Election: 100 Clerics Declare Support For Tinubu In Rivers by Goodmorning20: 9:07am On Feb 21, 2023
Over 100 clerics and prophets in Rivers State have declared support for the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima.

The religious leaders under the aegis of Rivers Pastors Unite for Tinubu said this after a meeting in Port Harcourt on Monday.

They said the APC presidential candidate for the 2023 election was the only person with the capacity to solve the myriad of challenges plaguing the
country.

The Coordinator of RPUT, Pastor Sunday Edimeh, who read their resolution said none of the candidates had supported the Christian community as much as Tinubu.

Edimeh, who is also the Founder, One Life Bible Church based in Port Harcourt, however, clarified that their position applied only to the presidential election and had nothing to do with the governorship and other elections in Rivers State.

Other clerics, who attended the meeting were Pastor Julius Dan of the Apostolic Church Nigeria; Apostle Stephen Ngajaekwu, Christ King of Glory; Pastor John Monday, QWA Iboe Church among others.

Quoting from the scriptures, Edimeh urged the Christians to stand for the truth and reciprocate Tinubu’s good deeds to the Christian community by mobilising votes for him across the country.

He stated, “None of the leading Presidential candidates has supported the Christian community as much as Bola Tinubu.

“He has sown only good seeds on the soil of the Christian community and such should never be dismissed.

“We call on fellow clergymen and women to stand with the truth at this time. We are aware that a Presidential candidate is playing up the Christian agenda but the pertinent question is before now, how has he uplifted the Christian community?

“The choice of a running mate does not in any way, pose a threat to the Christian community.”

Continuing, Edimeh said, “Hence let us dissociate from the cold-hearted proclivities of political transition, which seek to orchestrate needless divisions based on religious grounds.

“Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has not presented any conduct to suggest his non-tolerance for the religious sentiments of all Nigerians.”

He further Tinubu had routinely demonstrated competence, grit and tenacity, which had earned him a reputation as a leader of leaders, whose influence and competence had been tested and trusted through the times.
He said, “Bola Tinubu is indeed a kingmaker, who has nurtured numerous political proteges regardless of their religious and ethnic inclinations, as a matter of fact.”

We don hear...I was expecting 500 clerics.

Una think say Nigerians na mumu.

As it stands now in Rivers, even Wike with all his gragra won't be able to sway votes for Tinubu

Too late grin

How about the fake Bishops he bought to pose for him and claim endorsement? You cannot ridicule the body of Christ after choosing an MM ticket.

Criminals will remain Criminals.
