As Nigerians prepare for the 2015 general elections, the General Supritendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has called on electorates to vote for credible candidates.
Kumuyi made this clarion call in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, during the ministry’s two-day crusade. The crusade took place on Friday and Saturday in the oil rich state.
The former university don however appealed to Nigerians not to rely on sentiment in their votes but to vote for people who could deliver on the dividends of democracy and good governance.
Kumuyi said, “Concerning the coming elections, we (Nigerians) can say that only credible candidates show up for the election. The political power is in the hands of the people. It is for the people to vote for credible people who can rule the country well and not those with selfish motives.
“I urge Nigerians to vote for the right people. I believe that when we are able to vote for the right and proper people, we will together lift up the country.”
On insecurity, the cleric said Nigeria would enjoy peace again, despite the ongoing events in the nation.
He urged Nigerians to look unto God and not to beworried, saying that he was optimistic that God would soon solve the nation’s numerous challenges.
He said, “Obviously, Nigeria as a country has challenges. Some might call them problems, but I prefer to call them challenges. And we as a nation should not give up in looking unto God. I believe that God will help to solve those challenges even in our own time.
“What I can say is that God is on the throne. I believe that before long, we would have more security, peace and prosperity in the country more than we have seen before.”
“What I will say to the people of Bayelsa is that they should let peace reign. Live and let others live. We need to understand that without other people, our lives cannot be complete.”

However the problem is tribal sentiments will supersede everything else. The phrase - your brothers/sisters keeper - has a diffetent meaning in Nigeria politics!
EVEN IF A GOAT WERE IN A POLITICAL PARTY VYING FOR A POST - IT WOULD WIN - AS LONG AS IT WAS FROM THE GRASSROOTS OF THAT PARTICULAR PLACE!!!!
