He particularly said election could only be free and fair when political parties play the game according to the rules.
Addressing reporters shortly after the end of CAC worldwide Pastors’ Conference at Ikeji Arakeji in Osun State, Akinosun also warned politicians against using of thuggery before and during the Election Day.
According to him, “Politicians should note that they are representing human beings and not animals. Killing, destruction of property should be stopped. It is now high time Nigerian politicians leant how to accept defect and embrace peace.
“It is God who appoints leaders; you can only rule a country, state, or local government, if the Lord approved your ways. You cannot force yourself on the electorate. For this, stop killing the people you want to rule.”
The Pastor urged the electorate not to allow any selfish politician to use money to buy them into unreasonable party philosophy and seniments.
Speaking on the nation’s security, the President of CAC who condemned the recent suicide bombing at St. John’s Catholic Church in Bauchi State called for the introduction of State Police.
Akinosun appealed to the State Governors not to abuse the advantage he has to oppress their political opponents.
His words, “the latest case of suicide bombing in the church has reinvigorated the call for our security service to be re-organised. What the latest bombing indicated is that the talks with the terror group may be collapsing.
“While we call on the Federal Government to redouble their efforts to ensure that the terror group’s activities are brought under control, we also urge President Goodluck Jonathan to consider the introduction of State Police.”(dailypostng)
