LAGOS — Amid economic hardship and insecurity across the country, the Presiding Bishop and Head of Mission of Gospel Church of Christ (GCC) Worldwide, Bishop Benson Abrifor, has called on Nigerians to use the 2027 general elections to chart a new course for the country.
Abrifor said Nigeria needed a “Messiah” — a leader capable of transforming the country and rescuing it from its current challenges.
The cleric spoke during the church’s 2026 national convention held at its headquarters in Awodi Ora Estate, Apapa, Lagos.
He said the present socio-economic situation was not what Nigerians bargained for when they voted in the 2023 elections, stressing the need for a positive change in the orientation and conduct of both leaders and citizens.
