Decry unkept promises of FG on security, corruption, and economic growth

Declare 40 days of prayer for the nation


By Luminous Jannamike

For the umpteenth time, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has expressed their worry over the insecurity ravaging parts of the country.

In the face of this concern, they have declared 40 days of joint prayers against terrorism and banditry.

The Bishops, in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, also decried the pervasive corruption in the land and the nation’s dampening economic outlook.

They, therefore, passed a verdict, saying the Federal Government had failed to keep its core campaign promises of security, corruption eradication, and economic growth.

The statement signed by CBCN President, Archbishop Augustine Obiora, on behalf of all the bishops reads: “We, the members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria have been following the recent events in Nigeria closely.

“We continue to hear of increasing insecurity and unabated acts of terrorism in Northern Nigeria. So, we are all tired of this situation.

“We do not want any politician to politicise the killing of Nigerians. There should be one response from everyone, and that is; the killings must stop.

“Our hearts are bleeding, and we are more troubled when we hear of the massacre presently going on in Southern Kaduna. We want all the people suffering the incessant attacks in Southern Kaduna to know that all Catholics in Nigeria are praying for them.

“We call on the Federal and the Government of Kaduna to bring a complete stop to the killing of innocent people. The loss of the life of any Nigerian does not help to further the agenda of any religious ideology or the ambition of any politician.

“The perpetrators of the killings must be brought to justice. Where there is no justice or justice is not seen to be done, there cannot be peace. Where there is no peace, there cannot be development.

“Any Government, State or Federal that wants peace must work for justice for everyone. There will never be sustained development built upon the bloodshed of innocent people brutally murdered by religious fundamentalists without any recourse to justice for the victims.

“We need not remind Nigerians that the present Federal Government came to power, promising Nigerians, the eradication of corruption, a guarantee of security to life and property, and rapid growth in the economy.

“The creation of jobs, and an enabling environment that engenders growth of the private sector; a significant increase in the supply of electricity to Nigerians, affordable and quality health care to Nigerians, and the revamping of the educational sector were the promises the Government continues to make.

“Many Nigerians, irrespective of political party affiliation, will affirm that these promises have remained a far cry. We strongly appeal to Nigerians to unite together in calling the Federal Government to give priority to these areas of our lives.

“To all Catholics, we request that you join in praying for forty days, starting from 22 August 2020 and ending 30 September 2020, the eve of Nigeria’s Independence Day.

“On Independence Day, let us join in praying to start from 12.noon. We appeal to each Bishop to encourage the faithful in his Diocese to participate fully in this prayer for God to save Nigeria.

“Finally, as we pray, we know that God wants us to do what is humanly possible to ensure that there are prosperity and freedom for every Nigerian.

“Let us not harbour hatred for anyone. We must be instruments of forgiveness and reconciliation. We must be on the part of justice for all and peace in Nigeria.

“May God grant eternal rest to all who have lost their lives to the violence in Northern Nigeria and other parts of the country. May God give us the courage to work for justice and peace in Nigeria.”

Expecting APC zombies to come attacking the catholic Bishops any moment from now, those deranged beasts have no iota of shame

All bark and no bite. We need more than prayers to take this government down

please, bell the cat

Buhari and his minions will never agree. They are always living in a fool's paradise. They are like goats who never look before they leap. They are suffering from incurable delusion.

The insecurity has reached alarming proportions with no end in sight

Are you for real? Expecting religious leaders to ask for anything else other than prayers is like asking a prostitute to offer you anything else other than her body.

Our religious leaders act differently when invited for a government function

next thing is that some people will"come and start insulting them.

Unfortunately.. Buhari will be shocked when he hears the news.

Prayers and fastings are good but instead of declaring 40days of prayers, why not reactivate old Catholic crusade tradition by declaring 40days of training able bodied armed men as Christian Crusaders of old, to counter these invasions, then back it up with prayers.
They are still talking of forgiveness when people die every day, how on earth do they forget the verse in the bible that says eye for an eye?
Isreal whom we all modeled our Christianity from have shown of recent that eye for an eye is the only principle the Islamic animals respect.

Prayers for a country Nigg@ area which God did not ordain is a wasted prayer.

"..Members of the Katsina State House of Assembly have lamented what they termed worsening insecurity situation in the state, saying ...Both President Buhari and Governor Aminu Masari have FAILED in securing the lives and property of Katsina State citizens. Our people are being killed on a daily basis but nothing has been done."

The government keeps living in stark denial of reality because most of its policies helps the insecurity to fester some more.Imagine the audacity of the president's kinsmen.Bandits/BH terrorists are now being given leeway by government.Hence insecurity will thrive uncontrollably.

Father Mbaka will not agree with this. He chose President Buhari over GEJ in 2015 and upwards. Yet in all his prophesies he never saw there will be more banditry in Norrthern Nigeria than anytime in history including killings in Christian Southern Kaduna. See why a pastor should not be political ?

Expects bastards to come defend this failed government.

the zombies say this junta is the best thing to happen to Nigeria since 19 gogoro

if they can carelessly sacrifice people from their own state Katsina and force others to cohabit with their killers then who are we down south to expect logical reasoning from the fg ? An fg that has looked for every damn reason not to bring these terrorists herdsmen to book ? We’re in trouble in this country

Failed woefully.......Capital F9

Buhari failed his wife too, so the name might be synonymous with vegetative doppelganger senile failure

Buhari has a mission and it's clear only hypocrites and religious fanatics still support this evil

his gov. is a very good example for failure

That the president is even a retired general makes the situation pathetic.

Tomorrow they will be invited in Abuja and shake hands with the mask wearer then go back and never speak again

You can say that again

LibertyRep:

Babanah:
