Niger State Governor Calls for Greater Political Engagement, Says Active Participation Can Strengthen Representation
Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has urged Christians to become more actively involved in politics, saying political participation is key to securing government appointments and ensuring adequate representation.
Bago made the call while encouraging Christians to move beyond prayers and take an active role in political activities, including joining political parties, participating in elections and contributing to political processes.
According to the governor, those seeking appointments and greater representation in government must be willing to participate actively and make meaningful contributions to the political process.
He stressed that political engagement should not be limited to election periods but should be sustained through active involvement in political structures and governance.
The governor’s position has sparked discussions about political participation and equitable representation, with Christian leaders also urging their members to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and become more involved in civic and political activities.
Bago’s message highlights the importance of active political participation in strengthening representation and giving different groups a stronger voice in government and decision-making.
