Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo: “Register to vote, demand equality"

Submitted 7 Apr 2015 11:59am

Pastor Ashimolowo has been a central figure with the National Church Leaders Forum that has sought to politically empower Black and minority ethnic communities to democratically engage as never before.

Speaking to an estimated live audience of 5000, Ashimolowo said:

It's your duty to register to vote. Please don’t leave Prayer City – his massive church complex - without going on board the OBV eXpress bus and making sure you register to vote. After the service I’ll be on board this wonderful platform to give voice to our people.”

True to his word after a three hour service the head of Prayer City came on board to see for himself Black people getting registered to vote.

On behalf of the NCLF and co-author of their Church manifesto David Muir was in attendance to hand out their manifesto and to support this unique partnership between OBV and the Black Church leadership. The other co-author, Pastor Ade Omooba said in a written statement:

NCLF comprises of African and Caribbean Christian Leaders who realise that the OBV task is a shared responsibility. The Black Church knows all about 'mountain moving faith', but understands that faith without works is dead. We want our voice to be heard through our actions and to be confident that the impact of our influence continues to resonate whatever the future holds after May 7th."

In this election the BME vote could decide over 168 marginal seats.

To see literally thousands of Black people moved by the spirit and empowered by political activism was a great sight to behold.

We hope hundreds of thousands more will follow suit and ensure the power of the Black Vote fulfils its great potential.
