The Labour Party Senatorial Candidate for Anambra Central, Ven. Tochukwu Ikezue, has urged Christians across Nigeria to be spiritually alert and politically conscious ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning against forces he said were working against the Church and the nation.
Ikezue made the call while speaking with journalists after the November Adoration programme at Iba Pope, Awada, Obosi, Anambra State.
The spiritual exercise was organised by the Divine Mercy Eucharistic Adoration Ministry led by its Spiritual Director, Rev. Fr. Dr. Aloysius Agba, who declared November as the month of “Divine Promotion and Family Decoration.”
He described the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket adopted in the 2023 elections as an aberration, cautioning against its recurrence in 2027.
“Nigeria is a Christian nation, but the Muslim-Muslim ticket of 2023 is an aberration. If it is allowed to repeat itself in 2027, it will be regrettable for all those who played roles in bringing it about,” he said.
Ikezue, who is also a cleric, said his intervention was part of his priestly duty to speak truth and call people back to God.
“As a priest, I have to do my job to warn them to desist, so that the blood of our martyrs will not be wasted. We cannot keep quiet while evil is being normalized,” he stated.
He also said the All Progressives Congress (APC) should not be allowed to return to the Presidential Villa in 2027, citing insecurity, economic hardship and what he described as poor governance and marginalisation of Christians.
The senatorial hopeful urged Christians in Anambra Central and beyond to set aside political differences, unite in prayer and use their votes to defend their faith and future.
Ikezue further offered prayers for divine promotion, family upliftment and peace in Nigeria, and for blessings upon families that participated in the Adoration.
