EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede recently shared a personal story in an interview with Channels Television that emphasizes the value of integrity in leadership. During an investigation, Olukoyede's investigators believed they had evidence of wrongdoing, but it turned out that the accounts in question belonged to the Redeemed Church, to which Olukoyede is a signatory.
Olukoyede stressed the need for leaders to have clean hands and a pure heart, citing the curse that Baba Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Church, would place on anyone who touches the church's finances. This experience serves as a potent reminder that integrity is the best line of defense against trouble.
As leaders, we have a responsibility to be aware of the effects of our acts and to keep our hands clean and our hearts pure. By doing this, we can uphold the highest standards of integrity in the face of difficulty and foster trust with our constituents.
Many find inspiration in Olukoyede's dedication to moral leadership, and his life experiences serve as a constant reminder that integrity is the cornerstone of credibility and trust. As he has done, let us all endeavor to lead honorable lives and create a culture that appreciates moral leadership.
In his own words, ''When I was being investigated, there was a time they thought they had me. They saw so many accounts that I was signatory to but they discovered it was Redeemed Church account. I said the curse that Baba Adeboye will put on you if you touch his church money."
