UK-based clergyman Pastor Tobi Adegboyega has retaliated against Nigerian critics who have condemned his penchant for luxury items, urging greater scrutiny of affluent pastors in the country.

In a scathing statement, Adegboyega, renowned for his extravagant lifestyle, addressed the backlash over his designer attire and lavish automobiles. Drawing parallels with Nigerian pastors who own private jets, he questioned why the public overlooks their extravagant assets while targeting him.

“Nigerians should permit me to wear what I desire,” Adegboyega declared. “Their pastors own private jets. Why not scrutinize their possessions instead of mine?”

The outspoken pastor accused Nigerian pastors of concealing their wealth.

Adegboyega dismissed concerns about returning to Nigeria despite the criticisms. Highlighting his simplicity beneath the surface, he added, “I am not intimidated by the prospect of returning to Nigeria, as I can survive with minimal possessions.”

The pastor’s remarks have sparked widespread debate, reigniting discussions about the opulent lifestyles of religious leaders and their accountability to their congregations. Adegboyega, who leads the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation) in London, has long been a polarizing figure for his flashy displays of wealth and unconventional approach to ministry.

Hundreds of people queued to visit the tomb of the late Pope Francis at the St. Mary Major church in Rome on Sunday.

Mourners began lining up to visit the tomb of the late Pope Francis at the St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome on Sunday.

The church, where the late pope is buried in a simple underground tomb, in keeping with his wishes, opened its doors to the faithful at 7 a.m. Vatican time (0500 GMT).

While many of his predecessors are buried at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, Francis chose the basilica because he revered it, oftentimes visiting before and after trips abroad or hospital stays.

Francis became the first pontiff in over a century to be buried outside the grounds of the Vatican, when he was laid to rest in a private ceremony.

He added, “today was not the day for big politicking,’’ broadcaster ABC reported.

According to news agency AAP, both leaders cancelled scheduled campaign events but will proceed with the third leaders’ debate on Tuesday night.

Albanese, a Catholic, called Pope Francis “one of the most significant of all the holy fathers,’’ praising his humility and focus on social justice.
