We can no longer afford to treat politics as a dirty game thereby leaving it to some few people, and yet complain of marginalisation and poor governance. It is the Church that has the solution to the world since Jesus Christ called us the Salt of the Earth and Light of the World.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Governor Lalong recalled how as a governor and Chairman, Northern Governors Forum, he has enjoyed huge support from the Christian leaders within the state and the entire northern region.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed he was aware of the expectations of Christians especially as it concerns their rights, privileges as well as security and safety within the polity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, as we approach 2023 when Nigerians will be making crucial decisions, I challenge you as leaders to guide your members to first be part of the process and also ensure that they do not make decisions based on emotions and other factors that will not add value to their aspirations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has called on the Christian community in Nigeria to participate more in politics, stressing it is not a dirty game as being made to believe.
