Immediate past Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has implored the Christian leaders in the country to pray more for the voters rather than the leaders of the country.
According to him, voting right by the voters will bring good leaders that will pilot the plane of the country in the right direction that is needed.
He also condemned the idea of vote buying that appears to have taken over elections in Nigeria.
Making reference to the APC primary election that was conducted recently, Amaechi said those who collected money to vote during the APC presidential primary are regretting their decision.
He noted that throwing money around to get votes would not solve Nigeria’s problems.
Amaechi also urged men of God to pray for the ordinary Nigerians to enable them elect a president that would solve the country’s problems.
According to Amaechi: “Those who voted at the APC primaries, who are they? They are ordinary Nigerians. The small money they got solved their immediate problem, now they are saying they made a mistake, you are now hearing different things.
“If you are praying for us, pray for the leadership of the country, but also pray for ordinary Nigerians to be able to choose the right president to govern the country.
“Giving money is not the solution to Nigeria’s problem. The solution to Nigeria’s problem is that all of you must all rise.”
During the APC presidential primaries in Abuja, Amaechi was among aspirants defeated by the party’s flagbearer, Bola Tinubu.
The former Rivers State governor came second behind Tinubu who polled the highest number of votes.
