Former Minister for Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Michael Kaase Aondoakaa, SAN, says that no one is above God, saying that it’s he that gives life and everything required to keep life going. He emphasized that even the pope, the president, Governor, or any position one holds can never be said to be above God.
Chief Aondoakaa stated this when he chaired the 2025 Harvest/Thanksgiving and Bazaar of St. Dominic’s Parish, Sachi in Makurdi. The former AGF publicly returned thanks to God for his life’s journey emphasizing that everything he has become, all he has attained or achieved are by God’s grace, adding that every ambition he holds is entrusted to God’s will and surrendered to the supreme authority and power of God.
The Ivaanayange i Tiv emphasized the importance of gratitude, humility, and unshaken faith, urging the faithful to always acknowledge God as the ultimate source of success and direction in life.
Earlier in his homily, Rev. Fr. Peter Apagher admonished parishioners to live out the true meaning of God’s laws cautioning against hypocrisy even as he urged the faithful not to emulate the scribes and Pharisees as referenced in the day’s scriptural readings, but to practice genuine obedience, love, and righteousness.
The harvest celebration featured prayers, thanksgiving offerings, and communal fellowship, drawing parishioners and guests from across the state in a spirit of gratitude and renewal.
