Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>With six days to the presidential election, the founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has urged Nigerians to vote for leaders with capacity and character.<\/p>\n

Bishop Oyedepo urged Nigerians to vote wisely during the 2023 elections starting from Saturday.<\/p>\n

He spoke during a sermon on Sunday at the church\u2019s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State.<\/p>\n

Oyedepo, however, cautioned politicians that Nigeria is not a property for sale.<\/p>\n

Stressing that he wants Nigeria to be peaceful and stable, Oyedepo said: \u201cWe are not an entity or property, we\u2019re a people and we are not for sale.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do not need to be a billionaire to be a president; you need capacity, you need character and we have them in every part of the country, everyone is free to join a party, but if you do not join the wellbeing of this nation, you are in problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis week is decisive, so vote wisely. Vote for a leader with capacity and character.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Nigerians file out to the polls on Saturday, over 10 presidential candidates will be jostling to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

But, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu; Peoples Democratic Party, PDP\u2019s Atiku Abubakar; Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi; and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, are the frontline candidates jostling to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n
