Anglican faithful in Anambra State threatened
yesterday not to support President Goodluck
Jonathan’s re-election bid.
They urged him to tell Governor Willie Obiano to
intervene in “the systematic religious war
against the Anglican Communion.”
The threat was made, following a protest by the
churches, which rocked Onitsha over the
demolition of Ebenezer Anglican Church, Oze in
Oyi Local Government.
The Anglicans protested the alleged demolition
of their church by unknown people in Nkwelle
Ezunaka community.
Human traffic was brought to a standstill, as
Anglican faithful from parishes in the Diocese on
Niger protested the demolition of their church
by unknown persons.
They carried placards and sang, to express their
grievances.
The protesters blocked the roads leading to
Onitsha for hours. Some of the placards read:
“Rebuild our church now”, “Governor Obiano,
intervene in this matter and arrest the
perpetrators of this evil act”.
Speaking on behalf of the Diocese on the Niger,
Rev. I.k. Egbeonu accused the government of
conspiracy.
He said the school compound housing the
demolished church was among the schools
handed over to the church by former Governor
Peter Obi.
Egbeonu added that the statement credited to
the President-General of Nkwelle Ezeunaka
Community, Chris Eluemuno, that the church
took over the school by force, was untrue.
The cleric accused Obiano of allowing himself to
be used as a machinery of religious war.
He said: “We have watched with interest the
appointments made by the government and we
understand that in every 30 appointments, 25
are Roman Catholics, while Anglican and
Pentecostal churches share the rest.
“For instance, in this school, of the 30 teachers
posted by the government, 25 are Roman
Catholics.
“We urge government to rebuild our church. We
also enjoin President Goodluck Jonathan to
intervene in this matter or it will affect his 2015
presidential ambition because Anglicans form
almost half of the voters in the country.
“This is a church project that has cost over N30
million. The money was contributed by widows,
orphans and the less privileged, only for some
people to connive with some agents of the devil
to demolish it.”
The Chancellor of the Diocese on the Niger,
Nnamdi Ibegbu (SAN), decried the action and
said the diocese would seek legal action.
He appealed to Anglican faithful to be calm.
One of the worshipers at Ebenezer Anglican
Church, Oyolu, Oze-3-3, Mr. Emma Ibeneme, said
they were shocked when they discovered on
Monday that their church had been demolished
by unknown people.
Eluemuno said the community did not demolish
the church.
The man, a delegate to the National Conference,
who is also the president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in
the state, said the matter was being handled by
the law enforcement agents.
