The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Dr. Samson Ayokunle, has said that the desperation of politicians ahead of the 2019 elections was generating anxiety among Nigerians.
Ayokunle said this yesterday in Abuja during the nationwide “special prayers for the 2019 polls and release of captives” organised by CAN.
Urging the citizens not to be worried and assuring them that the polls would be credible and violence-free, the CAN leader also warned electoral officers against manipulating the 2019 election results to favour any particular candidate.
He urged the people to be the focus and expect the positive outcome of the polls, warning the youths against being used to cause violence during the elections.
Ayokunle frowned on the discreditable conduct of some politicians which he said was demonstrated in their flagrant disobedience to party rules and regulations during the party primaries.
On his part, the Chairman, Pentecostal Forum, Northern Nigeria, Bishop Praise Daniel, reminded politicians that promotion was divinely ordained, noting that desperation did not guarantee victory.
“Nigerians must go out and vote and we must vote for worthy leaders; Leaders that love the nation, not their pockets. We must vote leaders that will build infrastructure, roads, hospitals, modern facilities that you could see all over the world, leaders that can change the narratives in our nation,” Daniel said.
