Pastor Adeboye speaks on 2019 election, 2018 budget Published on May 7, 2018 By Fikayo Olowolagba
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has advised Nigerians to vote for credible leaders come 2019 in order to move the nation forward.
Adeboye urged Christians to get their PVCs and participate in next year’s general elections , adding that it is the only power vested in the hands of Nigerians.
The Cleric made the statement on Sunday while speaking to journalists shortly after a thanksgiving service at the RCCG national headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
Adeboye, who was represented by the Assistant General Overseer, Administration and Personnel, RCCG, Pastor Johnson Odesola, said, “There is hope with God on our side, let’s be hopeful. Nigerians should look out for credible people, God fearing people.
“Everyone should get their Permanent Voter Card; that’s our power. Every Christian should exercise their civic right of voting for the right person of their choice because the Bible says give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and the word of God enjoins us to pray for kings and those who are in authority.
“There is a need to continue to educate the electorates to vote for credible people who will not aid or support wrong policies or evil acts.
Adeboye further called on members of the National Assembly to pass the 2018 appropriation bill, noting that the second quarter of the year was almost over.
“They should serve national interest and not their interest even if they have issue, they should pass it while they are working on the issue.
