Poverty Is Not a Crime – Senate President Akpabio Tells Nigerians from Rome | #Politicsnigeria


Senate President Godswill Akpabio has told Nigerians that poverty is not a crime.

He made the comment in Rome after attending the funeral of Pope Francis last Saturday at the Vatican. Akpabio led a five-member federal government delegation to the event.

Speaking in an interview with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) via Zoom, Akpabio said:

“When you look at the Catholic Church, the Catholic Church is not just a church. The Vatican is also regarded as a state. So you have the head of state that died and was buried today. You also have the country that headed this flock all over the world, well over 1.5 billion in number.

“And you have a man who died as a man today, the Pope, who was worth only $100, showing that yes, we cannot worship God in splendour and that the best way to worship God is to worship God through self-sacrifice for others.

“So the message is very clear that Nigerians should love one another and that poverty is not a crime and that poverty could sometimes be a virtue, a virtue of God and that whatever you have you should be able to share with your brothers and sisters and above all in this period of Easter.”

Pope Francis passed away last Monday.

Na Apc supporters him day talk to not sensible Nigerians and he's right on his assertions. People that protested when dollar was 165 and fuel 89naira now that same dollar and fuel are sold for 1600 and 900 they are cool with that. You can see they love poverty.

How can a man who was presiding over a multibillion dollar institution be said to be poor??

Says Rev father Akpabio 🤨

But the other pastor said God doesn't like poor people that's why Jesus never visited a poor person during his life time. Oga Akpabio where you learn your own scripture from?

But the Pope wasn't poor, he was only selfless

You can't preside over such gathering and be referred to as poor

This is what our dear APC fans go call marketing the country😄😄😄

Yet the crook have #108B corruption that was waved off his head because he joined the bandwagon of heartless criminals. These people just kept on insulting the sensibility of the downtrodden citizens of this nation.

This one na werey....
How can a growth up man will just open mouth 👄 waaaaaaa like warehouse door and talk...

Yes. , Poverty is not a crime. It is a sickness. Run away from the sickness

I think you don't know what you are saying?? " Poverty " is forbidden, you may not be rich but counted but POVERTY ::: Baba Akpabio you don't know what you are saying if you mean what you said.

Akpabio wey get loud mouth ordinarily

Helinues, Yarimo and Co.....Akpabio has spoken...... poverty is not a crime.

Akpabio i pray this day for you to taste poverty so that you can explain better next time

Akpabio is just a foolish talker.
Most of these leaders are 💯 daft.

Akpabio our next president..

God bless the good people of Southsouth and southwest

Yeah he’s right but he didn’t complete the statement…

Poverty is not a crime but a choice

Yet they keep stealing to enrich themselves.

This clown has started again, because Natasha has apologized to him.

He has started talking like a blockhead again

Poverty is not only measured in money. But that Crook called Akpabiu has no moral right to talk all this gibberish he is talking. I pray that God should judge them harshly for all their wicked acts towards poor and helpless Nigerians.

That's why Tinupoo0 is hellbent on making every Nigerian poor?

A virtue Akpabio has rejected.😂😂😂

And you have amassed so much wealth at the detriment of Nigerian citizens?? St akpabio

It is in Nigeria

APC is an irresponsible govt.

Mr SP sir,I disagree with you,as a Christian poverty is not a virtue and I reject it in Jesus mighty name.
