The Methodist Church
Nigeria, Diocese of Port Harcourt has advised politicians who are seeking for different political positions to eschew politics of acrimony, rancour and bitterness.
This is contained in a communiqué after its 34th Diocesan Synod held at Methodist Church Oyigbo Circuit in Rivers State and signed by the Archbishop of the church, His Grace, Most Rev. Chimezuo Nwankpa.
The synod with the theme: A Glow With The Spirit called on politicians to be magnanimous enough in victory to run all inclusive government and urged losers to accept the result of the election in good faith.
According to the communiqué, the only way to live in peace and harmony is to tolerate one another and respect the freedom of association and religion.
“Christians should pray for the nation, so that there will be no war in or after the forthcoming general elections. God should tackle the problem of insecurity, unemployment and epileptic power supply.”
Archbishop Nwanpka in the communiqué also commended the development strides of the governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, saying that the governor’s health and education programmes are highly commendable.
He used the forum to appeal to the governor to take necessary steps to resolve the crisis rocking the state judiciary adding that the closure of courts is adversely affecting the entire people living in the State.
“As Church we appreciate the effort of the Armed Forces in tackling the isurgency in the North-East.
