Christian politicians who have derailed from the ways of Jesus Christ in the cause of their political pursuits have been admonished to retrace their steps and seek the face of God especially as the electioneering period reaches its peak.

The Sapele Chapter chairman of the Christian Council of Nigeria, Rev. P. O. A. Ebonoke gave this charge during the prayer rally for candidates contesting for various political offices organised by the Christian Council of Nigeria in Ebenezer Baptist Church, Sapele in Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State.

Rev. Ebonoke also urged politicians should prayerfully submit themselves and their plans to God who will direct them aright

The prayer rally witnessed a good turnout of Christian politicians including Chief Ighoyota Amori of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Halims Agoda of the All Progressives Congress (APC), both contesting for senate in Delta Central Senatorial District; Chief Monday Igbuya of the PDP and Chief Felix Anirah of the APC, both contesting for the Delta State House of Assembly, Sapele Constituency among others.
