As the 2027 general election looms the pulpit managers are probably looked upon as neutral umpire that will do the needful to promote peace and harmony in the country. They should organize themselves when they get to the podium to deliver their sermons because the country is already in the grip of insecurity, ethnicity, herdsmen clashes, kidnapping, IPOB, banditry and other criminal activities.
As men of God they should be more concerned. about unity and sanctity of human lives of the citizens than their pockets and worldly materials. The use of language should be Godly and unifying capable of bringing peace and harmony for the peaceful coexistence of the country.
The pulpit is sacred and must not be demonised for prosperity instead of salvation, the managers should preach according to the source of their religion and shouldn’t allow themselves to be used by some unscrupulous politicians for their selfish needs.
SPONSOR AD
Human race is from one man (Adam), therefore, the reason for either ethnic or religious bias does not necessarily arise. Segregation along any clime is not good for the country in this dispensation, all we need is nothing but unity, peace to return to the land.
Nigerian politicians should maintain decorum as the nation approaches the 2027 general elections, politicians must be aware that election is not about violence and never do or die affairs.They should promote peace amongst Nigerians just as religious leaders must preach tolerance, unity and peace and not to misinform their congregation at any level.
Pulpit managers must inculcate discipline in their followers to show love and care to their neighbours since this will bring the desired peace and tranquility to the country.
In our representative democracy, Christians and Muslims can work together is a sign of unity and understanding of worship. What the nation need now are not unnecessary reforms but nationwide repentance and characters reorientation that will drive moral and values to our national lives.
In a political democracy endorsement of candidate is the exclusive rights of a political party on whose platform the candidate wants to fly the party flag for nomination to contest election.
Religious houses are not political platforms for candidate(s) to capitalised upon to execute his electoral campaigns, by so doing the sacred homes might have been discredited and polarised from being holy. A religious leader can carelessly divide his congregation over public presidential endorsements, by endorsing a candidate the followers might not be happy for the singular fact that all members did not belong to one political party or the same interest with the clerics or overseer.
A real men of God doesn’t need to endorse anyone because he or she is father/mother to all aspirants.
The country has highly drifted from food security to food insecurity as a result of the activities of all forms of criminalities in the country.
Governance has gone beyond tribe, religion, status and of course age. All we should be concerned about is nothing but good governance from elected leaders God may so wish to give to us come 2027. No human being is coming from the moon to lead us our leader will emerge from among us who either might have held one position or the other in the past. Ladies and gentlemen 2027 is beyond all sentiments since the most trusted have swayed. In God we Trust.
