As preparations towards the 2023 elections gain momentum , Dr. Peter Olukayode Odetoyinbo Bishop, Catholic Diocese of Abeokuta has urged Nigerians to embrace a new orientation, attitudinal change, and lifestyle in the New Year.  

According to Odetoyibo, Nigerians have to join hands to save the country by electing credible leaders that will salvage things from getting worse.

In his words: “We all think of changing Nigeria but let one of us begin by first changing his or her attitude then Nigeria will be a better place. It is not enough to desire the joy of a new Nigeria, there is a corresponding responsibility. Our desired future will only emerge when we go out determined to cast our votes for the candidates we believe can deliver on the dividends of democracy and help fulfil our dream of a prosperous nation.”

Speaking further, Odetoyinbo encouraged Nigerians to collect their permanent voters’ cards and vote wisely in the coming general elections by rejecting all forms of vote selling and incentives by politicians who have “turned our willpower to merchandise”. 

“Do not sell your vote for pecuniary gains,” the Catholic Diocese advised. 

“Imagine how kidnapping, bribery, vote-buying, ballot box snatching, forgery, insurgency, banditry, robbery and other related vices would become things of the past if everyone of us decides to embrace a ‘change of attitude’ as we approach the New Year.  A change of attitude and orientation particularly as we prepare for the general elections is our clarion call.”
