Ven. Kenneth Ugwuagu, Archdeacon of Ogbete Archdeaconry in Enugu, has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), king-makers and leaders to allow people’s choice to prevail in the 2023 General Election.
Ugwuagu, who also doubles as the Priest in-charge of St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Ogbete, Enugu, made the plea recently in Enugu while making his prophetic declarations for 2023.
He admonished those in authority especially for the up-coming election never to act or do anything that would jeopardise the credibility and people’s effort to participate fully in the process.
According to him, we are already facing hardship and hard times and the election hitting the rock or its outcome being mismanaged will spell hell and catastrophe for the entire country.
“We have prayed and prophesied that Nigerians will choose right and INEC, king-makers and leaders will allow the wishes and aspiration of the people to prevail for all to rejoice.”
Ugwuagu called on the Central Bank of Nigeria to ensure seamless implementation of the current policy of naira redesign and change of currency notes.
The cleric cautioned that the policy should not cause pain and hardship to the people.
“Our leaders should show more empathy to the poor, needy and less privileged since the hardship is biting hard on the masses.
“As a priest that serves the people; I entertain lots of unpalatable stories of hardship, hunger and poverty daily,” he said.
