Bishop Kure who gave the charge in Benin City while addressing members of CAN ahead of the state governorship election said that the forthcoming poll is a critical moment in determining the destiny of Edo State.

“This is the critical moment in determining the destiny of our state, Edo State bearing in mind the very future of this state, the future of our children.

”Once again, we urge all believers in the state to vote for the candidate of their choice and go peacefully.

According to him, CAN is not oblivious of the political issues going on in the state particularly between the two major political parties but called political bigwigs, stakeholders and the good people of the state to take a stand.

“CAN calls on religious leaders and heads of blocs to warn their members against the use of violence that would cost the lives of souls in achieving the aspiration of their candidates as the soul that “killeth” it shall die,” he added.
