voting
BY ANAYO OKOLI
UMUAHIA — The Archbishop of Methodist Church, Umuahia, in Abia State, Rev. Sunday Agwu has warned Abia people not to vote any “ungodly and inhuman person” as governor of the state in 2015.
Agwu, also, said any ungodly politician who wins the governorship seat in the state in the next election would not last long in office.
He spoke at a thanksgiving church service for the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Mkpa Agu Mkpa, who survived an auto crash.
Agwu then advised the state governor, Theodore Orji to be very mindful of the type of person who would succeed him, pointing out that Abia people would ensure the removal of any bad person from office through prayers.
“We have heard that your party has a zoning system; so you intend to hand over to an Ukwa/Ngwa man or woman. Your Excellency, our plea is that you be careful about the person you wish to support to succeed you.
“We will not want to have a governor who is selfish, inaccessible, an idol worshipper, not compassionate, parochial, clannish and inhuman; or a governor who would not support the work of God.
”We want someone who will see the entire Abia as his parish, otherwise, he will not last in office. Our prayers will drive him out of office.
’’Just like we have been praying to support you because of the kind of governor you are; if we should have someone who comes to exercise power over us unnecessarily, without taking care of us, we all will not be happy,” the Archbishop said.
Quoting from the Bible, he added that, “when God is with you, safety and security are assured,” and urged the people to stop looking for security where they cannot find it.
