The Methodist Church of Nigeria has declared that all member of voting age must get and validate their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) ahead of the 2023 general election.

In his words, “In this way, we will help enthrone an administration that will usher in adequate security and economic buoyancy which will enable us to enjoy full dividends of democracy.

“We need more men and women with the heart of sincerity, while citizens are enjoined to pray for good people that will occupy leadership positions in every sector.

“Only God can save Nigeria during this time and give us leaders that will always be sincere to the plights of the citizens.”

Kanu said that the state of the citizens’ preparedness for good leadership was also akin to their level of preparedness for the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Also speaking, the Methodist Archbishop of Ibadan Diocese, Most Rev. Olumuyiwa Odejayi, called on all to prepare for the second coming of Christ every moment of their life.

Odejayi urged all faithful to always be purposeful, prayerful, obedient and persistent in their preparation for Christ’s return.

Also, the Synod host, Very Rev. Oluyinka Akande, said that events unfolding globally were enough sign that Jesus would return soon.

Akande remarks that anyone conscious of Christ’s coming will not take to corruption, nepotism, kidnapping, armed robbery and other vices.

According to him, one prepares by turning away from sin, turning to God in faith and purifying his/her by humility and holiness.
