The head pastor of Alabaster International Ministries, Prophet Kofi Oduro, has lambasted critics of Burkina Faso's leader, Ibrahim Traoré who attended President 's inauguration armed to congratulate him.

According to Kofi Oduro, it is hypocritical to criticize the leader because local security also had guns on them in case of any encounter.

Speaking in a sermon to his congregation, he criticized those against the Burkina Faso leader, asserting that even though he came to power illegally, he is transforming the country more effectively than some democratically elected leaders. "Look at what Burkina Faso has achieved.

We sit here and talk nonsense about that man, calling him a coup maker because he took a gun and came to power.
