Isaac Idahosa, vice-presidential candidate of the New
Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), says he will use his experience as a pastor to
promote unity.
Idahosa spoke on Tuesday during an interview on Channels
Television.
On July 14, Rabiu Kwankwaso, NNPP presidential candidate,
picked Idahosa, who is the general overseer of God First Ministry, as his
running mate for the election.
Speaking about his plans for the country, the cleric said he
has managed people from different ethnic backgrounds, adding that he will bring
that knowledge to bear if his party wins.
“I have been a pastor
for the past 33 years. There is what we called church politicking — that is to
say after your spiritual assignment, you deal with the people across the nooks
and crannies. You have the Igbo, the Edo, the Kanuri in church and you have to
manage them,” the cleric said.
“You have to learn how to manage people and their resources
as a pastor. This will come to bear, especially where Nigeria today is so
divided. There is no trust at all. So, I’m coming with the healing. When I mean
healing — the healing together of a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic,
multi-religious nation.
“You have a nation to be able to run with. We need peace
and, of course, you do know that where there is no peace, progress cannot be
enforced no matter what you try. That is why we are trusting God to help us get
involved in this ticket to be able to foster this co-existence.
“I’m in it to be able to foster co-existence between the
Christian world, the Muslim world, and other religious sects.”
