Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church, has called on his congregation to secure their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in preparation for Nigeria's 2027 general elections. Delivering a sermon at Canaan Land in Ota, Ogun state, Oyedepo stressed that obtaining the PVC is a fundamental civic duty.
He asserted that possessing a PVC empowers citizens to choose their leaders and influence the nation's direction. "We have a right to determine who rules us and this church, with the millions we are, has a say in it, so be part of it," Oyedepo declared during the service titled 'Breaking the Curses of Life'.
The cleric reminded worshippers that their votes hold significant weight and urged them to prepare early, rather than waiting until the election season. He emphasized that political leadership directly impacts national destiny, and believers should not remain passive when opportunities arise to select leaders.
Oyedepo further clarified that spiritual authority does not negate the importance of civic engagement. He encouraged Christians to balance their prayers with active participation in democratic processes, viewing their PVCs as essential tools for change and national transformation.
We have a right to determine who rules us and this church, with the millions we are, has a say in it, so be part of it.
