WHY PASTORS SHOULD KEEP AWAY FROM CAMPAIGN GROUNDS EXCEPT YOU ARE A POLITICIAN

I watched Prophet Isa El-Buba participation at the Labour Party campaign rally in Jos, Plateau State yesterday. It drew mixed reactions.

Nigerian politics wheels on unpredictability because of the bureaucratic complicity of governance, control within government, religion and ethnic chauvinism.

Whoever wins the 2023 presidential election may appear not to know what to do or by the assessment of the people may be judged to be anti people.

The truth is, the Nigerian bureaucracy is complicit and has so many evil attachments that are embracing to logic when you get into power.

So, a good man may get into power and discover that allowing sleeping dogs lie is better than raking up old wounds.

Based on this, to fix Nigeria, we will need a mass ethical revolution of at least hundred years.

This for now, is the reason governance in Nigeria runs on mixed compromise that often make it impossible to address the expectations of the people.

This is the reason pastors must not stick their integrity for any politician by being part of their campaign train except you are a politician. There will be no magic in 2023.

Next year after the election and three years into the new administration, Nigerians will still curse whoever emerges president.

When this happens, pastors who stood on the podium to canvas for votes for politicians will not be spared.

Pastors who supported Buhari and campaigned for him in 2015 meant well for the country. But you see how it went.

Politics and governance are not the same thing. It's easier to make promises. That's politics. But governance is the decisively indicative test of politics.

Except a pastor is into partisan politics because of vested interests, he shouldn't campaign for any politician.
