ABUJA — Ahead of the 2027 general election, President Bola Tinubu has urged Christian leaders to promote peace and responsible participation in the electoral process, warning against the use of the pulpit to incite violence or deepen divisions.
Tinubu made the call on Wednesday in Abuja at the 2026 International Synod of Charismatic Archbishops, Bishops and Apostles, held at the National Christian Centre.
Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume, the President urged the Church to play a greater role in peacebuilding and national security by helping to bridge denominational and religious divides.
He stressed that political contests were temporary, while Nigeria would remain beyond the elections.
