Bishop Leonard Nwoma Umunna, General Overseer and the Presiding Bishop of Bible Life Church Cathedral (BLCC), Lagos has advised that Christians who are not matured enough not to be swayed from the right path should not go into politics.
“The way of politics in Nigeria now; in fact, Africa in general, is not what a spiritually matured Christian can just dabble into,” said Umunna.
According to him, “it is not the best of times for good Christians to go into the murky waters of the Nigerian politics.
The cleric added; “by the way, I have repeatedly said that if you are a pastor you shouldn’t try it at all because a God-called pastor is greater than any president in the world.
“What we see here is that those who have been proven to do well are not being given the opportunity to occupy higher positions, but those who have no track record of (good) performance are the ones being selected to occupy leadership positions.
Umunna said this has been the problem in the country.
He therefore advised Christians to “align themselves with the civil society organizations to sanitise the society, make people accountable, and ensure that we run politics the right way.”
