Most Reverend Mathew Ndagoso, Bishop of Kaduna Catholic Archdiocese, has encouraged Christians not to vote for any political party that runs a same-faith ticket in the 2023 elections.

Such tickets, according to Rev Ndagoso, do not promote equity, fairness, or togetherness, especially in a diverse country like Nigeria.

Speaking at an event in Kaduna on Monday, Bishop Ndagoso maintained that religion is an important aspect to include in the nation’s socio-political charter, which any political party or presidential candidate must examine while making election selections.

The bishop believes that the nation’s religious, social, and cultural diversity is a blessing that individuals in positions of leadership can and should capitalize on.

“Nigeria is a very diverse country, we come from different cultural backgrounds, religious backgrounds, and social backgrounds and our diversities are not a curse; they are blessings from God.

“All we need are leaders who will be able to manage and harness these diversities as to enrich our country. Therefore, the kind of leader Nigeria needs is somebody who has the ability to manage our differences and bring everybody together and give everyone a sense of belonging.”

He also warned Christians not to squander their votes and to avoid voting for any political party that runs on the same faith ticket as them, adding that any party that is indifferent to the feelings of Christians must be prepared to live with the repercussions of their actions.

The Catholic cleric also addressed the country’s growing security concerns, which he believes would pose a big threat to the 2023 general election if not addressed as soon as possible.

He, however, urged security services and President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that no section of the country is under the control of bandits and terrorists, saying that they will not exercise their franchise in such an environment.
