Religious view on politics As a gospel crusader, Kuye, in his encounter with editor Gracious Akintayo, bares his mind on Christian politics and governance, and other credible issues. Kuye thinks that Christians’ attitude toward politics should be readdressed. 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.
