<\/p>\nHe said Christians should elect credible and patriotic leaders in 2019.<\/p>\n
Mustapha spoke at the Northern Christian youths Economic and Political Summit on Saturday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
According to the SGF, voting was more than just a fundamental right in the country\u2019s democracy, but, \u201calso a core part of civic responsibility in shaping the kinds of communities they would want to live in.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that voting is not just how the youths make their voices heard, but the first step in becoming more civically engaged and aware of the community around them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf every Christian will vote according to biblical values, we can change the future of our nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s come together in taking a stand for righteousness so we can continue to be one nation under God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are thinking that some group of people have made it impossible for you to excel in life by limiting yourself then, you are your problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just have to erase such from your minds so you can make meaningful progress in this nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main purpose of salt is for preservation and until we preserve and protect our land there would not be meaningful development in the land.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all have the spiritual mandate to bring the challenges of this nation to an end.<\/p>\n
\u201cRighteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this simple verse, we see established a rule, or standard, composed of two alternatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no middle ground. There are two causes, each with its own effect.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe target of this phrase is no specific nation, but its meaning clearly applies to all nations, and that includes Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, it is important for us, as Nigerians, to measure ourselves, especially in these challenging times.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should ask ourselves which of these two causes we now embrace, whether righteousness or sin,\u201d he said\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
