Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, has been informed by Pastor Adewale Giwa that Christians alone cannot elect him to office.
Goldennewsng reports that this was stated by the Senior Pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry in Akure, Ondo, while addressing his congregation on the State of the Nation on Sunday.
DailyPost says that he also warned politicians against doing things that could further exacerbate religious tensions.
According to the clergyman, the former governor of Anambra state has the potential to become president, but that won’t happen next year.
For his future ambition, Giwa advised him to concentrate on developing relationships with people of different religions and ethnicities.
He stated, ” Do what is right in God’s eyes rather than playing to the crowd. Why do you believe that only the church can provide you, Obi, with the anticipated votes? No sir.
Don’t try to exacerbate racial and religious tensions; The ongoing one still needs to be resolved. Before politicians began to divide Muslims and Christians, they had been able to communicate well with one another.
Because you come from a minority ethnic group, you must love everyone and support everyone. You have the potential to become Nigeria’s president in the future, but not right now.
“Begin making progress toward it and construct your resume; Building your party from the units to the wards, local governments, and states to the federal government also requires a lot of work. Please do so if it takes you ten years.
