Accord party governorship candidate in Oyo state, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has urged Christians and Nigerians in general to pray for a peaceful general election in 2023.
Chief Adelabu gave the charge in a Christmas message issued by the Bayo Adelabu Campaign Organisation (BACO) made available to journalists in Ibadan on Sunday.
He stressed that in ensuring this, Nigerians should shun violence and vote candidates who have the love of the people at heart and who have shown such love in deeds.
“2023 is the election year in Nigeria, hence the need for people to use this yuletide and the celebration of the birth of Jesus to pray for a peaceful general election,” he said.
Chief Adelabu said, “Election has gone beyond rhetoric, we should look at the antecedents of the people vying for the different offices. In what way have they contributed to advancing the cause of the people? Did they create jobs for people in their private and official capacities?
“These are issues our people should consider in making a choice of who leads the State in 2023. It is not only about giving our people fish; they should also be taught how to fish.”
