The United Young Christians
Forum, UYCF, operating under the leadership of Pastor Andrew John Enenche has
said that the presidential candudate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Muhammadu Buhari and his vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo deserve re-election.
The group stated this after a
crucial meeting on Saturday.
They endorsed President Buhari
and Osinbajo for second term.
According to the group, Buhari
and Osinbajo were friends of the church who deserved every support to push the
nation forward.
This was contained in a statement
signed by Enenche at the end of the meeting and made available to reporters in
Abuja.
The statement said, “Permit us to
start with a disclaimer. President Muhammadu Buhari had categorically stated
that clergymen should eschew politics or lose credibility and this is a reality
that we are well aware of particularly as it relate to those that turned their
pulpit into soap boxes to support candidates that are known to be corrupt. So
irrespective of President Buhari’s assertion Proverbs 12:17 ‘When you tell the
truth, justice is done, but lies lead to injustice’ is our guide in this
matter. We want justice to be done so we will say it as it is.
“We have watched development in
our body polity for the past four years and we can categorically declare that
the administration has favoured Christendom and advanced the propagation of the
gospel, which, gentlemen, is our ultimate goal.
“In the period preceding the
inauguration of President Buhari, Christianity was being contaminated with the
evil of corruption. Christians in Nigeria were beginning to evolve into what
the Gospels did not intend.
“The truth is that we entered
into competition with the world and even challenged those in the world to a
context in material acquisition; it was not unusual in those days for the
testimony of brethren to be measured by the volume of wealth or material things
they were able to acquire in record time without giving thoughts to how much
sin has been committed to attain such worldly goods.
“Corruption even influenced the
faith to the point where sermons were tailored to suit the expediency of
supporting corrupt people in clear violation of our mandates. We became
unwilling witnesses to men delivering their own verdicts as prophecies.
“May we also point out that one
thing that is becoming extinct under the leadership of President Muhammadu
Buhari is laziness. We are instructed in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 ‘For even when we
were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither
should he eat.’
”People had become addicted to
slush money, which perhaps explains the cry of hardship and anguish as the
anti-corruption war takes hold. We are pleased that more Nigerians today have
found the joy of working for their earnings, which enables them to sleep in
peace.
“Beyond these, we have seen that
the government of President Buhari did not neglect the needy. As opposed to the
past when the poor were food for the rich, this government has through various
social welfare intervention programmes comply with God’s injunction not to
neglect the needy and less privileged.
“Children who would otherwise
have gone hungry are fed under the school feeding programme. Women, some of
them widows, have benefitted under the Trade Moni.
“The conditional cash transfer
scheme is helping beneficiaries reduce the impact of poverty on their life.
“We have also seen the projects
ongoing across the country, which gives hope that Nigeria will be built into a
great nation, like the rebuilding of Jerusalem as recorded in the Book of
Nehemiah.
“As stated in Nehemiah 2:17 we
are inclined to tell Nigerians “You see the bad situation we are in, that
Jerusalem (Nigeria) is desolate and its gates burned by fire (previous bad
leaders).
“‘Come, let us rebuild the wall
of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a reproach.’
“We have confidence that it is
President Buhari that can carry out this rebuilding. We therefore endorse
President Buhari/Vice President Yemi Osinbajo whose performance has confirmed
as friends of the Church and Youths of Nigeria for a second term in office.”
