Pastor David Ibiyeomie has advised Nigerians to vote primarily for people who have the vision to bring the country forward in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
The prominent gospel preacher said this during a sermon in Port Harcourt, urging Nigerians not to vote based on party affiliation, claiming that all of the country’s political parties had failed the country.
He advised against voting for politicians rather than statesmen, stating that politicians are focused on the present, whereas statesmen are worried about future generations.
He said, “Don’t vote for a party again in Nigeria, vote people with vision. All the parties have disappointed us, now vote somebody who is visionary. Nigeria needs somebody who has a vision not somebody who is in a party.
“What we need now is not part, religion or tribe. All we need is a visionary person to bring Nigeria out. No politician should be voted, vote a statesman. A statesman thinks about the next generation while a politician thinks of 2023.
“Anybody thinking about 2023 is a politician, he will win, he will destroy you. If you take money to vote, you have sold your conscience”.
