2019 Elections: Giving, Collecting Bribe To Vote Is Sin – Catholic Bishop by 20Ebisco: 7:09pm On Dec 20, 2018
The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Reverend Dr Paulinus Ezeokafor has said that those who engage in vote buying in the 2019 general elections are committing sin, and need to atone for their sins through confession.

The Catholic Bishop stated this during an interaction with journalists on Thursday evening to convey his Christmas message, saying that next year would be a critical decision-making year for the country and must be taken very seriously.

He said, “Vote buying is a sin, and those who do that must go for confession. It is a sin, sin in quote, I say in quote because you may say it is not among the 10 commandments by God. So I put it in a context so I can take responsibility for what I said.

“Even the one who received money to vote is also a sinner, and must go for confession, because if you did not demand, the politician will not give.”

The bishop also cautioned Nigerians to celebrate the birth of Christ (Christmas) in modesty, saying that the problems associated with the yuletide have always been because people tend to achieve what they could not in 11 month, in the month of December.

“The period of Christmas is a time for modesty and celebration of the life of Christ which he lived for us. Live moderately and remember that there will be next year, and that struggle and the challenges of life will continue,” he said.

But Pastors, Bishops and Reverend fathers that welcome polithiefcians as VIPs to their churches during election period as a silent medium to stylishly buy the votes of the entire congregation are not committing sin.. It's well

Oan,
TRUE CONFESSION FROM :
People have been asking how much we were paid to campaign for Buhari.
We always deny the allegation.
The new year is around the corner and we want to come clean.
Yes we were paid to campaign for Buhari 
Buhari himself paid us.
He paid us when he started completing abandoned projects, he paid us when he paid pensioners, he paid us when after 35 years of paper work he finally brought a train to Warri.
Yes he paid us to campaign for him
He paid us when he allowed even those that curse him to access N power and Tradermoni. He paid us when he prevented fuel marketers from going on strike that would have lead to untold hardship during the holiday period
He paid us, and handsomely too. 
For more of these payments we are voting for PMB come 2019.
GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI

But if I collect bribe from all candidates, and still vote for my choice, is that still a sin? grin

My people don dey wise: collect all you can from politheifcians, then vote as you like. After all, the money they are sharing, did they earn it, or is it our collective money?

You can only preach this type of sermon when there is no hunger in the land anymore!
In a country where many people don't make up to 2k in a day?
Even you will collect it with alacrity!!

...For those who care to Listen.

Life is about transactions and during transaction Money and Values are exchanged.

Listen careful, If You collect Money for voting then, You don't have the right to complain and criticise the Government because you were PAID for 4Years of bad Governance...

Finally, if you collect Money during elections; then you are part of NIGERIA'S Problem and It is Our prayer that the Good Lord will destroy all over Problem as a Nation.

Will they hear? Nigerian leaders and the masses are the same.
Nigerians are naturally greedy. We are not the only country in the world with bad govt and high rate of unemployment. But we are well known globally for fraud and criminally minded deals.
