As the 2023 elections draw near, some ministers of God have urged their members to vote a competent candidate that has the fear of God, and has good leadership mindset; good in character and and above all a candidate that will remove the untold hardship the government had plugged the country into.

They also urged their members to collect their PVCs before the presidential polls billed to hold February 25, 2023, and equally urged members to constantly pray for Nigeria especially at this elections era.

The men God made the statements in an event organized by United Prayer Force organised by Edo Ministers Elder’s Caucus, with the theme: ‘The Prevailing Church.’

Dr. Lemmy Oare Russel, one of the discussants at the event and president, His Kingdom Community House Ministries, urged the Church to strategize or develop a Wealth Transfer Capacity on how to generate fund to run the vision of the church.

He said if the church must take it right step in political arena, it must develop the wealth transfer capacity strategy.

Also commenting, the founder of Life Renewal Ministries, Apostle Godwin Ojo, appealed to the congregation to collect their PVCs to enable them vote for the right candidates that would rescue the country from the pain and agony APC government had brought

He also urged them to be steadfast in praying for the Church and the nation in general.

‘” let me tell you, as far as election is concern, if you don’t have PVCs, you have no voice in this election discussion . No matter how you speak and mobilize, you have no voice. It is only those who have PVCs that have a voice. Politics is a game of numbers.” He added.

Apostle Ojo posited that any Christian that does not have PVC is a voiceless Christian who does not have a voice in public especially when it comes to election matter.

On his part, the Head of National Publicity, Contact and Mobilization of Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council (LP-CCC), Evangelist Tony Akeni, appealed to the participants to vote for Peter Obi and candidates that have sound knowledge of God and have a listening ear with good character.

Comrade Akeni also butttressed that Peter Obi possessed all the attribute to become a president.

He lamented how President Buhari had deceived Nigerians contrary to what Buhari promised Nigerians in 2015 when he got into office.

“At every levels, from the local government council to councillor, to state governors, House of Assembly members and to the President, Let us begin to disobey what is evil in a constructive and constitutionally agree and stipulated manner.

“Such as this particular hour that requires all of us to get our PVCe to March forward to change the narrative of the leadership of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You will get you PVC no matter the games the ruling APC government is playing.

“We are aware plans are on ground to deny Nigerians to get their PVCs, especially the region where Peter Obi is pupolar. But we are in court to fight against it. We are going to mobilize more civil society to join us in the race. Be vigilant and be ready to vote,” Akeni butttressed.

Deputy governor of Edo State Hon Dennis Idahosa, has urged the people to show their readiness to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027 general elections by using the House of Representatives bye-election scheduled for August 16 as a template.

Idahosa hinged his call on the fact that Governor Monday Okpebholo had shown his readiness for governance within a year in office and deserved to be supported by the people.

The deputy governor stated this when the APC campaign team birthed at Uhiere, Okokhuo, and Isiuwa, Ovia North-East Local Government Area of the state.

According to him, the Ovia Federal Constituency bye-election is for the people to show “capacity” and nothing more.

“The Executive Governor of our dear state, and my Principal, Monday Okpebholo, by the grace of God, through your support, has promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu 2.5 million votes.

“The efficacy of that promise starts on August 16 with the Ovia Federal Constituency bye-election.

“This is not a normal election, it is an election to show capacity. The results you give to Omosede unlocks the key to accessing the dividends of democracy.

“The margin of winning is important. This is why we are all here to convince you to ensure that we get at least 70 percent votes from the registered voters in this area,” he stated.

The deputy governor who led the APC team for the campaign said the party’s candidate, Hon Omosede Igbinedion, had the capacity to entrench the dividends of democracy to the area.

At Isiuwa, NIFOR Community, Idahosa praised the people for making the area an APC stronghold.

He said he was not there for the campaign but to introduce their daughter to them and asked them for their support to the party’s candidate for the bye-election.

Similarly, Idahosa also appealed to the people of Okokhuo community for support.

Omosede who was full of praises in visited wards, said “this is the first time, in a long while, since 2015, I am here with a broom, a symbol of development and advancement.

“You know, the umbrella is tattered and scattered, and you know the PDP has fallen. I am grateful to you all who took the time to be here.”

She told the people to hold her accountable for every campaign promise she made.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is reportedly considering offering former President Goodluck Jonathan an automatic ticket to contest the 2027 presidential election, if he returns to the party and plays a more active political role.

This was revealed by Daniel Woyengikuro, the PDP’s National Financial Secretary, during an exclusive interview in Abuja. Woyengikuro emphasized Jonathan’s continued influence within the party and the nation’s politics, describing him as the PDP’s national leader.

“Is he not the best candidate for us at this moment? He is not just a former president; he is the leader of the party now. Aside from [former President Olusegun] Obasanjo, the next person in line is him. Goodluck Jonathan is the national leader of this party,” Woyengikuro said.

He confirmed that the PDP has been consulting with Jonathan and his associates, aiming to bring him back into the party’s mainstream leadership as part of a larger strategy to reposition the party and address Nigeria’s growing political and economic challenges.

“Nigeria has reached a point where we need to salvage this country — for our generation and for those to come,” Woyengikuro added. “When we talk about the Southern Presidency, someone like Goodluck Jonathan stands out.”

When asked directly if the party would consider granting Jonathan an automatic ticket, Woyengikuro responded emphatically:

“For me, that’s what I firmly stand for. You can quote me anywhere — I want him to come. An automatic ticket for him, as it stands now. Because we must salvage both this party and the nation.”

He further asserted that Jonathan’s return would significantly reshape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.

Woyengikuro also praised Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, calling him a “vibrant leader” and a strong candidate from the South capable of bridging Nigeria’s generational divide.

“These are the two main individuals I stand for: Goodluck Jonathan and Seyi Makinde,” he concluded.

The PDP is expected to intensify its internal consultations in the coming months as it prepares for the 2027 general elections.
