2019 polls: Clergyman predicts brighter future for Nigeria

- Emmanuel Obimma, a clergyman, has made a positive prediction ahead of 2019 general elections

- Obimma also said God has a special mission for the county and Nigerians should be sensitive to it

- The clergyman also admonished the youths in the the nation not be ready tools to desperate politicians

A clergyman, Reverend Father Emmanuel Obimma, the spiritual director of Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry, Uke in Anambra state, has predicted a brighter future for Nigeria ahead of the general elections.

Obimma made the prediction in his sermon at the ministry on Monday, February 18, saying that the rescheduled elections would open a new vista for the nation.

He said that God had a special mission for Nigeria, adding that Nigerians should all take part in the change that was imminent.

According to him: “Next Saturday is a day for a new beginning for Nigeria.

“Nigerians from all walks of life should be part of the imminent change by voting massively on Saturday for better governance and prosperous future for their children and children yet unborn."

He described the postponement of the elections as “a blessing in disguise,” saying that the shift provided an opportunity for more Nigerians to participate in the exercise.

He added: “I therefore appeal to the electorate to come out and vote to determine the new Nigeria everyone is yearning for."

The cleric further called on the nation’s political class to eschew acts capable of jeopardising the peaceful conduct of the polls.

He also admonished the nation’s youths not to allow themselves to be used as tools by politicians to foment crisis during the exercise.

He urged them to exercise their franchise and work for a peaceful and credible process that would produce leaders who would cater for their future wellbeing.

He said: “Nigerian youths should not allow themselves to be used as cannon fodder by politicians.

“My message is that they should shun all forms of electoral violence during the rescheduled presidential and National Assembly polls on Saturday.

“No life of any Nigerian is worth losing in the name of electoral failure or victory.”

The priest, therefore, urged those in positions of authority in the religious and political circles as well as market leaders to mobilise for peace rather than crisis.

“Nigerians should not be discouraged by the postponement of the polls, they should rather mobilise themselves and vote for a candidate of their choice.

‘’This is the time for change and I beg Nigerians to uphold democracy by coming out to exercise their franchise, don’t mortgage your conscience for anything,” Obimma said.

He prayed God to guide the leadership of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct an election that would be free, fair and credible.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
