The Spiritual Director of Holy
Ghost Adoration Ministry, Uke in Anambra State, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma, has
predicted a brighter future for Nigeria, ahead of the general elections.
According to NAN, Obimma made the
prediction in his sermon at the ministry on Monday, 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.
“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 to conduct an election
that would be free, fair and credible
