Front runner presidential candidates
in the 2023 general elections; Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu (All Progressives
Congress); Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
(Peoples Democratic Party; Peter Obi
(Labour Party) and Rabi’u Musa
Kwankwaso (New Nigeria Peoples
Party) are expected to speak at a
debate today (Sunday).



The debate is organised by pro-
democracy group, the Centre for
Democracy and Development, CDD) in
collaboration with Arise Television.


According to the group, the leading
presidential candidates are expected to
speak on their plans for the country.


In a statement issued on Sunday, The
Director of the CDD, Idayat Hassan,
said the first of these sessions would
take place today, November 6 and
would air on Arise TV and on its
YouTube and social media channels.



She said the CDD, ahead of the 2023
elections, identified the need to ensure
citizens hear from the presidential
candidates.


“This follows CDD’s constant campaign
to ensure that the parties and
candidates conduct issue-based
campaigns. Nigerians need to hear
how their future leaders plan to
address the rising level of insecurity,
considerable economic challenges and
the impact of foreign affairs in
domestic considerations.


“This has informed our engagements
around the elections, from providing
fact-checking support and working
with partners to provide analyses on
the election security terrain,” Hassan
stated.


She said the process for selecting the
candidates were not without reasoning
or a set methodology.


Hassan said, “To ensure ample time
devoted to hearing each of the
candidates, we ran a survey on Twitter
from October 4 to 10, asking citizens to
vote on which four parties they
wanted to hear from.




“All 18 political parties were listed in
alphabetical order. After the survey
was closed, nine parties did not receive
a vote.



“The remaining nine received the
following percentage of votes- African
Action Congress – 20.7 per cent, APC –
86.2 per cent, All Progressives Grand
Alliance – 6.9 per cent, LP – 96.6 per
cent, NNPP – 51.7 per cent, PDP– 82.8
per cent , Peoples Redemption Party –
6.9 per cent, Social Democratic Party –
6.9 per cent and Young Progressive
Party – 13.8 per cent.




“The result of this survey informed
our decision to invite the highest four
scoring parties – LP, APC, PDP and
NNPP to the town hall.
“The CDD is an independent and
neutral institution and is non-partisan
or linked to any political party or
candidate. The methodology stated
above was set before the survey was
sent out to avoid any insinuation or
claims of bias.




“We do not expect this to be the sole
platform for candidates to engage with
the electorate.”

Cypress042:
Thanks to Oyo state government for the imidiate warning given to the people living in the community

I don't think you read that article very much,

The government didn't alert the people as soon as it happened, they waited for 7days

So Appalling, God save Oyo Community,

I blame the government for not alerting people when they noticed chemical on the river.

EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY

TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 14:1-6
KEY VERSE: 1 CORINTHIANS 14:4



Many churches that claim to perform
miracles, signs and wonders have little
or no regard for righteousness and
holiness of God, neither are they
interested in diligent obedience of the
commandments of Scriptures.



The frequent speaking in tongues publicly
carried out in such assemblies may not
be inspired by the Holy Spirit. What they
impart to their congregations that
results in sudden outbursts of speaking
in tongues by practically all members
may not be of God.



For true Believers that have been
genuinely baptized with the Holy Ghost it
is not a sin to speak in tongues
because it is a God-given language of
edification. In your personal prayers
speak as much as the Lord gives you
power to speak.



Pray in tongues and sing in tongues. But while in the church,
wisdom is profitable to direct. Apostle
Paul was inspired to instruct that if in
church messages in tongues should be
delivered with the interpretation so that
others will be edified, but where there is
no interpretation, there should be
control.


Generally in a congregation
there are new comers and if they see
these uncontrolled outbursts in tongues
they may not understand what is going
on. They may even say you are mad.
Therefore control yourself and avoid
drawing attention to yourself so you will
not be a disturbance or distraction to
others.



That is why preachers in HOREMOW do
not make a show of speaking in
tongues publicly on the pulpit, but
speaking in tongues go on privately and
individually though it may seem not to
be going on to some people. During
night vigils, some ignorant or
hypocritical pastors mount loud
speakers all round them in the night and
they disturb the neighborhood by their
nuisance.



Will such actions attract
neighbors and Muslims to that place?
Will they not rather mock at you and
abuse the doctrine of Christ? Not
everyone is baptized in the Holy Ghost.
It is improper to shame those that are
not baptized in the Holy Ghost if all are
to rise up and pray aloud in tongues.




This tempts them to speak strange
tongues or copy others to avoid shame.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Do not make
a show of speaking in tongues publicly.
SONG FOR THE DAY: What the Lord has
done for me, I cannot tell it all......
