No PVC, No Holy Communion, Cleric Tells Churches
The Anglican Bishop of Asaba Diocese, Justus Mogekwu, has called on Nigerian churches to insist on parishioners presenting their Personal Voter Cards, before receiving holy communion and participating in religious activities.
The bishop gave the directive in a sermon.
According to the bishop, it is the duty of Christians to “enthrone” good leaders by voting.
“Christians must actively get involved in politics to enthrone good governance at all levels. If men who are righteous and fear God are in power, the people rejoice,” said Mogekwu.
“Pastors should ensure their members get their PVC before they take communion and do other worship services in the household of God.” he added.
“As communion is important to us as Christians, which makes us healthy, spirit-filled and very strong, it is such with the PVC that makes us enthrone good governance at any level.”
Bishop Mokegwu committed the coming elections into the hands of God, praying for good leaders who will move Delta State and Nigeria to a better place.
Similarly, the Delta branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) demanded that churchgoers get their Permanent Voters Card before engaging in worship at their respective churches.
This was made known by the CAN chairman of the Patani Local Government Area, Kofa Ithanasius.
The clergyman added that Christians who refused to vote during the election had committed a sin and that children of God should not murmur or complain when evil men are in power.
