A prominent cleric in Nigeria has called on election officials for the 2027 general elections to uphold integrity and resist any attempts at bribery or inducement. Speaking at a congregation in Lagos, Reverend David Oyedepo, the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, emphasized the need for election officials to prioritize national interest over personal gain. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Oyedepo’s call comes amid concerns about the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process in the past. The cleric urged election officials to remember that they hold a critical role in determining the country’s future and that any form of compromise would be detrimental to the nation. The 2027 elections are expected to be a significant milestone in Nigeria’s democratic journey, and maintaining the integrity of the process will be crucial. This call for integrity from Reverend Oyedepo is timely and serves as a reminder to all involved in the electoral process to uphold the trust placed in them by the Nigerian people.
