Clergy Blames Poor Governance On Religion
Former president of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) in Rivers State, Apostle Eugene Ogu has identified religion as one factor that plays negative role in providing good governance in the country. Apostle Ogu who identified the factor in an interview with newsmen at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, called for a true federalism, stating that if Nigeria has true federalism then corruption and other negative vices would be wiped out. The clergyman said for the nation to progress, the country should be truly circular without religious sentiments, nothing that religion accounts for the negative role in governance. The ex-PFN president revealed that Nigeria has hope to progress as a nation but doubts if the present administration could lead the country to the Promised Land. According to him, Nigeria has hope to progress because God exists, and added that the masses have paid their dues in many ways, including sufferings and pains. “The people of Isreal cried to God and God remembered them by sending a messiah, noting that messiah will be sent soon. As we are experiencing in some states like Rivers State, Lagos and Enugu.” “Certainly the present administration is not the regime that will lead us to the promised land because we have a president who said he is honest and sincere, but surrounds himself with sycophants and irresponsible hypocrites. He called for immediate sack of the attorney-general, Mr Michael Aondoaka and the Chief Judge of the federation, Justice Idris Kutigi alleging that the duo are encouraging corrupt practice in the country. Apostle Ogu regretted that at 49, Nigeria has no electricity, no water, food and good roads, stressing that we could only celebrate our lives. He said the country needs revolution and said he sees it coming, if the electoral reform is not done. “I am afraid, the government may be forced-out’, he warned.
