The Bishop of Evangelism and Discipleship, Methodist Church, Nigeria, Rt. Rev. Sunday Onuoha, has declared his intention to contest for a senatorial seat in Abia State.
Onuoha, who will be contesting for the Abia North Senatorial seat under the People’s Democratic Party, seeks to unseat Senator Uche Chukwumerije.
The clergy, who is also chairman, Vision Africa Radio (FM 101), Umuahia, announced his plan late on Wednesday at a fund-raising dinner organised by his friends in Lagos.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria that he was bringing integrity, uprightness, exemplary living and experience to politics.
NAN reports that Onuoha served under former President Olusegun Obasanjo as Special Adviser on Privatisation.
According to Onuoha, God has ordained him to proclaim freedom to Nigerians, hence his decision to go into politics which many perceive as dirty.
“If politics is dirty, it has to be washed. I know that there are clean people who entered into politics and came out clean, and I hope to follow their footsteps,” he said.
