2023: There’s No Christian Political Party – CAN Says
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), on Sunday urged Nigerians particularly Christians, not to be deceived by those manipulating the Bible to suit their political agenda, ahead of the scheduled Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Chairman of CAN in Kaduna State, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, who stated this while addressing the conference of Baptist Women fellowship in Southern Kaduna, stressed the need for Christians to be careful of politicians that have masterminded the act of manipulating the holy Bible to suits their interest.
Hayab said that it is okay for people to vote for the people of their choice, it was however satanic for some devious people to manipulate the Bible to serve their interest.
According to Rev. Hayab; “Our votes must be massive, nobody should lie to the Christians that there is one political party, and that if we don’t vote them, we will not go to heaven. There is no where in the Bible that says so. Nobody should distort our theology just because they want political office.
“I call on all Christians to vote with conviction, nobody should deceived us that there is a political party for Christians. We should not accept the lies, that is not Biblical. Who even told them their candidate is a Christian?
“Those saying that Christians should vote for Christian candidates of a political party because they have Christian names are not following the true teachings of the Bible.
“Nobody should manipulate the Bible because he wants the votes of Christians. Let us vote those who are competent not base on ethnicity and or religion,” he said.
