Abia Bishop Makes Case For Buhari by dpete1: 4:53pm On Sep 21, 2015
Against popular notion, the catholic bishop of Awka diocese, Most Rev. Paulinus Ezeokafor, has said there is nothing wrong with President Buhari’s choices of people he recently appointed.The Punch reports that the reverend, yesterday, Sunday, September 21, said this at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral in Awka. He further went ahead to say that the president needs to be given chances to prove his worth as a leader who knows how to get the best with the right people. He said he disagreed with some people who viewed the recent appointments as being lopsided.The Punch reports that the reverend, yesterday, Sunday, September 21, said this at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral in Awka. He further went ahead to say that the president needs to be given chances to prove his worth as a leader who knows how to get the best with the right people. He said he disagreed with some people who viewed the recent appointments as being lopsided..“Every leader is at liberty to choose those who will work closely with him. The President at this level of appointments has not offended anybody. He ought to have that conducive environment to operate; and one sure way to do that is by appointing those he is comfortable with,” the bishop said. He however went further to urge the president to be fair in his next appointments. He said: “Nigeria is a diverse country and needs the inputs of all its ethnic and religious makeup to succeed. Let’s give him the benefit of doubt that he will balance the appointments with his ministerial appointments. I will appeal to Mr. President to uphold the principles of federal character in future appointments. No pluralistic society can survive with lopsidedness in appointments.”The cleric advised all Igbo politicians to desist from being selfish. “Avoid pursuing individual honours and work for the greater good of the people. The people of the South-East should go beyond political appointments and individual pursuits and focused more on collective welfare of the people. Whether you are a senator, House of Representative member or even a minister, you are there to serve the people and not to enrich yourself and immediate families.”[b]Against popular notion, the catholic bishop of Awka diocese, Most Rev.

That's the kind religious leader we need in this country, one who is not afraid to express the bitter truth even though he knows it's an unpopular truth among his people.
