Religious leaders shouldn't declare support for candidates

Commenting briefly on the matter, a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), member, Tosin Okunawo, submitted that clergymen in the country should stir clear of supporting candidates.

" Religious leaders are not meant to publicly declare their support for any political candidate or mandate their members to vote for a particular candidate. They can only encourage their followers to go out and carry out their civic duty which is to vote and be voted for."
