The truth is, that the two sets of leaders play a great role in shaping the society and in times when conflict might arise in the society and the citizenry might not give a listening hear to the political leaders, the religious leaders become the immediate alternate that can calm the citizens down

The religious leaders are suppose to be good decider for the growth of the country because of their place in the society. Both the civilian and politicians are under the voice and respect of the religious leaders even the holy books give so much direction to them and by saying the people rejoice when the righteous is on the throne meaning they are suppose to do the right thing but whether they have done the right things is questionable and another argument entirely. Even those who hold religious offices who have found themselves in political offices have turned total politicians with impunity as it is with the ordinary politicians.

There have been many submissions that religious leaders have not played adequate role to lead politicians into doing the right things because some religious leaders are just answering whatever religious name ascribed to the office without really doing the work of God and so they also deceive the people which the politicians are part of the people. Most religious leaders are interested in what comes to them in tithe and offering so that even when a politician embezzle money from the community, he offers tithe and offering and the community is left to suffer.
