| Zusammenfassung: | The social order, justice, and prosperity possible in a nation depend on the kind of leadership and the electioneering processes that produce them. Elections in Nigeria have usually been fraught with irregularities both in concept and practice, such that the electorates' perception is skewed to elect incompetent and failure-bound leaders who were never the best to lead the rest of the nation. This study comparedand contrastedthe historical, political, and religious factors that shaped the perceptions of the Jews in Luke 23:13-25 to prefer a seditionist and slaughterer to a social crusader and saviour. This study used comparative analysis of primary data from the hermeneutical exegesis of Luke 23:13-25 and the secondary data from published works and elections in Nigeria to describe important factors that should guide the electioneering process in developing nations. This study has proven that Christian values can inform perceptions that guide electioneering through which credible leaders can emerge in a democratic nation like Nigeria. |
