Oyedepo Urges Church Members to Obtain Voter Cards Ahead of Elections
By Sabiu Abdullahi
The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has called on members of his church to obtain their voter cards and participate actively in the electoral process.
Oyedepo made the appeal during Sunday’s service at the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State. He said Christians have a civic duty to contribute to the choice of those who govern their countries.
“We have a civic responsibility as responsible citizens of our various nations. This church is today in 144 nations,” the cleric said.
“So, endeavour to secure your voter cards. You are men and women of the spirit. You should know on your own personal conviction where to cast your vote.”
He stressed that members of the church are full citizens of their respective countries and should not stay away from the democratic process.
“We are not passers-by in our nations. We are bona fide citizens of the nation. We have a right to participate in who governs us,” he said.
“So, please go ahead. It’s part of our policy; you will find it in our mandate. So, go ahead and ensure that you secure your voter’s right.”
Oyedepo also said the large population of Living Faith Church members gives the church a legitimate voice in national affairs.
“And this church, with the millions that we have, we have a say in it. So, be part of it,” he added.
