Ahead of the 2023 General Elections, the General Overseer of God’s City International Church (GCIC), Abuja, Pastor Matthew Morakinyo, has said Nigerians cannot afford to ignore Gods’ divine intervention in picking leaders with conscience that would govern the country.
According to him, only God who knows the heart of a man can give Nigeria the required leadership that will heal the land.

Morakinyo said this on Monday, in Abuja, while briefing reporters on its forthcoming Power Touch Night scheduled to hold on Saturday at the Abuja National Stadium.
He also said that the country will overcome the security and economic crises being faced currently, saying God is still interested in Nigeria despite these challenges.
He said, “There is no nation in the land where there are no challenges. No matter the crisis we’ve had in this country, God is still interested in our nation. We thank God for his interest in our nation. I know that God has Nigeria in his plan. He has been good towards this nation, despite all the challenges.
“God is the creator of man, and is the one that knows the mind of man. So, it is better to talk to God who knows man to give us a leader. A self-appointed leader in 2023 is not advised. God will give us a leader of his choice,” he said.
He said the church is one of the leading Pentecostal churches in Abuja which he founded in May 2016.
He said, “Ever since the church started, GCIC has been having an overwhelming number of programs, from the Sunday service which has 4 different services and over 3000 people in attendance to its other powerful weekly programs.
