Abia Bishop Makes Case For Buhari by dpete1: 4:53pm On Sep 21, 2015 |
Against popular notion, the catholic
bishop of Awka diocese, Most Rev.
Paulinus Ezeokafor, has said there
is nothing wrong with President
Buhari’s choices of people he
recently appointed.The Punch reports that the reverend,
yesterday, Sunday, September 21, said
this at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral in
Awka. He further went ahead to say that the
president needs to be given chances
to prove his worth as a leader who
knows how to get the best with the
right people. He said he disagreed
with some people who viewed the recent appointments as being
lopsided.The Punch reports that the reverend,

right people. He said he disagreed
with some people who viewed the recent appointments as being
lopsided..“Every leader is at liberty to choose
those who will work closely with him.
The President at this level of
appointments has not offended
anybody. He ought to have that
conducive environment to operate; and one sure way to do that is by
appointing those he is comfortable
with,” the bishop said. He however went further to urge the
president to be fair in his next
appointments. He said: “Nigeria is a diverse country and
needs the inputs of all its ethnic and
religious makeup to succeed. Let’s
give him the benefit of doubt that he
will balance the appointments with his
ministerial appointments. I will appeal to Mr. President to uphold the
principles of federal character in future
appointments. No pluralistic society
can survive with lopsidedness in
appointments.”The cleric advised all Igbo politicians
to desist from being selfish. “Avoid pursuing individual honours
and work for the greater good of the
people. The people of the South-East
should go beyond political
appointments and individual pursuits
and focused more on collective welfare of the people. Whether you
are a senator, House of Representative
member or even a minister, you are
there to serve the people and not to
enrich yourself and immediate
families.”[b]Against popular notion, the catholic

That's the kind religious leader we need in this country, one who is not afraid to express the bitter truth even though he knows it's an unpopular truth among his people. |
