Women In Clergy Endorse Jonathan

The re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan received a boost recently when a group of Women in Clergy, threw their weight behind his aspiration by endorsing him for a second term in his office.

The decision of the group, comprising female pastors and other Christian women, was disclosed by its President, Prophetess Nonie Roberson in a statement issued in Abuja.

According to her, the women decided to endorse the president because after seeking the face of God, ‘’we heard Him tell us that President Jonathan is the man for the season,’’ adding that God has not removed the mandate from the president.

Nigerian women in clergy is a faith-based women group that comprises female pastors, pastor’s wives and Reverend Sisters who believe that they have strong and united voice to always stand and defend the truth. The women believe that the nation can only move forward through the prayers of Nigerian women.

It could be recalled that the clergy women have remained very critical of happenings in the country since its inception. They had been at the fore-front of the campaign against incessant bombing of soft targets by the Boko Haram insurgents and had at different points picked up the sponsorship of victims of Bomb blasts.

Speaking on their resolution to endorse Mr. President, Prophetess Robertson said, “We have the mandate of God because we are like watchmen; we have sought the face of God, we have prayed and we are not ashamed to say that the scepter is still in the hands of Jonathan. Though the battle will be fierce, we are not moved by sight or what we see; we are moved by divine direction. Jonathan will come back because Women in Clergy are rooting 100 percent for Jonathan”.
