Adeoye speaks about clerics
He said:
“Clerics receive their wages too, and the Bible has given a clear directive on how they should be paid. If people have any issue with the way they are paid, they should take it up with God who called those clerics. I don’t know if they expect them not to wear good clothes or eat good food.”
