The General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji, has urged citizens against vote selling and buying in the upcoming 2023 general elections.
Oladeji gave the advice in Abuja during a press briefing ahead of the ‘Abuja National Praise; a programme scheduled for Friday and Saturday at the Moshood Abiola national stadium in Abuja with the theme, ‘Praise The Lord for His mercy endureth forever’.
He said this is to avoid mortgaging their future.
The cleric also called on government to establish an agency that would teach electorate voter education.
“Don’t allow them (politicians) to use your life as sacrifice for the coming election. Don’t sell your tomorrow for the coming election because of money. Don’t allow anything whatsoever to mortgage your future. Don’t allow any candidate to buy you because the future you are looking at is very close to you.
“Those who sold their votes during the 2015 and 2019 elections did not do anything tangible with it. My advice for all Christians, our forefathers prayed and God answered them.
“So, let us pray in our closets. If only we know this God, and He will answer us. Those of us who will vote, don’t because you want to vote your choice, do anything contrary to the will of God.
“A lot of people want to revenge evil during elections by burning houses, and killing people. If you didn’t get it right in politics, go back to what you have been doing. To correct the mistakes, the government should establish an agency that will teach the electorate voter education,” Prophet Oladeji said.
