Anambra:Catholic Church Leaders Disagree Over Choice Of Ngige,Ubah,Obiano. by wengerjay(m): 7:19am On Nov 16, 2013
Attempt by leaders of catholic church in Anambra
State to agree on who the church would support in
today’s decisive election of a new governor in the
state failed as they could not decide whether to ask
their followers to vote for Senator Chris Ngige of the APC, Ifeanyi Ubah of the Labour Party or Willie
Obiano of APGA. The meeting which was said to have been
convened by Archbishop Valerian Okeke of the
Onitsha Archdiocese, ended in fiasco as Nnewi
Diocese were said to have walked away in protest
when they suggested that Ubah should be placed
as their first choice, The suggestion of Nnewi Diocese that Ubah should
be place as first choice was because he is currently
building a cathedral for them at Nnewi but majority
others were said to have preferred Ngige, adding
that he should either be placed as number one
choice or nothing else. However, Archbishop Okeke who presided over
the meeting, was said to have declared both
candidates ‘no victor, not vanquished’ and asked
all to go home and tell everybody to vote for
candidates of their choice. During the meeting, Ngige was said to have
emerged tops on the poll which the church heads
conducted with Ifeanyi Uba trailing second and
Obiano third but the APGA elements tried to
blackmail Ngige by alleging that President Jonathan
doesn’t like Ngige and asked that him (Obiano) be adopted but the blackmail also failed as the
argument split the church leaders with some saying
that even if Ngige should not be preferred it
certainly cannot be Obiano that is unknown.www.vanguardngr.com/2013/11/anambra-catholic-church-leaders-disagree-choice-ngige-ubah-obiano/

What has the Church (the supposedly House of God) got to do with politics?

So much hypocrisy going on...
