The General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called on Nigerians
to ensure that they get their voters’ card to enable them exercise their civic
responsibilities during next year’s general elections.
The voters’ card, he said, is the
only power the people have to vote in credible candidates.
Adeboye spoke during the annual Holy
Ghost Congress of RCCG. The congress was with the theme: ‘The Great Shepherd’.
The Nation reports holding up his voter card and that
of his wife, Folu, the respected man of God reminded the congregation that
everyone is expected to collect and bring their cards to the church on the first
Sunday of December for prayers. He announced that the January 2 Holy Ghost
Congress will be entitled ‘The Burden Bearer.’
He noted: “It is very crucial you
all get it even if it means spending the whole day at the local government
because without the card, you cannot vote. On the first Sunday of next year,
come to church with your voter card before we will pronounce the New Year
blessings on you.”
He also called for donation of
relief materials of food and clothings for thousands who have been displaced from
their homes due to insurgency in the North East region.
Adebayo urged, “Let us all
contribute to make life comfortable for those people. All proceeds will be
passed to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and from there will be
passed to those in need.”
31 babies have been delivered so far
in the camp ground comprising of 19 boys and 12 girls.
In attendance at the event include Togo’s
Minister of Justice, Esan Kofi; Nigeria’s Minister for Sports, Tamuno Danagogo;
Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire and her Kogi
State counterpart, Mr. Yomi Awoniyi; First Lady of Benue State, Mrs. Yemisi
Suswam and her Lagos State counterpart, Dame Abimbola Fashola.
