Crisis Rocks Anglican Church In Abia by Edyfuzi(m): 12:27am On Aug 08, 2018 |
UMUAHIA—SERIOUS crisis is rocking Christ
Church Cathedral, Anglican Communion,
Akwete, Ukwa Diocese in Ukwa East Council
of Abia State, with the parishioners
demanding the removal of the Bishop of the
Diocese, Rt. Rev. Samuel Kelechi Eze for
alleged wrongdoings.
The church members are accusing Bishop
Eze of among other things, marrying two
wives, contrary to the canonical oath of the
Church for clergies and even members of
the church.
Specifically, they alleged that the Bishop in
addition to his legal wife known to them, is
also married to one Miss Gladys
Chinazaekpere Nwosu.
Other allegations border on mal-
administration of the church, as well as not
taking proper care of the priests working
under him in the church.
The matter has degenerated to the extent
that some members of the church petitioned
the head of Anglican Church in Nigeria, the
Primate, The Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh,
against Bishop Eze.
The members have virtually barred the
Bishop from conducting church service or
any programme in the church and want him
to vacate his official residence in Akwete.
Also, the laity of Ukwa Diocese organized a
protest against the Bishop, demanding his
removal from the diocese, saying he was
destroying the church.
Besides the petition, a 3-man delegation of
the Church led by an elder and the 18th
President General of Joint Council of
Knights, Anglican Communion, Chief Okere
Eruba went to the Primate to show the
seriousness of the crisis.
But Bishop Eze has denied all the
allegations, describing them as “trash, borne
out of tribalism and selfish desires.”
Denying the allegations, Bishop Eze in a text
message, said: “This is a matter that the
head of our church, the Primate is handling
and one that could lead to serious litigation.
“Everything they’re talking is trash, borne
out of tribalism and selfish desires and
masterminded by the Archbishop. How can a
bishop marry two wives?” |
