His view of Christians in politics
If Christians don’t help, thieves will take over and ruin Christians.
The winners (leadership) told us to keep politics and the ministry separate. We who work full-time can’t even think about it because it takes so much time and focus. But because we are the light of the world, we also think Christians should be active in politics.
So, we back people who have the courage to run for office and pray for them. But instead of staying out of politics and agreeing with those who don’t like it, we should get active.
Marital Status
Faith, Love, Thomas (Junior), and Emmanuel are the names of his four children. He is happily marrie to Pastor (Mrs.) Elizabeth Moradeyo Aremu, who is also a pastor and mother of his beloved children
