As the nation warms up for the 2023 general election, a cleric, Revd Dr Mereh Wariri, has disclosed that God wants to use a woman to lift the nation from the economic woes, insecurity and social degradation that had bedeviled the country for the past years.

Revd Dr Wariri is the General Overseer of The Christ’s Redeemed Evangelical Mission, (CREM), Ughelli in Delta State.

While speaking to newsmen on Tuesday in his office on the election and the economic situation of the nation, he said God revealed to him that He was interested in using a woman to save the nation from the challenges but the women had not shown interest in the election and in the office of the president.

According to Wariri, he was praying for the 2023 election to know who amongst the many presidential aspirants jostling for the office of the president of the nation would eventually emerge as the president, but to his surprise, instead of being shown a man, he was asked to deliver a message to the women folks in Nigeria.

He said that God wants to use one of them as the next president and that they should present themselves to contest for the office of the president.

The general overseer urged women in Nigeria to rise up to contest for the office of the president of the nation and not drawback, just as he added that he was neither a prophet nor a politician but was only sent by God to deliver the message to women.

He charged Nigerian women to do away with their apolitical stance and apathy towards election, saying that God was interested in a female president for the country. (Credit, excluding headline: Delta State News Bulletin)
