Politicians contesting in the 2010 general elections have been advised to do so in good faith.
Pastor Jeremiah Bello of the Covenant City Prayer Ministries, Okeshina Street, Meiran in Agbado-Oke Odo Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, who gave the advice in a sermon, said that the country would experience a divine turn around if credible leaders were elected to run its affairs, while urging Nigerians to pray for God to avert bloodshed in the coming elections.
Pastor Bello, whose church is holding a three-day vigil that will end tomorrow at the church’s auditorium, said he foresees Nigeria turning to a better country.
“I want to enjoin every devoted man of God in Nigeria to pray for a violence-free election next year. Both Christians and Muslims should pray for peaceful polls in 2010. We must submit ourselves to God, especially the politicians, who must not see the coming elections as a do-or-die affair,†he said.
