Former president Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday in Abeokuta, Ogun State enjoined Christians to participate actively in politics.
The former president warned Christians against being indifferent towards politics, saying this could result in the country falling into the hands of evil men who he said could not offer Nigeria any good.
Obasanjo said this during the fifth anniversary thanksgiving service of the Chapel of Christ the Glorious King, a religious arm of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.
While thanking God for the existence of the chapel of which he is the Chief Promoter, he said Christians should stop shying away from partisan politics for the good of the entire country.
Obasanjo said, ” I want to say here that Christians should participate in politics. We should not leave politics in the hands of the evil ones who cannot offer this country any good.”
Earlier in his sermon delivered on the occasion, the former president of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Reverend Ola Akande described the former president as a rare and special gift to Nigeria.
Akande noted that the likes of Obasanjo usually came once in a generation. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteObasanjo knows the evil men in this country. some of them in are in PDP and APC. But to him, the spirit just led him to say it. He realized that alot of them has gather in one party. They have been trying to hijack power before from him but it was not work out. His fear now is the EVILS men has team up again to get power under the umbrella of CHANGE. that is why he is try to advise Christian to participate in polities if not the EVIL MEN has formed caucus to hijack this country.
