Rev. Fathers Will Contest Elections If Politicians Fail Again- Cathoilic Bishop by massmediang: 8:43am On Sep 18, 2017

Auxiliary Bishop of Awka Diocese, Jonas Benson Okoye has said that Catholic Priests would begin to contest for political offices if politicians continue to perform as poorly as they are currently doing.

Bishop Okoye said this on Sunday at St. Joseph’s Catholic Parish, Amesi in Anambra State during Homily celebrated to mark the silver jubilee of the Bishop of Ahiara Diocese, Bishop Ebere Okpaleke.

Bishop Okoye said that the performance of politicians at all levels is disappointing, adding that the people are not happy with what elected office holders are doing.

He said that the Catholic community will give the politicians one more chance and if they failed to perform, Rev. Fathers will be prepared to join politics and contest elections.

The Bishop added that once Catholic Priests go into politics, no one else will get the positions until the priests are tired of contesting elections.

Bishop Okoye noted that though the Canon Law guiding the Catholic church says priests should not contest elections, if politicians did not improve their performance, the Church may have to review the Canon Law to make it possible for Rev. Fathers to go into politics.

It's a Welcome development.....
the Bible says "When the righteous rule, the people rejoice....

But I say this also, It's not by having Bishops, Reverend, pastors, pope or whatever in power.

After all there was Rev. Jolly Nyame in Taraba state from 1999-2007 and he was drilled for embezzlement.( I stand to be corrected)

If you don't have the fear of GOD Indeed, when you get there , you will join them.

Oshomole was once a labour fighter, He got to Government, Saw the Largesse in there and switched to something else...

What I know, A generation of leaders are springing up that we kill corruption in this Nation...

GOD BLESS US ALL..

AMEN
