…Advises Deltans To Register With On Going E-registration Process.
By Onoriode Etatsemi
No fewer than 2000 Christians from all over the 25 local government areas of Delta State have joined the Peoples Democratic Party in Effurun, while others took advantage of the e-registration exercise at the Christian Community Platform prayer conference to register.
The Immediate Past Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice Delta State, Peter Adogbejire Mrakpor SAN, who was a guest lecturer at the 2021 annual Ingathering Prayer /political sensitization summit and official presentation of her international Christian news magazine ” THE TRUEPATH ” told believers in Christ that they can only enthrone good governance at any level if they belong to a political party and as well register with INEC which he said, is the beginning of the Electoral process.
Mrakpor explained to the mamoth crowd of believers at the Great Favour Anointing Bible Church INT’L Inc, Effurun, who probably got winds of his presence at the event to turn out en masse, that the essence of Christianity is the product of the individual thinking and conviction.
The erudite legal luminary added, ” it is not easy to worship God in spirit and in truth. We must be convinced. I am here to talk of your vote but not politics nor law.The power to enthrone good governance in a democratic setting like ours. When God created man, he established a covenant structure at all levels so that Man will be able to be in charge. He did this so that things are done properly by the same people he created.”
Mrakpor who interpreted the meaning of his name ( Obowomrakpowiyo, ) which when translated from Urhobo language into English, (means how you see your life, is the product of your thoughts or thinking ) says, we are the product of our thoughts and conviction.
He told them that having served Delta State as the Attorney general and Commissioner for Justice in several committees between 2015-2021, he is now knowledgeable enough to tell them that they as children of God needs to take charge of themselves.
He pointed out that the laws of the land, ” is affecting each and every one of us sitting here, irrespective of who you are whether you like it or not . If you allow those who do not share your faith to be in the position to determine the way the state is governed, then we are doomed ”
He explained further that we should have men and women of proven characters in government who are accountable to God and the people , people who are very knowledgeable in the Scriptures with the fear of God. If we have men in government that are accountable to God, then be rest assured we have a better society ”
He noted that, ” Anything can happen if you have a wrong person in power. Somebody wrote, when you talk about men in government, you are talking about men with character in government who are subject to christ.”
The Delta former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, however decried the situation in the country where people view the poor state of the economy to those in authorities instead of attributing the bad situation to all of us Nigerians whom he claimed are the major contributors to all our woos .
He enjoined all eligible voters to join sellable parties like his party the People’s Democratic Party. Registered and vote, not by sentiments but by principles so that they would not suffer the outcome thereafter as he called on the church of God to wake up to the reality on ground by doing the needful as he took his text from Roman 12 to buttress his point.
He told the congratulation that, “Electoral process does not start from the general elections. Electoral process starts from the registration to vote with INEC. You can determine a process which it’s outcome will affect you adversely if you are not careful.”
He advised the people of God to stop complaining but take charge of the entire Electoral process by first of all registering to voted and be persons who could also be voted for come 2023 ” The way you envisioned your life to be, so it will be . God’s children are voters and could be voted for. If you do not registered, you are working towards political suicide and doom. If we do not register, we are in trouble. With this card, we can be in charge of who become elected” He concluded.
Highpoints of the event was the award of good governance, on the Governor, Senator Dr Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa, other Deltans who who have made their state proud, political sensitization of the CCP members, Prayer conference for the entire country and Delta State in particular on sustainable development and the unveiling of the CCP International Christian news magazine known as the, “TRUEPATH”
The coordinator of CCP Bishop Greatman O Nmalagwu and it’s President Rev. Samuel Bodjor, commended Deltans, the governor and other top government functionaries who attended the event assuring that it will be a continuous prayer for the state and country as a whole.
