PASTOR William Kumuyi-led Deeper Life
Bible Church has advised Nigerians not to vote for politicians in 2015
based on religious sentiments, saying religious considerations in
politics have failed the nation.
It also warned the Independent National Electoral Commission against rigging and subversion of the people’s will.
The Ekiti State Overseer of the Church,
Pastor Jacob Asubiojo, gave the advice in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday during a
press conference on the three-day crusade in the state by Kumuyi, who is
the church’s General Superintendent.
Asubiojo said the programme, tagged,
“Extraordinary encounter with God of miracles,” was primarily organised
for Nigerians to seek God’s face to overcome the challenges facing the
country.
Reeling out the virtues of a leader the
voters must watch out for, he said Nigerians must look out for a
God-fearing leader with genuine interest of the people at heart.
He said, “Nigeria has so many religions but these have not met the needs of the people.
“But with this programme, many Nigerians
would have their lives changed and transformed for better, because for a
society to produce good leaders that can transform a whole nation, such
person must first be transformed.
“What we believe in is prayer as weapons
that can transform the lives of the people and not religion that had
failed us as a nation. Our people must not continue in wretchedness and
backwardness. Enough of satanic victimisation and oppression.”
The
church predicted that peace would soon reign in the country, urging the
citizens to embrace prayers as the most veritable weapon of warfare.
The cleric advised INEC to be fair and
ensure openness and transparency during the 2015 polls. He asked the
politicians to also obey the rules of the game.
“They must not heat up the polity over election if truly they are desirous of serving the people,” he said.
