 A former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, has advised Nigerian Christians not to sit on the fence but to participate in politics in order to elect credible leaders that will guarantee the welfare and security of citizens.

The former Senate President gave this advice on Thursday, at the 48th/13th biennial conference of the Methodist Church Nigeria in Abuja.

Mark said the old assumption that the church should not get involved in politics remains a critical issue for debate in light of the country’s realities.

He said, “A lot of Christians believe that politics is a dirty game, but if politics is truly dirty, Christians should get involved to sanitise and clean it up to serve the purpose for the good of all.
