2023 presidency: "I'll vote the structureless party," influential northern pastor endorses Peter Obi
With less than a week to the presidential polls, the senior pastor of Family Worship Centre (FWC) Abuja, Pastor Sarah Omakwu, said her vote would go to the structureless party.
She made this remark on Sunday, February 19, at the closing stages of the first service, at the church's headquarters in Abuja, attended by Legit.ng's regional reporter.
In her remark, she noted that Nigeria is at a cross-road, and the 2023 presidential election remains crucial to the future of Nigeria; as such, Nigerians must choose between "life and death" and "blessings and curses."
