阿布贾——随着尼日利亚临近2027年大选，尼日利亚的主教们正加紧呼吁信众不要保持冷漠，而是要积极参与选举过程。\n\n尼日尔州尼日利亚基督教协会（CAN）主席、孔塔戈拉教区主教道于·约哈纳（Bishop Dauwa Yohanna）于8月10日表示：“当我们对重要的事情保持沉默时，我们的生命就开始走向终结。政治不关乎某个人。我呼吁各个群体以及每一位基督徒参与政治生活。”\n\n约哈纳主教在米纳对记者发表讲话时，敦促基督徒获取选民证，积极参与政治生活，并投票给他们心仪的候选人。约哈纳主教警告那些打算通过不投票来表达抗议的人：“不投票根本不是抗议。这是投降，显然是一种失败主义的心态。如果你不投票，你就失去了抱怨的权利。”\n\n在此之前，尼日利亚天主教主教团（CBCN）主席、卡杜纳教区主教马修·曼-奥索·恩达戈索（Monsignor Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso）发表声明警告称：“我们再次接近国家历史上的另一个决定性时期，或许也是最具决定性的时期：2027年大选。”\n\n他说：“这一次，利害关系比以往任何时候都重大。”\n\n“我们已经到了这样一个地步：糟糕的领导力意味着忽视、缺乏问责、经济下滑、宗教紧张、不安全、绑架以及不必要的生命损失。我们几乎到了崩溃的边缘。”CBCN主席警告说：“我们再也承受不起让局势进一步恶化的后果了。”\n\n恩达戈索主教还对尼日利亚人对选举过程的疏离感日益加剧表示担忧。卡杜纳总主教援引尼日利亚独立国家选举委员会（INEC）发布的2023年总统选举数据，指出了“日益加剧的政治冷漠”。“在一个拥有约2.5亿人口的国家里，只有93,469,008名登记选民，占尼日利亚人口的37.39%，其中只有87,209,007人领取了选民证。”\n\nCBCN主席强调：“更令人担忧的是：2023年总统选举的认证选民人数为25,286,616人。如果最终结果可靠，全体进步党（APC）候选人以8,794,726票获胜。这意味着这个非洲人口最多国家的总统是由9.41%的登记选民和3.52%的人口选出的。”

Abuja — As Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, Nigerian Bishops are stepping up their appeals to the faithful not to remain apathetic, but to take an active part in the electoral process.

"Our lives begin to end when we remain silent about the things that matter. Politics is not about one individual. I call on groups and every Christian to participate in political life," said Bishop Dauwa Yohanna of Kontagora, Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Niger State, on August 10.

Speaking to journalists in Minna, Bishop Yohanna urged Christians to obtain their voter cards, take an active part in political life and vote for the candidates of their choice. "Not voting at all is not a protest. It is surrender, which is obviously a defeatist mentality. If you do not vote, you lose the right to complain," Bishop Yohanna warned those who intend to stay away from the polls as a form of protest.

Earlier, the President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), Monsignor Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso of Kaduna, issued a statement warning: "Once again, we are approaching the threshold of another decisive period, perhaps the most decisive, in the history of our nation: the 2027 elections."

"This time, the stakes are higher than usual," he said. "We have already reached a point where poor leadership translates into neglect, lack of accountability, economic decline, religious tensions, insecurity, kidnappings and needless loss of life. We are almost at breaking point." "We cannot afford to make our situation even worse," the CBCN President warned.

Monsignor Ndagoso also expressed concern over the growing disengagement of Nigerians from the electoral process. Citing statistics on the 2023 presidential election released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Archbishop of Kaduna pointed to "growing political apathy". "In a nation of about 250 million people, there were only 93,469,008 registered voters, representing 37.39% of Nigerians, and only 87,209,007 collected their voter cards."

"Even more worrying: the accredited voters for the 2023 presidential election numbered 25,286,616. If the final results are reliable, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won with 8,794,726 votes. This means that the President of Africa's most populous nation was chosen by 9.41% of registered voters and 3.52% of the population," the CBCN President stressed.
