enlightened minds deliberating over the affairs of the nation.

He revealed that proceeds from the thanksgiving will go to various benevolent organizations like the orphanage, old people's homes, and several fields for the development of the society.

The cleric rounded off his speech by urging Nigerian youths to be part of the solution to the challenges that plagued the nation, and not part of the problem.
