 Prince Adewole Adebayo, the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has urged the church to be more prayerful and not to be political.

He further urged the church to be careful, adding that the person who will take the mantle of leadership in 2023 will be from the house of God.


“I will say that the church has one tool, which politics doesn’t have – the church has the ministration of God, the revelation that comes from our clergymen, our leaders”.


While speaking on the theme- ‘Christ’s love compels us’, the President of Christian Association of Nigeria, Archbishop Daniel Okoh urged politicians vying for office to look out for the peace and unity of Nigeria, and also pay attention to the vulnerable persons and the needy in the society.


He said, “The church must continue to admonish politicians to demonstrate passion for the wellbeing of all Nigerians. With a great sense of responsibility and accountability, let us continue to be the watch persons to ensure good governance in our nation”.
