Press Confrence – JDPC AGM
The Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) has urged Nigerians to reject political apathy and elect credible, competent leaders regardless of religion or ethnicity.
Rev. Fr. Michael Banjo, CSN Secretary-General, made the call on Friday in Abuja at the close of the 2026 Annual General Meeting of the Justice Development and Peace Commission (JDPC).
The meeting, organised by the Department of Church and Society, had the theme: “Towards the 2027 General Elections: The Imperatives of JDPC Participation and Civic Engagement.”
Banjo urged Nigerians to prioritise leaders committed to the common good, competence and integrity instead of ethnic and religious considerations.
“We are not here to tell you to vote or not vote for a particular person, but to emphasise that we must avoid the politics of ethnicity and religion.
