The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has called on Nigerians to vote in only competent person as the country’s leader during the 2023 presidential election.
The conference said such a leader must have capacity to unite and secure Nigeria.
He said, “We cannot run away from the fact that very often a people get the kind of government they deserve. Yes, this is true. The numbers of Nigerians who vote are very few. Those who do not vote, have already voted by allowing a few to determine the future of the majority.
“The argument that INEC or other agents may not make our votes count is no longer acceptable. We must exercise our right to vote and then speak to protect our vote.
“We call on all Nigerians to get their Permanent Voters’ Card and get ready to vote according to their personal conviction of who is capable to lead Nigeria or the State to a better life.
“Vote for those who can ensure the security of life and property. Vote for those who have shown that they have the capacity to unite us as a people. Vote for people who possess the capacity to make Nigeria an industrial hub for Africa. Vote for people who can make Nigeria a land of opportunity for all.
“Vote for people who can make our dreams come to life. Nigerians must resist the temptation of falling into a divisive political campaign.
