Politics
THE Nongo U Kristu U Sudan Hen Tiv Church (NKST), has warned its members and politicians against using the Church’s events or services for political rallies or campaigns.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Church’s Secretary General, Rev. Ephraim Shir and issued on Wednesday in Makurdi.
It stated that NKST as a Church, was not partisan as such, could not indulge in politics.
It further stated that no politician or party should take undue advantage of any NKST event to do campaigns unless the leadership of such an NKST event was available to control excesses.
It also stated that the leadership of NKST Church shall sanction any of the members found guilty of instigating, promoting, encouraging or influencing political activities during the Church’s programmes.
It stated that the NKST as a Church, shall continue to intercede for the land for peace, unity and would at all times continue to pray for all political candidates of various political parties for God’s will to take preeminence in their individual aspirations.
“We, therefore, urge every candidate to feel free to request for prayers from us as a Church, for that is one of our core mandates and obligations,” it stated. (NAN)
