Catholic Bishop of Pankshin Diocese in Plateau, Most Rev. Michael Gokum has urged the citizens of the country to exercise their franchise in favor of credible candidates in the forthcoming Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections.
According to Michael, the Catholic Church is not siding with any candidate or party, but will always drop its two cents about voting for whoever will give the citizens the democracy they so desperately seek.
His words, “Presidential elections have come and gone, this Saturday we shall also go to the polls to elect our governors and members of the state assemblies.
“I want to urge you to vote only credible persons to fill these positions; persons who will work and deliver on dividends of democracy to us.
“We in the Catholic Church don’t have prefered candidate or party, but we have always advised our members to vote wisely.”
The bishop also begged the Plateau residents to come out in large numbers and vote.
