Posted by When casting their ballots in this year’s elections, inhabitants of Nigeria must set aside their ethnic and religious feelings if they want the country to advance, according to Kaduna State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. John Joseph Hayab.
“I want to see Nigeria become great in all sectors of life this year,” he said. Excellent in terms of education, economy, social cohesion, and peace. When choosing our leaders, we must set aside our ethnic and religious sentiments in order to accomplish all of this.
“Merit should come first in elections and appointments,” he continued. I sincerely hope that we will put excellent and godly leaders in charge of our country to start.
“I ask God to provide us a year of unbroken schooling. No union strikes, although the economy of the nation is quite productive.
“Everyone should make an effort to cast a ballot. You should be held accountable for aiding election tampering by not casting your ballot. Politicians won’t spend sleepless nights traveling to every corner of the country in search of votes if your vote doesn’t matter.
“Let’s not vote based on race, religion, geography, or any other pointless consideration when we go to the polls. Another four years of torture, growing poverty, stagnation, lawlessness, and all types of anti-democratic inclinations in the nation are the results of making the incorrect decision.
The onus is on Nigerian listeners to prevent a rupture between longtime friendly neighbors caused by politicians’ bad communication. Unfortunately, Nigerian politicians have a reputation for making poor speeches both while running for office and when in office. They speak in a disrespectful manner about the populace, and occasionally stupid citizens turn on one another to defend their political Godfather. I beg Nigerians to put aside their differences and work together to hold politicians responsible for their words and deeds.
The year 2023, like any other year, had arrived for every right-thinking individual in the nation to take use of it to renew his commitments and areas of weakness, Rev. Hayab said in a statement to kuryaloaded.
The State CAN Chairman expressed regret that “some of my colleagues, pastors, give forth forecasts to the public” regarding clergy members making public predictions. I disagree with anyone who uses the name of God to make predictions that might not come true and are typically based on speculation. God is not a machine and won’t be exploited for easy popularity.
“I see it as a manipulation of people’s emotions and playing mind games with them because of their poverty,” the speaker said. “When you declare to a large gathering that someone will buy a car, build a house, or be promoted to become a General Manager this year and everyone shouts Amen, including the lazy and jobless among them.”
When there is peace throughout the nation, especially in rural areas, and the government provides farmers with everything they need to be productive, Hayab said he hopes to see farmers reap a great harvest.
