Deeper Christian Life Ministry, General Superintendent, Pastor William Kumuyi, has urged politicians in the 2023 general elections to be civil in their campaigns and accept the election’s outcome for the country to move forward.
Pastor Kumuyi, who spoke with reporters in Asaba ahead of a Deeper Christian Life Ministry programme, urged Nigerians to vote intelligently. He said prayers alone cannot not fix the country’s woes. “We are not to just cast votes; we are choosing our leaders who will lead us.
This democratic act means quite a lot; security is there, finance (economy) is there, and various other issues. This reason is why we, the voters, would decide whom we want to rule us.
“The candidates should say what they want without knocking other people. Whoever wins, since we know that only one person will be the president at a time, the rest should accept and demonstrate a gentlemanly approach and not continue fighting after we have a winner. The person who wins should also understand that it is a responsibility because the nation has put him there to lead us on how to get out of the challenges or difficulties we face,” he said.
Kumuyi expressed displeasure at the state of the nation with the spate of unemployment, insecurity, and hunger, even as he called on those in authority to make visible efforts to improve the fortunes of Nigerians. “We feel uncomfortable but cannot solve the problems by folding our hands, fighting, or criticizing. However, we should join hands together to solve the problem”.
