“We coincidentally had Vice presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Gov. Ifanyi Okowa of Delta state, and Mr Peter Obi, who came to fellowship with us same day.

“At no point did the National President Bishop Wale Oke, nor fathers of faith of NEC endorse any presidential candidate or political party.

“That has not happen and I believe whatever you have read regarding that issue is junk and fake news,” he stated.

On who to vote in the upcoming election, the bishop urged the Christian body in the country put at over sixty million, to do due diligence, by properly examining the profile of the candidates and vote to their conscience.

“We have not and never would we endorse any political candidate for the 2023 elections.
