Nigeria: Pastors Are Insincere, Says Cleric

31 October 2010

THE general overseer of Pentecostal Canaanland Mission and president of Christ International Ministers Alliance (CIMA), Pastor Nick Medo-Uwa shocked his listeners recently when he declared that Nigeria should not deceived by current pressure on them to look for men with good characters to vote for in next year's elections. Instead, he said Nigerians must seek for people with vision to pilot the affairs of the nation in the next four years.

"I want to emphasis here that Nigeria doesn't need a good man to be president, for Nigeria to move things forward," he declared "we don't need a good man. What we need is a man of vision, a visionary leader; somebody that knows where Nigeria is and knows where he's taking Nigeria to. And that's exactly what we are praying for. We're really praying seriously, so that God will give us a leader, a visionary leader, a leader that understands Nigeria's problems, and a Nigerian who is willing, who has political will to move Nigeria from the present level to a higher level."
