Bernard Odoh, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate in Ebonyi, has described the church as the only hope for humanity while seeking credible leadership.

Mr Odoh spoke on Sunday in Abakaliki at the fourth-anniversary celebration of the City of Grace Royal Assembly Church.

The governorship candidate, represented by Mmachi Sylvester, chief protocol officer of Mr Odoh’s campaign team, said the house of worship was the only place that has not failed the human race.

According to him, judgments could be perverted and twisted elsewhere “but not in the synagogue.”

He added, “The church is the only hope for humanity and a just place that has not failed mankind.”

He commended the general overseer and prophet of the church, Jeremiah Okoye, for his achievements and called on the people to vote according to their conscience.

Mr Okoye called on the Christian faithful and the public to get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) in preparation for the 2023 general elections.

He said the PVC was the people’s power to elect credible leaders.
