Former education minister under Obasanjo's regime and former
World Bank President, Oby Ezekwesili has revealed she couldn't
afford to pay her mother's rents when she was minister ..She made
the made the comments on Thursday, 13 November, while speaking
at the ongoing national convention of the Foursquare Gospel
Church...
“There were times I couldn't pay my mother’s rent, not
because I couldn't make a choice and build her a mansion.
When I was in government, we had to withdraw our three
children from their school to Baptist Special School. I was
(just) answering big titles. Some of you would have said, ‘They
are eating our money’. May God save those who speak without
knowledge! I am not saying this so that you can say I am holy,
I have my shortcomings.”“Integrity will cost you a lot. Anyone
who talks about integrity without the cost is preaching what I
do not know about. Integrity can require a supreme cost from
you. You will be persecuted for making the choice of integrity
but make that choice nonetheless."
