Anglican
Arch-Bishop of Enugu Arch-Diocese, Most Rev Emmanuel Chukwuma has said
the current economic situation in the country has made Nigerians hungry
and angry, stressing that the federal government should address the
problem before it will degenerates further.
Chukwuma also condemned the
postponement of the governorship election in Edo State by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for alleged security
threat, saying that the shift was a big indictment on those handling the
country’s security.
The cleric spoke yesterday at
the funeral service of late Mrs. Janet Elobelu Madu at the Christ Church
Achi, Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, Diocese of Oji River, Enugu
State.
Mrs.Madu who died at 101 years was the mother of Anglican bishop of Oji River diocese, Most Rev Pius Madu.
Pointing at the Enugu State
Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC),Dr. Ben Nwoye, Chukwuma
asked him to pass the message to the APC-led federal government under
President Muhammadu Buhari.
“APC used to be a very effective
medicine for headache in those days. If this APC can’t cure the illness
in Nigeria now, Nigerians will begin to drink codeine. Dr. Nwoye please
pass the message to the APC government in Abuja,” Chukwuma said.
“Change should begin with Mr.
President. Let him pay federal civil servants. Buhari will try and make
the change crusade begin with him by paying workers at month end,” he
said.
On the shifting of the election
in Edo State, he said: “The postponement of the election is a big
indictment on the security of the nation. It shows the security men are
inefficient and cannot control the security situation of the country.”
