Christian Participation In Politics

This study was carried out to examine Christian participation in politics: A moral concern in contemporary Nigeria using selected Christian men and women from different churches in Port Harcourt, Rivers State as a case study. Specifically, the study was aimed at examing the level of Christian participation in politics considering the moral concerns in contemporary Nigeria, examine the factors limiting Christian participation in politics in Nigeria, and determine the prospects of Christians active participation in politics in Nigeria. The study employed the survey descriptive research design. A total of 200 responses were validated from the survey. From the responses obtained and analysed, the findings revealed that the level of anti-social behaviour portrayed by politician has hindered most Christians from participating in politics. Also, the participation of Christian in politics will really help to reduce the level of corruption in Nigeria. Furthermore, cultural belief and tradition limits Christian participation in politics in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that Christians should endeavor to participate in politics of their Nation and at such will be able to impart the lifestyle of God over the nation. People should not see politics as blight or bad, it should be admitted that politics in any form is not bad but the political players are bad.
