The Southern Kaduna Christian Leaders Association (SKCLA) at the weekend resolved to organise what it tagged “The Pastors Congress”, aimed at consulting and screening party candidates to know which one to be supported ahead of the 2023 general elections in Nigeria.
SKCLA Chairman Apostle Emmanuel Nuhu Kure said in a statement that the development was a part of the resolutions reached after a joint meeting with the board of trustees of the association held in Kafanchan at the weekend.
Kure further explained that the congress which will bring over one thousand clergies from all denominations in Southern Kaduna was also expected to have the governorship candidates of all the political parties in the State in attendance to speak on their blueprint for the people of Southern Kaduna.
The chairmen clarified that the move was to give all the parties a level playing ground to convince and give the Church a direction on the best candidate to follow.
The statement while rejoicing with the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, His Lordship, Mathew Hassan Kukah on his 70th birthday, also commiserated the immediate family and congregation of the Late General Overseer of Solid Rock Fellowship International, Archbishop Zakka Bonet.
Bishop Kukah had on Wednesday marked his 70th birthday while the Late Archbishop Bonet died on August 19 during a protracted illness.
