Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has charged Christians in Nigeria to be more involved in politics, saying that it would help in developing the nation.
The governor, who spoke at a regional programme of Full Gospel Business Men Fellowship held at the weekend at Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt, said that Christians should no longer be docile on political issues.
He said: “The Church must begin to talk about development, social, political and economic challenges facing the country. The Church must be involved in governance. The time has come for the Church to rise. If you keep quiet and anything happens, even Christ will not be happy. If you talk, you will die. If you don’t talk, you will die one day. So talk for the revival of the country.”
