In Christianity in Nigerian Politics: Overcoming the Storm , Dr. Ikechukwu Gregory Ugwu, a luminary in the Charismatic Renewal Ministries (CRM), rallies Nigerian Christians to brave the tempest of politics and forge Shalom —peace, prosperity, and wholeness. Nigeria, rich in oil, grapples with poverty, battered by storms of godfatherism, religious intolerance, corruption, and violence. Yet, as Jesus navigated the stormy sea (Mark 4:35), believers are called to rise as salt and light (Matthew 5:13–16). Led by Dr. Ugwu and The Nations Prayer Watch Initiative, this book unveils divine truths to set the church free (John 8:32), empowering Christians to transform governance. Certified by the West Africa Theological Seminary (WATS), the book draws on interviews with Nigerian church leaders, intellectuals, and politicians, exposing barriers like corruption—Nigeria ranks 145th globally (Transparency International, 2024)—and religious violence, such as the 2025 Benue massacres (TruthNigeria, 2025). Historical divides from colonial legacies and the 1967–1970 Civil War fuel these challenges (Falola, 2018). The book critiques the church’s apathy, shaped by the prosperity gospel’s dominance since the 2000s, and heralds a divine shift toward leadership since 2020 (Kukah, 2015). Supported by the CRM Board—Dr. Ugwu, Pastor Mrs. Udo Ugwu, Dr. Tosin Agbesanwa, Pastor Boniface Igbe, Dr. Bruno Aduo, Dr. Toyin Olu Jacob, Dr. Dipo Eweje, and Engr. Raph Onovo—the book proposes solutions: leadership training rooted in servant leadership (Greenleaf, 1977), godly sponsorship to counter godfatherism (Olarinmoye, 2011), intercessory prayer (1 Timothy 2:1–6), and advocacy to unite believers across divides (Oguntola-Laguda, 2010). These empower Christians to overcome barriers like the 2022 Deborah Samuel lynching (United States Department of State, 2024), fostering godly leaders. Pastor Edwin Chukwuemezie Ezeh’s foreword underscores Dr. Ugwu’s CRM leadership and warns of apathy’s consequences, citing Turkey’s diminished Christian influence. Guided by patron Dr. Cosmas Ilechukwu and mentor Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai, the book envisions a “divine precipitation” of God’s power. A beacon for Nigerian and global Christians, it urges pastors and believers to embrace politics as a divine calling, ensuring societies rejoice under righteous rule (Proverbs 29:2). Join this movement to transform Nigeria and beyond.
