From Sola Ojo, Kaduna
Ahead of this Saturday’s governorship and states house of assembly elections in 28 states including Kaduna, the Kafanchan-based Vision Pioneer, Throneroom Trust Ministry, Apostle Emmanuel Nuhu Kure has called on the voters in the State to vote for unity, survival, and justice.
Kure, who doubled as the Chairman of the Southern Kaduna Christian Leaders Association in a statement said the call became necessary because the state has been worse divided in the past eight years or there about hence, the need to vote against distrust, fear, and very unhealthy and bloody rivalry between the northern and southern Kaduna.
“I passionately and desperately appeal to all citizens of Kaduna State as we approach the elections on Saturday to vote against that wall that has sown enmity, distrust, fear, and very unhealthy and bloody rivalry between the northern and southern Kaduna separated people of faith even from within same religions.
“The last eight years have caused so much pain and confusion for most of the state and even more for one part. Unfortunately, the secret campaigns for the elections still carry the same messages of fear, lies, seeds of division, blackmails, inducements, and strange promises of all sorts.
“I plead with my Muslim and Christian brothers, let’s vote with one voice to break that wall and bring back the God of love to the state.
“The last eight years have sown so much hatred even among people of the same religion that I fear that another four or eight of that will be the end of the state. And will impact greatly on or shake up this country, taking past precedence into account.
“Both religions have prayed and fasted for a better future, let us please with one voice vote together to remove that past on Saturday. Let’s start a healing season and process.
“Let’s not play politics of sentiments this Saturday, let’s vote for unity, survival, and justice for all as our Holy Books command and our religions advocate. That is if we still believe in God and the Holy Books. God will hold us religious leaders accountable for destroying this nation.
“We did not see unity in the last eight years. Let’s bring back God’s love to Kaduna State. Let Kaduna State become the epic reference center of the north again. Is this -God’s Will- too much to ask the people of the books? Let’s vote for a government that will break this wall. Again with a broken heart and cry to God, I appeal to you, let’s bring a government that will bring down this wall.
Whoever wins by God’s grace must bring down this wall, heal wounds and restore confidence among all in the State.
“May God bear witness this day that somebody spoke out for God and for all religious leaders who still fear God by the Holy Books, and for the many drops of blood of the innocent that Kaduna State has swallowed or may continue to swallow if we make a mistake on Saturday”, he said.
