Lauretta Onochie, a prominent member of the All Progressive Congress (APC), recently expressed her thoughts after viewing a video featuring Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago. In this video, the governor is seen encouraging church attendees to shout “hallelujah” during a church service. Onochie shared the clip on her official X account on Monday, drawing attention to the governor’s remarks
In the video, once Governor Bago ascended the pulpit, he enthusiastically called on the congregation, saying, “Praise the Lord! From this side, can somebody shout hallelujah! Can we shout it loud!” His request seemed to energize the crowd, showcasing the blending of governance and spirituality in a public setting.
Following her post, Lauretta Onochie commented on the implications of the moment, stating, “What politics cannot do, does not exist.” This phrase suggests her belief in the powerful influence of political figures in shaping public sentiment and engagement, particularly in religious contexts. Her statement underlines the significant role that politics plays in the lives of individuals and communities, especially in Nigeria
