Vote who can deliver - Cleric tells Christians

The Planter of the Christ Apostolic Church, Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain, Adamimogo Worldwide, Prophet Sam Alo, has warned Christians not to vote out of revenge or hatred.

He urged Christians to vote who could deliver.

Alo said this at the dedication of Adamimogo Jesus City located along the Ibeju-Lekki Epe Expressway, according to a statement on Thursday.

The cleric noted that Christians had the moral responsibility to vote based on their conscience and not on hatred or revenge on any candidate at all levels of governance, warning that voting based on hatred, revenge, or religious sentiments will lead to an unpleasant situation for the country in the next four years.

He said, “God told me if the church voted out of revenge, Nigeria may be in another war in the next four years. The regret will be much more than what we are going through at the moment.

“Let us pray and don’t vote because of hatred. Vote as God has directed you. Don’t seek revenge against anyone. If it’s Igbo, Yoruba, or Hausa, and you are sure that the person can deliver the dividends of democracy for Nigerians, go ahead and vote for such a one.

“It is not now that the church will be talking about Muslim-Muslim tickets. Things have gone wrong from the onset. I don’t support voting along the religious line. Let us vote for our conscience. If we toe the path of Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Muslim, we may miss it. Let us vote for our conscience and if it is the will of God, the person will emerge victorious.”

The ex-Senior Special Assistant to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on job creation, Afolabi Imoukhuede, urged Nigerians to have hope in the electoral process.

He added that Nigerians should collect their voter cards and come out in mass and vote for the candidates of their choice.
