2019: Meduoye tasks INEC on fairness
The General Overseer of Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria Rev. Felix Meduoye has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to discharge its duties in the forthcoming elections with fairness and justice.
INEC, he said, has a pivotal role to play in the coming general election and must not compromise.
“The sensitivity of their role in the election as the umpire cannot be overstated. We urge them to be unbiased, non-partisan and uncompromising in executing their responsibilities, they must see their duties as selfless, sacred and one owed to the Almighty God and the citizens,” he said.
Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Meduoye noted the nation was going through trying times politically, economically and socially.
He described 2019 as a significant year for the country, urging Nigerians to elect only leaders that will stir the ship for another four years.
Meduoye lamented: “Our country, Nigeria has been blessed in several ways but these blessings have been highly under-utilized because of some of the factors earlier enumerated.”
He said all well-meaning Nigerians have a huge role to play to change the cause of this nation by participating in the forthcoming elections.
“The forthcoming election offers us as Nigerians another opportunity to determine the destiny of this country through our active participation,” he stated.
He appealed to all Nigerians to be committed, patriotic and participate in the running of the affairs of the country to build a stable, prosperous and enduring country.
He also pleaded with Nigerian to promote democratic values and making our leaders accountable.
“As we go into the elections, our focus and demand from politicians should be on critical areas such as security, economy, infrastructure, education, youth empowerment, crusade against corruption among others and how these will be effectively tackled and fixed to ensure our collective growth and development,” he stressed.
