There is a clear connection between politics and religion in Nigeria.
Nigeria is a secular state, every citizen is entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
However, religion has gradually permeated and grown to play a significant determining role in Nigeria’s governance, policymaking, and electoral processes.
Sacrificing merit on the altar of religion is not beneficial to the development of the country.

This assertion was made by the pastor of the Summit Bible Church in Abuja, at it’s annual summit conference, where religious leaders converged to discuss the fullness of God and how Citizens can impact positively on the progress of Nigeria.
At the gathering, Christian leaders, says it is time all Nigerian take responsibility for evolving a desirable country, as nation building does not rest on the shoulders of the leaders alone.
They appealed that the wellbeing of Nigerians should be top priority, and political candidates should refrain from playing the ethnic and religious card.
