Lafia, 24 August, 2022 / 8:35 pm (ACI Africa).
There is a need to sensitize the people of God in Nigeria concerning the seriousness of the 2023 elections as the country’s future depends on its outcome, a Catholic Bishop in the West African country has said.
Bishop David Ajang of Nigeria’s Lafia Diocese who was addressing Catholic Communicators under the auspices of the Catholic Media Practitioners Association of Nigeria (CAMPAN) in his Episcopal See said that Nigeria could be better or worse depending on who is elected President.
“The future of Nigeria and Nigerians depends on the outcome of the 2023 elections,” Bishop Ajang who is also the Episcopal Chairman of Social Communications Commission of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) is quoted as saying in the Thursday, August 22 report.
He adds, “Let us look at the present state of affairs. It is bad enough, but it could be worse, or it could become better. Whether it will become worse or better depends on who we choose.”
The Nigerian Catholic Bishop goes on to urge the members of CAMPAN to take it as a responsibility to create public awareness about the importance of the elections.
