Churches Should Not Neglect politicians After Tenure - Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Sunday, admonished churches across the country not to abandon politicians after the expiration of their tenure in office.

Wike stated this in Port Harcourt at St Mark’s Anglican Church for the birthday celebration of the House of Representatives Minority Leader, Kingsley Ogundu Chinda.

He underscored the need for cleric to embrace politicians after office, adding that “politicians often contribute to churches but are neglected when their tenure ends.”

His words: “The church should also remain steadfast; the church should also not abandon people when they’re no longer in office. When most of us were in office, there was no church we weren’t contributing to. But immediately we left office, it was a different story.

“You, as agents of God, must show that you’re practicing what you preach. It’s not only politicians. Always be there for us; pray for us; don’t change.”
