2019: Nigerians should vote based on their conscience —Bishop Atere

The Anglican Bishop of Awori Diocese, Rt. Reverend Johnson Atere, has urged Nigerians to vote as God has directed them during the forthcoming general election.

He made the observation  during the 60th Founders’ Day Commemoration Service Of The Grange School, Lagos.

The bishop said the country needed a leader who has both spiritual and secular understanding of God.

“Don’t bother about the level of campaigns . What do you worth? Vote as God has directed you, because things must change and change must change.

“We have had enough educated illiterates. We want those who will have the secular and spiritual level of God, he said”.

Atere said that that lack of respect for education was the cause of terrorism in the country, calling parents to instill fear of God in their children.

“We don’t respect education. Where we have terrorists, look at their level of education. If they had been well educated, they would value life.

The children to you parents are pounds and God wants you to invest and bring back gain on these investments.

“The fear of God is the completion of education. If it is not part of them, they may be destroyed.

“Fearing God is that you must respect Him. This God is holy. When you know the truth about knowledge, that truth will set you free.

“There’s no wisdom that can take you back to heaven except the wisdom and knowledge of God,” The bishop said.
