The Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province (Anglican Communion), Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma on Saturday told the Acting President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo that there is no vacancy in Enugu State Government House. 

The outspoken Archbishop said the people of Enugu State are at home and happy with the good works and uncommon leadership style of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who he described as “a non-discriminating" politician. 

Speaking during the 30th National Biennial Conference of the Student Christian Movement (SCM) of Nigeria held in Enugu, which had in attendance the Acting President and Gov. Ugwuanyi, among other dignitaries, Archbishop Chukwuma appreciated the governor "for his support and concern for the people of Enugu State, especially these children". 

He said: "Mr. Acting President, Enugu State is in the hands of God. Ugwuanyi is not a governor that discriminates against anybody and so no vacancy in Enugu Government House, because Enugu State is in the hands of God". 

The Archbishop disclosed that Gov. Ugwuanyi's cordial relationship with leaders of other political parties was because he always "gives respect to whom respect is due", stressing that "Enugu Governor respects elders".  

Dr. Chukwuma, who expressed gratitude to God for the successful hosting of the conference in Enugu, with the theme: "A Highway of Holiness", equally applauded Prof. Osinbajo for his presence to address the youths on morality and values despite his tight schedule. 

He stated that the Acting President's presence at the event was because of his passion and love for the Student Christian Movement (SCM), an organization, which he said was established for the spiritual development of the youth aimed at securing their future as better citizens.  

The Acting President in his speech enjoined Nigerian youths to rise up to the challenges of leadership, describing them as “the most vibrant" segment of the population.

He declared that the youth should consider themselves as the leaders of today, not of the future as generally assumed, pointing out that "60 percent of our population is made up of young people"

Earlier in his address, the National President of the Association, Rev. Eric Ighalo, who thanked Acting President Osinbajo, Gov. Ugwuanyi and Archbishop Chukwuma, for their support and active participation in the event, noted that it was a historic outing "for the Nigerian Youth and for Nigerian Christian students in particular". 

Highlighting the achievements and contributions of the association to national development and attitudinal change among students, the National President, commended Gov. Ugwuanyi for "his transformation of Enugu State", describing him as "the most humane"  governor. 

"He (Ugwuanyi) has continued to match words with action - even within the very tight funding of the state", Rev. Ighalo stated. 

Gov. Ugwuanyi, while welcoming the Acting President and other dignitaries to the state, thanked the National Executive of the SCMN for the honour in holding "this historic conference in Enugu". 

The governor added that "it goes to underscore the fact that Enugu State is indeed in the hands of God" 

He lauded the association "for the remarkable progress it has continued to make in the prosecution of its mission of working for the acceptance of the Lordship of Jesus Christ by youths especially those in our educational institutions”

The governor further commended the body for its role in “seeking to enthrone righteous leadership both in the Church and in the society by exposing the youth to the influence of the power of God through purposeful leadership training and discipleship". #amokelouis

These clerics should learn when to seperate politics from Religion. They are just goofing around by supporting one candidate to another. I don't care if Ugwuanyi is doing well or not. It doesn't mean someone cannot do better than him or even improve on what he's doing if voted in. Is only in Africa our politicians are praised for doing the jobs they are voted to do.

That is power of money ;pastor turns to spokesman

This is not a bishop

This people should stay away from active politics

defection loading!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you ArchBishop.

Tell the terrorist that the better South is Holy Ground.

Reasonable people agree that Buhari and Osibanjo are terrorists! Stupid pigs think Osibanjo is smart

The other South can remain with the North. Not like they have a choice.

Igbo Amaka!!!

The cleric should have steered clear of political issues, it's murky waters





But the APC could do more than that in their territory with their supporters littering this forum like it's an achievement




Serves them right.

Bishop chukwuma should know words to use.

.

Men of God should not be sympathetic to one political party.
Neutrality is the key.

Give caesar what belongs to Caesar and give God what belongs to God .

Bishop Chukwuma will not talk about the people of Amechi Gburugburu killed to take their lands,

Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is a killer & crook, He will die before his 2nd tenure if he doesn't leave our land for us,

Bishop Chukwuma should stick to scamming his congregation, Animal.

No space for APC in SOUTHERN NIGERIA, NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTH EAST

Merimental:

Better Than Muric Filled With Terrorists Advancing For Islamic State

The clerics or kings must be neutral on politics because supporting one Politician against others will reducle their office before the majority of the populace.

That is d Igbo spirit - egalitarianism! man is equal to man. We tell it to your face no matter whose ox is gored.
