Over 700 Delta Clerics Back Colleague For Rep Seat

Over 700 pastors and church leaders of the five blocks of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Delta State has threw their weight behind the candidacy of Rev Francis Ejiroghene Waive, an All progressive Party (APC) House of Representative aspirant for Ughelli North, South and Udu Constituency.

Delta State Chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, (PFN) Bishop Kingsley Enakirerhi led other clergymen on a prayer session organized by CAN from the three council areas where they endorsed and offered prayers for the electoral victory of the House of Representative hopeful.

Speaking the event, Bishop Enakirerhi said that Nigeria as a nation is sick and in a dire need of men like  Rev Francis Ejiroghene Waive to heal it.

Speaking on the topic he titled “Behold the Man,” Bishop Enakirerhi said that though he does not belong to any political party, he and his family will vote and support Waive’s aspiration.

According to him, “It’s a sin to see a believer who will defend your faith and you vote against him. I don’t belong to any party, but I will vote for Waive, he has a godly spirit, and will speak up for the Christian faith.

He did it before at Ekpoma as student Union President; I can assure you that he will not fail to defend the Church at the House of Representative if supported by the church, because Nigeria is sick and needs men like Waive to heal it.”

Rev Waive addressing journalists shortly after the event said; “I Am elated, especially when the speaker was given his sermon I was in tears most of the times because many time we do things we think people don’t notice.

“36 years down the line, he is able o pinpoint different things that I have done, that shows integrity pays, so I am humbled and it gives me a feeling of been on duty and not to disappoint the people who has bestrode so much trust on me, so, I am grateful to God and also to the people who see this quality and values me in a generation where the vices are celebrated.

They have tasted me and they believe that am someone that can stand for them, so I amlooking forward to an election that we are going to win with a very sweeping majority because people across political divide will vote for me, and that is what I always tell my party APC, that I bring a value to the party, I bring amass following, that people will vote for us and we are winning this election
