Sign Electoral Bill Into Law, Catholic Church Tells Buhari

The national director of social communication at the secretariat, Very Rev. Fr. Michel Umoh, who gave the charge on behalf of the church yesterday while briefing journalists on the state of the nation, said the church would continue to encourage Buhari to sign the Electoral Bill.

Umoh while speaking on the forthcoming 2023 general elections, said true Nigerians must rise in unison to act and lend their voices to all that is good and noble to save the country. He advised Nigerians to go and obtain their voter cards, adding that the Independent National Electoral Commission must ensure that the process of obtaining the voter cards is made easy for the people, and urged the commission to ensure that votes are actually counted during the election.“Politics is governance, so the Catholic Church supports politics and it encourages members to support politics. But the church does not play party politics.

“We are against such dillydallying. President Muhammadu Buhari should sign the bill. Signing the bill will shape the process of having a free, fair and credible election. The church will encourage the presidency to ensure that the bill is signed. The church is out for honesty and transparency in political matters.

“The next dispensation, which we eagerly look forward to with hope, does not give room for trading blames or for those petty partisanships which have often been defined along with tribal, ethnic, religious or political affiliations.
