Deeper Life Bible Church has advised Nigerians not to vote politicians in 2015 based on religious sentiments because it has 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 visit of the Church’s General Superintendent, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, to the State for a three-day crusade.
Asubiojo said the programme, tagged, “Extraordinary encounter with God of miracles,” which would hold between December 24 to 26, was primarily organised for Nigerians to seek God’s face to overcome the challenges facing the country.
Reeling out the virtues of a leader 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 victimization and oppression.
“We need to liberate the entire nation from devil that is holding the people by the jugular. Permit me to say that it is a great disservice to humanity and God will query us if we refuse to publicize this God-sent crusade of liberation,” Asubiojo stressed.
In spite of insecurity in the nation, the church predicted that peace would soon reign in the country, urging the citizens to embrace prayers as most veritable weapons.
The cleric advised INEC to be fair and keep to the rules that governs election by ensuring fairness, openness and transparency, adding that politicians too must obey the rules.
“They must not heat up the polity over election if truly they are desirous of serving the people,” he added. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
