Following a publication which quoted the House On The Rock Church’s senior pastor, Pastor Adefarasin to have said Nigeria’s economy is in prison under the current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Senior pastor has reacted to the statement credited to him.
In a statement released yesterday, Monday, Pastor Adefrasin noted that the statement he made was quoted out of context adding that he had no reason to mock the President or the country’s present economic state.
Pastor Adefarasin’s statement as regards the quote reads:
A national newspaper in its edition of 23rd of July 2016, wrongly credited Pastor Paul Adefarasin with a statement about the Nigerian economy being in prison.
Pastor Adefarasin’s only reference to the economy is quoted here: “If you believe that Nigeria will prosper again, that not only will our oil wells boom once more but that our economy and industry will diversify to express the diverse talent in the heart and in the bossom of several Nigerians north and south, east and west, I want you to shout your biggest amen.
“He did not say the Nigerian Economy was in prison as reported by the newspaper and some of the online blogs have since carried the story.”
