As a Gospel crusader,Kuye in his encounter with Editor,Gracious Akintayo,he bares his mind on Christian politics and governance,and other credible issues,Kuye hope that attitude of Christians towards politics should be readdressed. In his own opinion,he said,"it is time Christians should sit on the fence,observing with the aim of complaining,criticizing and condemning;to exercise their right as citizens and be bold to step into the water to walk and see if they will sink or be divinely guided. It is not enough to be part of the crowd hailing and wailing. Because,complainers don’t contribute and if Christian’s kept complaining,things are bad,they should endeavour to be committed and make a difference to improve things for our comfort. The attitude of sitting on the fence is saying,things are impossible with God.
"As citizens,Christians should show high level of commitment and interest in their locality administration and governance by getting involve,make contribution and participate with the accountability spirit,fear of God and consciousness of people’s expectations. They should not compromise their faith,but be prayerful and sensitive in the spirit for direction.
"Christians should use the power and authority of the Word,and citizenship to encourage,enthrone and establish good governance that will positively impact and secure the future of Nigerian society,he advised." [6]
