He said: “The 2019 general elections are coming and if Nigerians want good governance in Nigeria and Rivers state, then they have to participate fully.
“Nigerians should not just rely only on prayers, but should use their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) to elect good leaders."
Addressing the congregation, the cleric added: “We should vote for people like the biblical Abraham who is sensitive and faithful.
“Fathers of faith are always separate, faithful and sensitive. They set their own stage, make sacrifices and know when to substitute."
Idoniboye urged Nigerians to put God first in all their endeavours as well as create time in their busy schedules to worship and serve God.
