Senate President Godswill Akpabio has shared his thoughts on poverty, saying it is not a crime and can even be seen as a virtue from God.
Akpabio made this statement in Rome after attending the funeral of the late Pope Francis. While reflecting on the Pope’s life, he explained that being poor does not mean someone has done wrong. Instead, poverty can show humility, faith, and strong character.
He encouraged people to respect and show kindness to the poor, adding that true greatness is often found in living a humble life.
Akpabio’s message reminds everyone that material wealth is not the only measure of a good life, and that values like love, faith, and humility are more important.
