Condemn injustice, SDP Presidential Candidate urges Christians
By Emmanuel Oloniruha
The Presidential Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo, has advised Christians to call out injustice and corruption as a way to make the society better.
A statement issued by the Adebayo Presidential media Team in Abuja quoted Adebayo advising while speaking during the Christmas concert organised by Apostolic Faith Church, at his residence in Ondo State.
Adebayo said when public officeholders steal funds, the church should not encourage them by keeping silent but condemn it, saying that is the only way God will have mercy upon Nigeria.
“My only advice to the church is, when they see people in public offices who have stolen funds, they shouldn’t say God has blessed you.
“When someone does injustice in politics, the church should cry out and say this is injustice. If the church does this, God will have mercy upon Nigeria and truth and justice will come,” he said.
The SDP presidential candidate, while commending what the church was doing in the state, said he would provide more infrastructure in the state.
“The most important thing is power is useless. Purpose is more important. And everything that is kept in your hand is a trust from God. Even our own life is a trust. It doesn’t belong to you.
“If you live for 50 years and 100years it’s not because you have the best doctor. Is because God has a mission for you, He wants you to fulfill.
“I talk to my friends running for office. Those of yesterday have gone. The most important thing is, when you are here, make mark. We are here just like a shadow. Then we should do our best.
“We will do all the roads, as for the lights we have enough lights, the 615 solar lights we earlier commissioned is just one third, more will come. There’s no part of Ondo you will go and there will be no light,” Adebayo said.
On her part, wife of the SDP expressed hope that with God’s help and the votes of the people of the state, Adebayo would emerge a president of Nigeria.
“It is a great privilege having the church here, I want to thank you all, especially for the playlet by the children which inspires me
“It shows that man has no power, it is God who will do the choosing for us even for the position my husband is aspiring for.
“I know people will have to go out to vote but I know that God will do it” she said.
The highlight of the event includes presentation of gifts to Adebayo by different persons, and the exchange of gifts between himself and little Ondo children.
