Paul Adefarasin, the senior pastor and founder of the church, House On The Rock has released a statement to deny claims he has endorsed any presidential candidate.
In a statement he signed on Friday, the clergyman said he would never ask people to vote for any particular candidate because he is non-partisan.
Adefarasin, however, urged Nigerians to ensure they vote for the right leader who will see to the country’s growth and development.
He said,
“Friends, in the run-up to the 2023 elections, I implore you not to be swayed by mischievous posts, supposedly from me. I have come across some random and unauthorized communications making the rounds that have been ‘stitched together’ by unscrupulous individuals who are unaware that by virtue of my office, I must remain non-partisan.”

The statement would read further,
“Please note that I will never ask you to cast your vote for a particular candidate. However, I will advise you to be mindful, such that whomever you vote for will set us on our way to a purposeful and prosperous Nigeria.
“We will continue to emphasize the need for a leader with the right values, who will prioritize the development and growth of Nigeria and Nigerians. Someone who not only understands the assignment but can truly get the job done.
Most importantly, remember your voting decision is solely yours to make. I only ask that you do so responsibly.”
