The trending topical issue in the University of Ibadan currently is not just the just concluded election of the Student Union but the alleged involvement of the joint christian body in the political process.

Bulk sms was reportedly sent by the President of the joint fellowship, Assembly of Unibadan Christian Fellowship (AUCSF) to the electorates, canvassing their votes for a presidential candidate who eventually emerged.

In mainstream politics, CAN has been scathingly condemned for being partisan. Tunde Bakare, Chris Okotie have at one time or the other been derided for plunging into the murky of politics.

Clearly, this is a moral issue- and not a legal one. The freedom of expression and association are fully guaranteed by the constitution. And since these bodies also double as organisations with peculiar interests, should anyone upbraid them for doing the needful?

Religious bodies/leaders involvement in politics, how much is too much?
