In a nation where truth has often been traded for personal gain and political loyalty, a new voice emerges—not with weapons or wealth, but with words that pierce through deception like a double-edged sword. This is the rise of a harbinger of the political gospel, a modern-day prophet armed with discernment, courage, and an unrelenting commitment to justice.
As Nigeria wrestles with institutional decay, ethnic polarisation, and spiritual confusion, this political evangelist issues a call—not just to governance, but to repentance. Not just to campaign promises, but to moral accountability. Drawing from godly wisdom, and Christian teachings, and a burning love for the land, he challenges both rulers and the ruled to repent—not in mosques and churches alone, but in the sacred space of public service.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said—a warning this harbinger echoes with urgency. His message is not anti-government, but anti-deception. Not partisan, but prophetic. Like the ancient seers, he cries in the wilderness of Nigerian politics, calling for a new kind of leadership—one rooted in righteousness, not revenue; in service, not selfishness.
“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate,” warned Bertolt Brecht. “He doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depend on political decisions.” With this truth, the harbinger exposes the cost of civic apathy—a silence that emboldens tyranny.
This movement is not a campaign trail but a revival path. It is a gospel that redefines politics as service and citizens as custodians of justice. It demands that we see votes not just as power but as purpose. That we see public office not as status but as stewardship. That we understand, as Apostle Ayo Babalola once preached, “A man who fears God in secret shall walk in power openly.”
CNN now follows this rising tide of political consciousness surging across Nigeria’s plains—a call to awaken a sleeping electorate, to restore conscience to council chambers, and to remind the nation that truth must govern both the tongue and the throne. For in the end, as John Stuart Mill aptly declared, “The worth of a state in the long run is the worth of the individuals composing it.”
This is no ordinary messenger. This is the harbinger of a political gospel—calling the nation back to its prophetic roots, where the pulpit and the podium are one, and where one question haunts every leader and voter alike:
What shall it profit a man if he gains power, but loses his people?
– Inah Boniface Ocholi writes from Ayah – Igalamela/Odolu LGA, Kogi state.
