The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha says that the reckless abandon and destructive confidence with which certain Christians move about, defying the set rules to prevent the spread of the coronavirus is alarming and worrisome.
Mustapha disclosed this at the Interdenominational Church Prayer Service, organised by the Nigerian Interreligious Council (NIREC).
The SGF called on church leaders to ensure their congregation adhere strictly to the rules and guidelines by teaching and instructing them wisely.
“if you have no business going out, stay at home, it is scriptural and I will undertone this with a quotation for Proverbs 14:16 where the bible says the Wise are cautious and avoid danger, fools plonks ahead with reckless confidence.
“And I see a lot of Christians exhibiting reckless confidence and the Bible describes them as fools.
“Stay at home if you don’t have a business going out, that is the safest place you have, if you have every genuine reason to go out, as mandatory, wear a face mask.
“My admonition to the church is that we must exhibition of reckless confidence and tell our people the truth and ask them to do the proper things so that they can stay safe for their families, communities and for the body of Christ.
“It is not designed to afflict us. Every step we have taken as a Presidential task force has been intended to provide for the good and welfare of the citizens.”
