Anglican Sub-Dean of St. Luke’s Cathedral, Very Rev. Prof. Pic Onwochei has urged Nigerians, especially members that were enrolled for PVC to ensure that they gathered the same so that they could vote in the forthcoming 2023 election in February.
Christians should be properly trained to use politics as a platform to advocate for social justice, rather than demonizing politics, and to ensure full participation in the process.
Onwochei, speaking in Jos on Friday, urged eligible members not to sit at home but vote on Election Day because they are involved in the process of electing credible leaders to government.
