Gov. Okowa’s aide advocates more Christian participation in politics
The Senior Political Adviser to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state, Funkekeme Solomon, has stressed the need for more Christians to participate in politics.
Mr Solomon stated this when he received leaders of the Christian Political Leaders Forum (CPLF) on Saturday in Asaba.
He noted that political power is second to the power of God, and charged members of the group to encourage Christians to take political leadership roles.
“Christians should be involved in politics because the change we are craving for can only be effected when we are involved in the system. Staying away from political system is self-imposed limitation,” he stated.
According to the former commissioner, “I want to use this medium to inform Christians that another transition is around the corner and you must key into it by getting your Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) and party cards. This is a PDP State and we will never hand over to another party.
“We must support and pray for God to give Gov. Okowa clear vision and direction in order to record a seamless transition, not only to finish strong in infrastructural and human capital development but politically as well,” he added.
While commending the group for its achievements and structural spread across the state, he charged them not to relent in the drive.
