Cherubim and Seraphim church leader Marian Talabi warned that Christians risk bad governance if they avoid politics. At a press briefing in Lagos on the church's 50th anniversary, she urged Christians to become actively involved in politics and not leave the country’s governance to those whose values may conflict with Christian principles.
Talabi emphasized the importance of genuine Christians holding leadership positions at the grassroots, state, and federal levels. She stressed that Christians who refuse to engage in politics would have little moral basis to complain when decisions made by those they disagree with affect them. Talabi cited the biblical principle of righteousness and urged Nigerian youths to take up leadership responsibilities.
The church's chairman, Segun Adelaja, noted that the late founder, Maria Ogunyooye, believed in preparing young people to lead. The church is currently pursuing projects like a clinic and a proposed auditorium, with the clinic building ready for unveiling and the auditorium estimated at N5bn.
