Chinedum Treasure
Anambra Catholic Priest, popularly known as Ebube Monso, Rev Fr Emmanuel Obimma has urged Nigerians to get ready to exercise their franchise in the forthcoming general election and allow the God of impossibility to handle the rest.
Obimma who gave the advice on Monday in a chat with newsmen said although Nigeria appeared not to be working as expected, they should look up to God for a leader with the interest of the masses.
He acknowledged that the exercise would not be easy, in view of difficulty in removing an incumbent, but insisted all things were possible with God.
He said, “We’re looking up to God. Everybody knows that Nigeria is not working and we are looking up to God to give us a leader who will feel the pain of the masses.
“I’m saying this because I am close to the masses, unlike the politicians. I stand a better chance of telling the politicians the condition of the masses.
“Nigeria is finished; our politicians have destroyed this country. My prayer is that God will give us a leader after His heart.
“I know that next year’s election will not be easy, but with God all things are possible.
“It is very difficult to remove an incumbent because he has the security paraphernalia which are under his control and he also has assess to the country’s finances.
“But human beings may have all these, but God has the final say. That is our fate and confidence that God is still in control.
“So let the people not be discouraged because from interactions with people, I sense a kind of disillusionment.
“People are tilting to despair that there is no way they will count the votes cast even if they win because the man in charge is a rugged politician who knows how to maneuver things .
“But since he’s not God, everybody should come out and cast their vote. Everybody knows which candidate is better and most qualified to lead the country to greatness.”
