President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Wale Oke, has admonished that competence and not religion or ethnicity should be the main consideration of Nigerians in electing President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor next year.
While advising Nigerians against selling their future to money-bag politicians, Oke also said every voter should identify one of the 18 candidates in the presidential race that can take Nigeria to the promised land.
He warned that “desperate, oppressive, domineering and divisive politicians”
are gearing up to “kill and destroy” to gain power against the wishes of Nigerians.
The cleric spoke at the “First Service of the New Ministerial Year” Sword of the Spirit Ministries in Ibadan, Oyo State.
At the program, the PFN President said:” If a Muslim can solve Nigeria’s problem, I will vote for him so far he will treat Muslims and Christians as equal stakeholders in Nigeria, and he will not favor one religion above another.
“For me, if a Hausa man emerges, okay, if it is a Fulani man, good, If it is Igbo, Kanuri, Edo, Ibibio, or Yoruba man, okay, provided he stands for justice, equity, fairness, and one Nigeria. He must also be a man that can deal with the problem of Nigeria decisively.
“Vote for whoever can turn around Nigeria, use your votes to change the fortune of the nation to give Nigerians the nation we want
“Let’s decide and go beyond religion, sentiment, ethnicity, and party so that Nigeria can get to its destination.
“Nigeria shall be beautiful and great, let us all cooperate with God so that we can get to the promised land..”
