The National President of Diocesan Priests of Nigeria, Rev. Fr. Sylvester Onmoke has enjoined those entrusted with the leadership at all levels in the country to discharge such responsibilities with the fear of God and with a sense of responsibility to the poor, needy and the less privileged in the society, reports PETER DURU, Makurdi.

Fr. Onmoke said it was only by so doing that one could claim to have contributed positively to the development of humanity on earth.

He spoke during the homily at the burial mass of late Sir Stephen Adole, father-in-law of the immediate past senate president, Senator David Mark, at Adoka in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State. The clergy said; “it would be worthwhile to do that which will positively impact humanity in whatever place or position we find ourselves that, is the only way we can make the world a better place to live in.

While acknowledging the good deeds of the deceased, the priest noted that it was the good work of the late philanthropist that compelled all and sundry to gather from all works of life, to celebrate him saying that his lifestyle was worthy of emulation.
