2023: Politics Dirty, Christians Should Get Involved To Clean It Up – Archbishop Oliver Abah

Christians have been told to get more involved in politics.

The call was made by the Prelate-Elect of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Archbishop Oliver Abah.

According to him, because politics is dirty, Christians should get involved to clean it up.

The bishop stated this when the All Progressives Congress, APC, 2023 senatorial candidate for Benue South, Comrade Daniel Onjeh, paid a congratulatory visit to him in Otukpo, Benue State on Tuesday. 

Onjeh and his team were received by Archbishop Abah, in the company of other eminent Bishops of the Methodist Church of Nigeria.

Speaking at the occasion, Onjeh said he received the news of Archbishop Abah’s emergence as the Prelate-Elect of the Methodist Church of Nigeria with great delight.

The APC candidate also congratulated Rt. Rev. Joshua Ngbede, the Bishop of Apa Methodist Church who was present at the occasion, on his election as the Archbishop-Elect, Archdiocese of Benue, Methodist Church of Nigeria, the position being vacated by Archbishop Abah.

He stated that Archbishop Abah’s ascension to the high ecclesiastical office – being the first Northerner to attain that height – was a source of great pride and inspiration to the entire good people of Benue South and all Methodists in Nigeria.

He also noted that the entire people of Benue South and Ogbadibo in particular, where both he and the Archbishop hailed from, were proud of the clergyman and hoped that he would be steadfast in his prayers of intercession for the peace, progress and development of Benue South and of the entire nation.
