Convener, Bible Speak Conference, Dr Bolaji O. Akinyemi, and Director of the Directorate of Politics and Governance, (DPG), the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Theophilus Ajose have called on all churches and ministries in Nigeria to unite and work together at the community level and mobilised christians, who are eligible voters but who have not registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission to register and collect their permanent voters cards.
They urged Christians to be actively involved in politics so as to make the desired change, deliver dividends of democracy, and ensure good governance in the country.
It has been noticed that the ripples of charge are coming to play at the forthcoming DPG event for Christian youths in Lagos. In addition, the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the Four Square Gospel Church in Nigeria have signed up for DPG and the Department is now being created across all the branches of the churches in Nigeria.
Dr Bolaji O. Akinyemi who was pleasantly surprised by the results of DPG in such a short time promised to get all the political movements and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) he is associated with to be involved in the political education of DPG.
He said Lagos State must raise the tempo of and lead in the movement for the much desired new Nigeria.
He pleaded with all General Overseers and their churches to emulate the example of the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch A.Adeboye, and Rev.Sam Aboyeji as well as the Four Square.
Akinyemi said, “We all must be burdened with the need to create a new consciousness and build the right civic engagement and institutional accountability for Lagos through Lagosians.
He appealed to the General Overseers t to release their youths to be a part of the movement, which he said, is determined to birth a national change from Lagos.
He said, “Lagos, with over 20 million taxpayers according to verifiable record, he said has the potential to produce the votes that elected Nigeria’s president in 2019. This realization must drive DPG in all churches and nothing must be spared to get members to obtain their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC).
“A new Nigeria is at the mercy of your prayers and support for Christian youth to participate in politics.
“All pastors of churches in Lagos State should please send at least 7 youths, 4 males, 3 females to the program, all you need is to hire a “korope”, mini bus to bring them to and back. They must be upto 18 years of age-eligible to vote. Please, allow them to take advantage of PFN/DPG summit.
“Under your watch as Pastors are the Josephs, Davids, and Daniels, your young men and women in whom the Spirit of God dwells. Please turn them over to God for the ultimate task of re-building Nigeria, with an army of informed Christian youths. It is a win-win situation. It is all about getting Lagos to WIN Nigeria.
“It’s a privilege that this conference is to hold in my local government, Ifako Ijaye, the same local government where Sharia court ideology for Lagos is set to be implemented.
“You can’t afford to fail the kingdom, we look forward to a successful program with you at:
