Clergy man tasks electorate on candidates with good antecedent

EMELAM UDO, UMUAHIA.

Nigerians have been reminded that the positive change in governance will not come to reality until the electorate collectively vote for personalities with integrity and honour to govern them.

The Assistant Secretary, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN South-Eastern states, Nigeria  Secretary, PFN Abia State Chapter and the General Overseer of Christ Generation Ministry Incorporated, Rev. Blessed Amalambu gave the advice, while interacting with some Journalists in Umuahia, Abia State.

He said the year 2022 would serve as a very critical period, which in effect affords the electorate the needed time and change to carefully scrutinize aspirants gunning for various political offices for the year 2023 general elections in order to get the rightful candidates.

His words, “Good leadership is not a matter of poverty and riches. Most of the rich ones have amassed our wealth, embezzled the money meant for infrastructural development, cornered it to their private pockets and after, use peanuts to give us and we hailed them in return. Whereas there are poor people who are disciplined, whose words are their bonds, who want to make a name and not money because of posterity; that’s the people we must go for. People who have the fear of God background, those who know that God is the owner of governance, those who respect the word of God either as Traditionalists, Muslims or Christians.

“So, this is a critical period as far as politics is concerned in Nigeria. If Nigerians indeed desire a positive change, it starts now. This is the time Nigerian electorate should look inwardly, critically assess and analyze all the aspirants vying for one political position or the other. We should evaluate their antecedents and profiles, their mindsets, the orientation they have previously; whether there are looking for money, for what to eat, or greedy people.

“You know, all of them have held one position or the other, either as Civil Servants or political office holders. So we should look into their activities and achievements”.

Amalambu maintained that integrity is a choice and when once it is cultivated into one’s life, it can never be manipulated easily.
