Niger Governor urge Christians to actively participate in politics

The Niger State Governor, Mohammed Bago has charged Christians in the state to actively participate in politics to enable them gain political appointments.

Bago represented by the Coordinator, Christian Affairs, Pastor Isah Lawrence in an interview made the call.

During the interview , he repeatedly admonished Christians to participate and earn appointments or selective positions.

Bago observed, “Christians have not been fully participating in politics either with their time, finances and sacrifices. It is time to work as one faith.

“Before, Christians have been just like rolling stones, but now we want them to have focus because if you don’t know where you are going to, you should know where you are coming from.

“Christians need to participate fully in politics so that when it comes to the period of appointment, they will be given serious positions. If you do not participate, you do not have the rights to demand for or is it automatic?

Do you think they will just call you and say come and take appointments?” he queried.


Nonetheless, he assured them (Christians) that during the forthcoming elections, if Christians participate they will be carried along and appointed into positions.
