Simon Lalong of Plateau has called on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/10\/31\/cleric-urges-can-to-give-direction-to-christians\/\">Christians<\/a> to actively participate in politics to enable them contribute to national development.<\/p>\n<p>The governor made the call in his remarks at the 14th Annual Conference of the Association of Papal Knights and Medalists in Nigeria in Jos.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Dr. Makut Macham, on Friday in Jos, Lalong said that their participation could add value to governance.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the theme of the Conference \u201cFratelli Tutti: Path for Credible Elections for Good Governance in Nigeria\u201d was apt and would provide interface for the discussion on issues on leadership recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the theme would also explore approaches on the delivery of good governance in the country by the political class and bureaucrats.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cMany have suggested and rightly so, that Nigeria\u2019s many challenges stem from poor leadership.<br \/>\n\u201cHowever, a lot of people forget or do not realise that leadership does not begin and end with elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c It starts much earlier and continues afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs someone who has been in politics most of my adult life, I can say without fear of contradiction that leadership recruitment begins with the consciousness of the society on what kind of leadership it desires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c This determines the level of participation or otherwise of the citizens in the process that identifies, adopts and presents candidates for elections\u201d,he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Lalong,many Christian brothers snd sisters prefer to criticise those in government rather than being involved in politics to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Lalong said though the Catholic Church had always encouraged its members\u2019 involvement in politics , a lot still needed to be done, to ensure that more Christians occupy decision-making offices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c That is why I appeal to the Church to continue to create avenues for constant engagements with Christian politicians for proper articulation of its interests and evaluation\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In her remarks, Rt.Hon.Dame Esther Uduehi, National President of the Association of Papal Knights, said that the association comprised of Catholics, who had been honoured by the Church for contributions to the propagation of the gospel. and for positively impacting humanity.<\/p>\n<p>She expressed concern over rising cases of religious intolerance, terrorism and banditry which she said,was not only affecting the economy, but also inhibiting people from practiding their faith.<\/p>\n<p>Sir Joseph Ari,Chairman of the occasion,and Director- General of the Industrial Training Fund, said that the conference was a platform for discourse on how the Church could contribute to the democratic process while also propagating to the gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
