Cooperate with God, make Nigeria glorious, Oke tells Nigerians

The Presiding Bishop of Christ Life Church, Worldwide, Francis Wale Oke, has appealed to Christians including Nigerians, to cooperate with God and make the nation beautiful and glorious again. He disclosed that God said that the future of Nigeria is beautiful and to achieve this, Nigerians have to vote for politicians who will restore the country to its old glory and not devourers.

In his first service during the new Ministerial Year of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries, last Sunday, in Olaogun Ibadan, the cleric who is also President, Sword of the Spirit Ministries and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), urged Nigerians to vote out oppressors, dominators, dividers, sponsors of Boko Haram, among others, in the 2023 polls.

The cleric enjoined Nigerians, especially the youths not to sell their voter’s cards for any amount during the elections, but to use them wisely, to get out bad leaders and change the country for good for themselves and generations to come.

Lamenting that most of the politicians campaigning for political offices in the coming elections do not have solutions to the nation’s problems, Oke said the future of the country lies with the electorate and not with the politicians.

“Electioneering campaigns by sundry political parties have started and politicians will begin to dish out their empty promises; promises that they do not intend to fulfill. They only want our votes and power. Most of them do not have any clue about how to solve the nation’s problems and I called on Nigerians to deliver themselves because the future of this nation is not in the hands of politicians, but with the electorate.

“Your voter’s cards carry great power, for this reason do not sell them. If you do, then, you have sold your future and mortgaged the future of your children and children’s children,” Oke said.

Urging Nigerians to vote according to their conscience and not on tribal, religious or party lines, Oke expressed dismay over the nation’s security situation and recalled when he used to traverse the various states on road from Maiduguri to Lagos/Ibadan, and from Sokoto to Calabar on evangelism and mission, saying doing so now has become an uphill task for any Nigerian because of the security situation.
