John James Akpanudoedehe gave the charge on Tuesday at the 80th birthday thanksgiving and book launch of Venerable Emmanuel O. Ajayi (retd) which held at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Oboroke-Ihima in Okehi Local Government Area of Kogi state.
He said; “Clerics should not be silent when politicians go wrong”, adding that it is in “holding the political class accountable to the people that we can have the kind of society we desire.”
