The Catholic Bishops Conference
of Nigeria (CBCN) has described as “shameful” the clamour for Nigeria’s
break-up by several pro-Biafra groups.
According to the President of
CBCN, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama, lack of social justice for all in the
country was responsible for all the agitations for break-up of the country.
He stated this while declaring
open the second plenary meeting of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria,
2017 holding at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Cathedral in Jalingo, the
Taraba State capital.
The bishop advocated the
promotion of social justice for ethnic minorities for peace, unity and
development to reign in the country
Kaigama, who is also the
Archbishop of Jos, said “there are shameful calls for break-up of the country
and so much hate speeches going on.
“This is not the way out, the way
out is to correct the level of injustice that has been done to minority ethnic
nationalities in the country.
“There are better options on how
to address the nation’s challenges.”
It could be recalled that three
months ago, the Anglican Bishop of Ibadan Diocese Most Rev. Joseph Akinfenwa,
warned that if Nigeria disintegrates, every region will experience a
setback of 100 years.
