The General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has urged Nigerians to vote consciously in the 2023 general elections to elect new leaders for the country.
The convener of Global Crusade with Kumuyi, who said that the government and appropriate authorities had assured all of peaceful, free and fair elections, said the citizens owed it a duty to perform their civic duties.
Kumuyi spoke with journalists on arrival in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday night for a crusade tagged, “Transformation for total triumph”, billed to begin on Thursday.
He said, “I believe that every citizen knows that it is our right as well as our responsibility to vote for a leader of our choice. I charge every one of us tovote consciously, people should go to the polls and vote for the leader we know.
“The sitting President has assured us that the election will be free and fair. On the issue of attacks on some INEC facilities, I think those in charge of the administration of election are trying to manage the whole thing and they are assuring us that the elections will still hold.
“They are assuring us that we will have good elections and that Nigerian electorate are going to choose a leader of their own choice that will lead us after this administration.”
The cleric, who said that the GCK crusades holding in Ekiti State and as well across the globe, were targeted at ensuring the transformation of lives and the global community, said, “My vision and focus is that whatever I have learnt, whatever I have got spiritually, academically and vision wise, I want to pass to the next generation.
“So, the crusades we are having are not the normal kind of crusades. My understanding of the real crusade is to look at every man and let him see: ‘Why am I here on earth? What should I focus on? What am I going to achieve? Have I done what I need to do? Am I going to change the world in which I am?’
“That means I should speak to the young people, I want to challenge them to know that here you are, what marks have you made and it is not too late. And also for the old generation, to tell them you can start now.”
