    Resist Politicians Using Religion to Divide Nigeria

    Nigeria should resist politicians who are using religion and ethnicity to divide, threaten peace and unity ahead of the 2019 election.

    The Senior Pastor, Father’s Touch Ministry Church, Nyanya, Abuja, Pastor Evans Idoko, also said it was regrettable that the unity of Nigerian is only strengthened during sporting activities.

    “It is an indication that politicians have taken pleasure in using religion to divide Nigerians against themselves for political or selfish reasons.

    It must stop forthwith! Nigerians must resist it because it will take us nowhere,” he said.

    Idoko told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Sunday in Abuja that “as 2019 political activities gather momentum, we appeal to politicians seeking elective offices to eschew hatred and bitterness, and promote courses that will promote peace and unity among Nigerians’’.

    He recalled with nostalgia how Muslims and Christians lived together peacefully some years back irrespective of religious or ethnic differences.

    He said such divisions have been responsible for the obvious hatred among Nigerians, which, he said, has slowed down socio-economic and political development in the country.

    Idoko advised that the church should take the front row in moblising Nigerians to participate in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.

    “It doesn’t come by words alone. We have to take a step further to empower people educationally, financially and otherwise so they could have voice and knowledge to take their rightful place in Nigerian political and economic discussions,” he said.

    He explained that the church could partner with the Social Exchange Market, to disburse financial grant to citizens not minding their religion or ethnicity.
    “We are all one body in Christ Jesus,” he said.

    The cleric said that such empowerment initiative should be borne out of utmost desire of the church to rekindle the hope of Nigerians.

    He, however, encouraged churches, corporate organisations and individuals with financial ability, to assist to lift the poor off poverty so they could confidently participate in political and economic activities.
