The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has warned that any candidate in the forthcoming general elections with questionable character would not work for the common good of the electorate.
The CBCN made the submission in a communiqué issued at the end of their 2023 first plenary meeting held at the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria in Abuja.
The document was co-signed by the President of CBCN, Archbishop Lucius Ugorji, and Secretary, Bishop Donatus Ogun.
According to the Bishops, politicians with evil intentions could in no way possess a good intentions for the people and the development of the nation.
The communique reads, “These upcoming elections provide us with yet another opportunity in our national history to choose leaders capable of governing for the common good.
“This is now the time to reject evil, greater or lesser, and wisely choose good and capable candidates at all levels. Our votes are precious; we must use them well.
“We encourage all eligible citizens to come out en masse to vote for God-fearing, honest, vibrant, and transparent leaders for a better Nigeria.”
