The founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has urged worshippers to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing participation in the electoral process as a civic responsibility.
Speaking during a sermon at Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, Oyedepo said Christians should actively participate in determining who governs the country rather than remaining indifferent to political processes.
He stressed that citizens have a constitutional right to participate in governance through the ballot box, saying: “We are not passers-by in our nations. We are bona fide citizens of the nation, and we have a right to participate in who governs us.” The cleric, however, reiterated the church’s non-partisan stance, noting he had never personally campaigned for political office.
Key Points:
Oyedepo urged Christians to obtain their PVCs and participate in the 2027 elections

The church has millions of members across 144 nations

The call comes as religious leaders increasingly encourage political participation
Oyedepo’s call encourages Christians to participate actively in the 2027 electoral process. The church’s millions of members across Nigeria could have a significant impact on voter turnout and election outcomes.
