While giving the opening charge, the chairman of Lagos ANCEDRAM, Evangelist Isaac Afolahan says there is a need for leaders to gather, to hear the truth; saying many leaders are leading association they knew nothing about. He reiterated that the anointing flow from the head and leaders should be careful of whatever they do as a way of influencing their followers, adding that if a leader is a liar, invariably, the follower will learn to become greater liars.

Many leaders have forgotten their abode. Leadership is not by stature”, Moses Makinde added.
