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.
