2023 Polls: Cleric Urges Buhari To Address Insecurity

An Anglican cleric, and the Bishop of the Kiama Diocese of the Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev. Godwin Angwari, has said as the 2023 polls draw nearer, the future of Nigeria is at stake.
He, therefore called on President Mohammadu Buhari to address the insecurity problems in the country ahead of the 2023 election in order to guarantee safety, credible, and peaceful polls.
He also called on the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government to ensure that the coming election is conducted freely and peacefully, and that people should be allowed to vote freely the candidate of their choice.
Bishop Angwari, who made this known while speaking to Aviation correspondents shortly on arrival at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, weekend, noted that the issue of vote buying, rigging, destroying of INEC properties are very unfortunate to the country.
“The future of Nigeria is at stake. We are in trouble because of corruption, insecurity and killings are at alarming rate.
“The security personnel should not take side in discharging their duties, and if we claim to be giant of Africa, then we should prove to the world that we are giant in everything”, he said.
On the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC, the clergy said it is unfortunate, as they did not show fairness to Christians, knowing that Nigeria is not an Islamic State, adding that such move was purely an Islamization agenda.
According to the Kiama Diocese Bishop, who was returning from a conference of Bishops, they (Bishops) “really prayed to God for peace to reign in the country”, and urged every one to take advantage of it to do what is right.
He, therefore, urged all christains to go all out to vote, noting that the era of ‘take the world and give me Jesus is over’.
He further called on President Buhari to “stop the Islamization agenda”, noting that Nigeria from historical record was a Christian State, before the Muslims came in, after they were allowed to stay.
“I call on Christians in Nigeria to cast their votes wisely, because the attempt to introduce Islamic agenda on the multifaceted Nigerian State is very unfortunate”, he said.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
