Senate President Godswill Akpabio Has Urged Nigerians To Draw Inspiration From The Life And Legacy Of Pope Francis, Describing Him As A Symbol Of Humility And Selflessness Whose Values Align With Nigeriaโs Present Socioeconomic Challenges.
Speaking From The Vatican During A Broadcast On The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Akpabio, Who Represented The Nigerian Government At The Popeโs Funeral, Encouraged Nigerians To View Poverty Not As A Sign Of Failure Or Shame, But As A Possible Reflection Of Spiritual Depth.
โPoverty Is Not A Crime, And Sometimes, It Can Be A Virtue Of God,โ He Stated.
