The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo, has advised Christians to speak out against injustice and corruption in order to improve society.
He stated this on Sunday, December 25, while speaking at his residence during a Christmas concert organized by Apostolic Faith Church Ondo State.
When public officials steal funds, the church should not encourage them by remaining silent, but rather condemn them, as this is the only way God will have mercy on Nigeria.
“My only advice to the church is, when they see people in public offices who have stolen fund, they shouldn't say God has blessed you. When someone does injustice in politics, the church should cry out and say this is injustice. If the church does this, God will have mercy upon Nigeria and truth and justice will come”, he said.
While praising the work of the church in the state, the SDP presidential candidate stated that he will build more infrastructure in the state.
"The most important thing is power is useless. Purpose is more important. And everything that is kept in your hand is a trust from God. Even our own life is a trust. It doesn't belong to you. If you live for 50 years and 100years it's not because you have the best doctor. Is because God has a mission for you, He wants you to fulfill. I talk to my friends running for office. Those of yesterday have gone. The most important thing is, when you are here, make mark. We are here just like a shadow. Then we should do our best".
“We'll do all the roads, as for the lights we have enough lights, the 615 solar lights we earlier commissioned is just one third, more will come. There's no part of Ondo you will go and there will be no light”.
Queen Lilian Adebayo, wife of the SDP presidential candidate, thanked everyone for coming and expressed hope that with God's help and the votes of the people of the state, Prince Adebayo would win the election.
She said, “It is a great privilege having the church here, I want to thank you all, especially for the playlet by the children which inspires me, it shows that man has no power, it is God who will do the choosing for us even for the position my husband is aspiring for. I know people will have to go out to vote but I know that God will do it”.
The highlight of the event was when various people presented gifts to Prince Adebayo, as well as the exchange of gifts between himself and the little Ondo children.
His entourage included Chief Silas Alani, SDP southwest chairman, Mr Patrick Anethua, Edo north SDP member, Godwin Osigbeme, and Ambassador Rufus Aiyenugba, SDP National Publicity Secretary.
