RSG to introduce Ecclesiastical Courts to handle purely Christian Matters

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has announced that the State Government will establish Ecclesiastical Courts to handle Christian matters across the state.

This is as the Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN) Rivers State performed the investiture of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike as the Rivers State "Apostle of Peace " for his commitment to peace and actions that have made Rivers State one of the most peaceful states in the country.

Addressing Christians at the Civic Centre, Port Harcourt on Saturday after his investiture as the "Apostle of Peace " during the Rivers State Peace Campaign organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria, Governor Wike informed that the State Government has already submitted the bill for the creation of the Ecclesiastical Courts to the Rivers State House of Assembly.

He noted that Ecclesiastical Courts will work alongside the Customary Courts to tackle issues directly affecting Christians in their daily lives.

The governor said: "Other states have courts that handle their different religious issues. I want to reiterate that Rivers State is purely a Christian State. Therefore, issues that affect Christians must be tackled in legal ways that promote peace".

He informed that the Rivers State House of Assembly has amended the relevant law that permits the State Government to give grants to churches to improve the facilities in their schools.

Rivers State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Most Rev Isaac Anyanasikike said that the State Peace Campaign is aimed at consolidating the gains of peace in the state.

He lauded Governor Wike for building peace across the state through his successful implementation of the State Amnesty Programme and his support for the security agencies.

Explaining the reason behind the award of the "Apostle of Peace " to Governor Wike, an official of Rivers CAN, Rev Dan Obinna declared that Governor Wike has transformed the state into one of the most peaceful states in the country.

He said though the governor inherited a state where insecurity reigned because the immediate past administration closed the courts for two years, incapacitated the Rivers State House of Assembly and destroyed the traditional rulers council.

He said immediately Governor Wike took over he reinstated the institutions of Government and started the process of empowerment which has improved peace in the state.

Highpoint of the event was the conferment on Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the award of the "Apostle of Peace " by the State Chairman of CAN, Most Rev Isaac Anyanasikike supported by the Methodist Archbishop of Bishop, Most Rev Sunday Agwu, Anglican Bishop of Evo Diocese, Most Rev Innocent Ordu and Pastor Ene Secondus.

If your Religion makes you hate other Religion, then you need another Religion.

There shall be no peace for the ...............

Poor call by CAN

I no fit shout, apostle of peace ki, apostle of peace ni

The Spiritual Arm of PDP has once again made a distasteful decision that will be remembered by decent society as one of the events that mmarked the erosion of the moral authority of religious institutions in the country.

Misplaced priority

No wonder Christianity is constantly mocked. As in Wike apostle of peace. Even the devil will kick against this.

CAN confering Titles.

Whoever is really believing or looking on CAN is on his or her way to getting lost and lost and lost forever.
Yes, CAN is representing christians, But not True Born again Believers.

The present CAN should just contest elections as a political party. It's also of interest that the denominations mentioned in the award ceremony do not include the Catholic Church where he claims to belong

RSG to introduce Ecclesiastical Courts to handle purely Christian Matters

When this same proposal was brought before the NASS, some dimwitted religious bigots said the FG in her bid to justify the implementation of full scale Sharia across the country in furtherance of their "islamisation (whatever that means) agenda" were sponsoring the bill. Now, one of their gods is seen making deliberate move to implement same in his state. Pray tell, what would the fools now have to say to this? I bet some abökis have taken over the Rivers state HoA.

Smh.

Religious Dept of PDP at work.

Well, I don't have any visa for the under listed destinations.

to those who care to travel to the above "countries", please you can do that now.

Politicisation of religion will do nobody any good. We should strive to deemphasize religion in our politics and not encourage it by setting up religious courts and ordaining politicians with religious titles.

This is preposterous. Why do these CAN people like to embarrass us Christians like this? They collect our offerings, they collect our tithes, they sell us to politicians. The same man caught on tape threatening to kill people, the same man telling people to write their wills, the same man telling gatherings that he will beat up Amaechi. Apostle of peace? Iam so ashamed to be a Christian right now.

no piss for the wicked(APC THUGS)

Nawa for CAN, rivers that they kill people just now during election is named most peaceful in Nigeria and the governor given award. I am not surprised, CAN is political.

OlujobaSamuel:
all associations and unions in nigeria na criminals full there, religious oo, academic oo, professional oo, every association in this nation fleece the poor one way or the other

can you now see?

A murderer is now an apostle? Dis is an insult to d christiandom

What nonsense. This is the kind of group bringing all sort of names to Christians

However, there is a difference between Paul De Apostle and Apostle Paul. Check.

So, he can never be more than Apostle Wike if actually the whole bullshit is true.
