2027 ELECTION: NEVER SELL YOUR CONSCIENCE FOR MONEY, VOTE WHO CAN DELIVER – PASTOR DAVID IBIYEOMIE URGES NIGERIANS
Pastor David Ibiyeomie has urged Nigerians to resist the temptation of selling their votes for money ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning that the short-term benefits of vote-buying cannot outweigh years of poor governance.
Speaking during a Sunday service, the clergyman cautioned: “If any of you collect money to go and vote, and are saying it’s money I will chop? The money you get before is only for one week. What are the rest of the four years? Never sell your conscience for money.”
He advised citizens to prioritize competence over political parties, stressing: “Don’t vote party, vote who can deliver.”
Ibiyeomie also called on Nigerians to stand against oppression and defend the truth, reminding them of the power of collective action: “When masses say no, nobody stands.”
Beyond voters, he challenged members of the judiciary to uphold integrity and leave behind a positive legacy. He criticized religious leaders who publicly support politicians they know are incapable of delivering good governance, saying: “Don’t pray for a man who cannot deliver. Pray for somebody who has conscience.”
