The Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate(LP) Peter Obi, has stated that it doesn’t stand to reason for any rational human being to claim to have receive credit alerts through prayer.

Obi stressed that such claim borders on the delusional and criminal adding that anyone who makes it should be investigated for potential theft or possible mental health challenge.

The former Anambra State governor said this in a clip from his interview on the Honest Bunch podcast released on Sunday.

He emphasised the importance of hard work and productivity, stating that God cannot bless “someone who is sleeping.”

He said: “God can bless hard work; God can bless productivity; God can bless an industry, but God cannot bless someone who is sleeping.

“Anyone who tells you that he got an alert from praying should be arrested. He has stolen someone’s money. Simple!”

Addressing the controversy surrounding tithing, Obi suggested that charitable works are forms of tithing.

“If you go to the hospital, it’s tithing. If you help poor people, it’s tithing,” he said.

In addition, Obi urged political leaders who prioritise financial gain to reconsider their career path, stating that leadership should focus on serving the people, not on personal gain.

He said, “Being a leader is not a money-making venture. You’re not competing with Dangote. Dangote is a businessman. You should focus on what you were elected for.

“You must choose your lane; if you want to be in government, be in government and serve the people. If you want to be a businessman, go and trade.”

Tithing, divine credit alerts etc have become vexatious subject matters in the Church. Consequently, they have generated a lot of debates and polarised Christian faithful in Nigeria.
