“Today, many of the nation’s woes are usually attributed to collapse of family and the churches values which are primarily in the custody of parents and Churches because they are responsible for love, care and mutual respect.” Christianity does’nt encouraged indolence, trance, corruption and dishonest , lets strive as much as possible to keep within the doctrines of Christianity,”Gbegbaje said.

Tell Christian leaders, not to allow themselves to be unduly influence, 2023 is an opportunity for us all to make a distinct change to vote in the right persons into power,” just as he charged Christians to always seek for divine intervention in the affairs of the country.

“It is important that at regular intervals, we, as a nation, should remember our purpose in life, which is to worship our creator and open our communication with God Almighty, because this is a deciding moment for all Nigerians, “if we vote in the wrong candidates, we are all doom, it is the more reason we need to sensitized our people to elect leaders that can take us to the promise land and we must not shy away from politicking , the country has been miss lead, not only the leaders but also we as followers .

“We need to do much better in terms of the welfare of our family, especially as government is increasingly providing outlets, enabling environment and platforms that can be tapped into.
