Any person resorting to booth capturing or offering money for your vote is not working for the common good of the people.

They are agents of of selfishness and lawlessness.

It's against the law of the land, against our Christian faith and principle.

Polling centres become a place of semi-Armageddon.

God is watching, on which side you stand" .
