The Church should leave politics - Ekere

Image
Politicians have joined to destroy the church - Rev Isangedighi Obong Nsima Ekere, the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, and Rev Effiong Isangedighi, a former National Treasurer of the Assemblies of God, on Friday decried the meddling of Christian leaders in the politics of the state. They spoke at the funeral ceremony of Apostle Patrick Jerome, the Prelate of the Christ Believers (Evangelical) Mission, at Unity Park, Uyo. In his tribute to the late man of God, Obong Ekere urged Christian leaders to concentrate on the propagation of the gospel and refrain from partisan politics. "My appeal to all of us, especially the church, is that we should emulate this man of God and go back to the old ways of God. Most importantly, the church should please leave politics out of church.

I took it all in my strides, believing that it is the nature of politics in this part of the world. To prove the genuineness of my ambition I appealed to men and women of goodwill. I spoke on the need for everyone, not only members of my political party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to give me a chance. And there is no doubt that we had a good team and one of the best campaigns, sprea...

Tinubu the best to Head APC Reconciliation

Image
The Audu/Faleke Political Organisation in Kogi State has thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, as head of the party’s National Reconciliation Committee. The group described the move as a step in the right direction and a life-saving measure. A statement by its spokesman, Alex Kadiri, said: “We believe that this development is not only a step in the right direction, but a life saving measure, especially at this time that our party is enmeshed in crisis. “As responsible and foundation members of the party, we are not averse to efforts geared towards its well-being. This accounts for why we made ourselves available before two previous similar committees, though the National Working Committee (NWC) failed to implement its findings. “Our enthusiasm for this party is dampened by the assumption by most Nigerians that the issue in Kogi APC is merely between Governor Yahaya Bello and Senator Dino Melaye. But we do ...
