Odioko, who spoke yesterday in Warri on behalf of PFN, wondered when the confab delegates turned to lawmakers.
According to the Presiding Bishop of Jesus Dominion Church, the confab delegates should concentrate on issues that will restore Nigeria’s dwindling image and the terrorism challenges.
“I am shocked and amazed that with the myriad of problems confronting Nigeria, it is the Church that the delegates decide to tax, instead of focusing their energy on important and serious matters.”
