The Enugu Diocese of the Anglican Communion
has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to throw-in the towel if he can no longer
perform owing to ill health.
The Church is of the opinion that
the situation was affecting the development of the country.
This was part of the decisions
taken by the Church during her 3rd session of the 16th Synod, which held at the
Christ Redemption Church, WTC, Enugu.
In a communiqué issued after the
synod, which was signed by the Archbishop of the Enugu Province and Bishop of
the Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma, Ven. Augustine Orah, the Synod
Secretary and the Registrar, Sir, (Barr) H.B.C Ogboko, the Church said it took
note of “President Muhammadu Buhari’s ill health, which has kept him out of
office for long, thereby impeding the growth of the nation.
“The synod thereby prays God to grant him divine healing. The synod, however, observes that in the event where the President is unable to discharge his duties and or perform the functions of his office owing to ill health, he is enjoined to resign from the office.”
On the quit notice slammed on
Igbos resident in the North, the Church frowned at what it called hate speeches
from the Northern youths and their sponsors against the Igbos, warning that “the
repetition of the pogrom of 1967 whereof the Igbos were massively and brutally
massacred in the Northern Nigeria and calls on the Federal Government to ensure
adequate protection of the lives and properties of Ndi Igbo residing in the
Northern part of Nigeria.”
The Church further expressed sadness that “despite the huge outcry and condemnation of the violent activities of Fulani herdsmen, they are found carrying arms used to attack, kill and maim innocent citizens in various communities across the nation.
“The Synod, therefore, implores the Federal Government to take proactive steps towards checkmating the activities of these Fulani herdsmen.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday“The Synod is deeply dissatisfied that the power situation in the country is degenerating and poor services being rendered by the DISCOS, yet electricity tariff is on the increase.
“The synod calls on the Federal Government to compel the DISCOS, particularly the EEDC to provide customers with prepaid metres and avoid imposition of estimated bills.”
On the war against corruption, although the Church lauded the Federal Government, it urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, “to stop media trials of suspects in their custody and ensure the conclusion of investigations before arraignment and prosecution of alleged offenders.”

You are very very very bias so called pastor, why didn't you loud your voice during Jonathan when former governor of Taraba state Dan Baba suntai loosed his memory and still remains the governor of Taraba state up to the end of his tenure? ????. Is because PMB is Hausa Fulani. Grudges and sentiment will kill you people.
