Christians have been urged to ensure active participation during the 2019 general election.
The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese most Reverend Paulinus Ezeokafor, made the call while addressing newsmen in Awka.
Bishop Ezeokafor who regretted that most Christians all over the country speaks ill of the government but always fail to participate in the election process, noted that the only way to vote out the wrong people during elections is to obtain the permanent voters card which will commence on Monday.
The Catholic Prelate while expressing displeasure with attitude of Christian who sell their votes for little token and endure punishment of sufferings for a long period of time, wondered why candidates who retired from active service and above sixty years can be allowed to pilot the affairs of Nigeria and described it as burden on the growth and development of the country.
While applauding the recent move by EFCC and INEC to check-mate excessive spending by politicians during elections, Bishop Ezeokafor maintained that if implemented it will restore sanity in the election process in the country, as it will help project right candidate to the society during campaigns.
The Awka Catholic Bishop pointed out that Christians are entrusted with the responsibility of taking the lead in positive direction and charged them to eschew non -chalant attitudes as Nigeria belongs to nobody in particular but to everyone collectively.
