“The debate, which is the third in the series, started in 2011, 2015 and the next one will come up in 2019 and  is geared at helping the electorate to hear from the prospective candidates and be able to make up their minds on who to cast their vote for.”

“This is the Church own way of doing pragmatic evangelisation because if our members are poorly treated by politicians, it will also affect the church. in an instance where members will not even have fare to even o come to the Church.”

“The present economy situation is that bad that we need to save the country by voting for  God-fearing leaders come 2019 to help savage the country. if we get it wrong again then Nigerians should be ready to suffer for another four years. four years is a long time in the life of anybody. so the need to sensitize Nigerians to collect rhier PVC and vote for the right leaders that will move this nation.”
