Tony Okafor, AwkaThe Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, Anambra State, Most Revd Paulinus Ezeokafor, has asked Nigerians not to vote for politicians above 60 years of age in the 2019 elections. Describing such politicians as a “burden on the growth and development of the country,” the bishop said they ought to have quit active politics at such an age. He insisted that the only way to vote out the wrong people during elections was to be fully involved, such as by obtaining the permanent voter card and casting one’s vote during elections. The bishop condemn Christians who sell their votes for a token, adding that such people should be ready to endure the consequences. He said Christians were entrusted with the responsibility of taking the lead in positive directions, tasking them to eschew nonchalant attitude.
