520 |a Politics and electioneering campaigns have created a lot of issues socially, morally, culturally and religiously. It has divided people along ethnic and religious lines and therefore posed a serious threat to corporate co-existence and harmony enjoyed in the Nigerian society. This study comparedthe electioneering campaign strategies of Abimelech in Judges 9: 1-6 and the ones seen in Nigeria. The study employed socio-historical, hermeneutical and comparative methods of research. The result of the findings show that the campaign strategies of both Abimelech and Nigeria are similar, characterized by divisions along ethnic and social lines, lies and propagandas, selfishness and pride, use of political mercenaries and thugs, misappropriation of public funds, violence and bloodshed. This work concluded on the note that the Christianity does not support the use of any of these strategies to win elections and political aspirants should desist from their usage. The study recommended that Christians should participate in electioneering process at every level they are privileged to, but they must continue to practice the tenets of the Christian faith and they should also be agents of socialization in the nation.
