“The Church as an Agent of Dialogue and Reconciliation In Our Community In Quest For a Just and Peaceful Social Order.”
His statement reads in part:
”The reason is that the ticket is a political decision taken by the party on the calculation that is their best way to win the election or assure their victory in 2023 general election.
“There is no point telling them not to take such a decision, all you can say is that they will have to accept responsibility for the decision they have taken. I only have one voter’s card and by God’s grace, I will use it. I will definitely not vote for Muslim/Muslim ticket, that is my decision.
