Nigerians Must Reject Evil Leaders In 2023, Says Bishop Onah

The Catholic Bishop of Nsukka Diocese, Godfrey Onah, has said that the 2023 polls provides the right opportunity for Nigerians to reject evil leaders and usher in real change.

The Bishop who said this while celebrating Easter Mass at St Theresa's Cathedral, Nsukka on Friday said that corrupt politicians are already strategising to install their corrupt fellows in various leadership positions through INEC.

He however urged Nigerians to stand against the evil plot by becoming politically active enough to elect honest and hard-working Nigerians irrespective of their tribe.

"Jesus courageously and happily went into Jerusalem to embrace his mission and his destiny because the hour had to come.

"Now, the hour has come for all Christians and all persons of goodwill in Nigeria to stand up, walk into the society and the various aspects of governance and life in Nigeria and embrace our mission and our destiny for a better Nigeria. 

"We should not allow ourselves to be led sheepishly by some selfish, bigoted, corrupt, religious and political leaders who will ignore our wish and impose on us injustice and perpetration of corruption.

"While we are preparing for the election, let us all rise, register to vote, come out to vote, protect our votes and choose our leaders. 

"These evil men are now busy meeting and they're already planning which Barabas, a corrupt thief like themselves, will impose on us through INEC (Pilate).

"We must resist this. We want an honest hard-working Nigerian who has shown capacity for governance and transparency irrespective of where he is coming from and support him to lead us. 

"We reject Barabas; we choose Jesus. We reject corrupt leaders; we choose honest men and women.

"This is the time whether they are caucuses or stakeholders, we know they are corrupt, selfish evil men, most of them.

"If you say you are not one of them and you find yourself there, be a Joseph of Arimathea and speak out. 

The Bishop who said that Nigerians have suffered enough under evil and corrupt leadership, urged them to take their destinies in their own hands to bring about real change in 2023.
