Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says churches should be
wary of politicians who only patronise them during election.
Wike spoke on Tuesday at the inauguration of Archdeacon
Crowther Memorial Girls School (ACMGS) road and adjoining roads in Elelenwo
Town of Obio/Akpor LGA.
He said some politicians only identified with their faith
when there were gains to be made and asked the church to remember those who had
shown commitment from the start.
“The church should always identify with those who from the
beginning had always worked with them. Not with those, when election comes,
they come and talk to you that they are Christians,” Wike said.
“Christianity is not
only during election. Christianity should be done from the outset; you have to
show that you’re a Christian.
“The church should understand those who believe in them, who
trust them, who will work with them, not only when it comes to politics that
people will now run to the church, no. That is why I’ve told the church to be
careful of politicians who will want to use the church.”
Wike thanked the church for its ceaseless prayers during his
administration and for supporting the emergence of the incoming state
government.
He said the new administration would continue from his
previous successes.
