My Govt Will Regulate/reform The Religious Sector For The Good Of The People by Justice4Rivers(op): 4:24pm On May 09, 2021
Over the years, religious activities have contributed to the lost of life, properties and defrauding of our people and we are determined to bring a positive reform and regulation of all religious activities in the state for the peace and development of Rivers people and it’s residents.

We are not restricting anybody from practicing any religion but we will not allow any of such religion to destabilize our state so we will set up a body that will oversee the activities of these religions and prevent public disturbances,fraudulent activities, maltreatment of members/ritual killings in the name of prayer.


The Reform:

We are going to start by probing all the financial activities and corporations between the state government and the various religious organizations over the years to see if there are corrupt cases to answer. We believe these religions leaders are of truth and would give us honest answers when they will be invited by the committee that will be set up in cooperation with the EFCC.

We are also going to look into the activities of these religious organizations to see if they are connected with ritual killings and defrauding of our people.

The Regulation:

We are going to ensure that, religious organizations do not disturb the peace of Rivers people who may not share same faith with them which can lead to crisis if not regulated.

All religious organizations in the state must register with the state government for security reasons.

We are also going to stop the televising/reporting of any religious activities in the state on government owned TV and Radio stations. This is because there are religious broadcasts on Govt owned TV and Radio stations that can eventually lead to crisis as there are Rivers people who have made complains over the years about these broadcasts which some Rivers people see as a threat to their culture and traditions as people.

My government will not be a sectional govt, it will be a govt where the voice of Rivers people will be heard irrespective of their religion, culture, or ethnicity. We want Rivers state to be a state with peace, respect and love amongst it’s residents while carrying out their various activities.


Support Justice4rivers governorship agenda.

Together we move!

Religion isn't a sector. It is a belief people have and practice to relate with their maker. It is when Mr A start using the practice of his religion to obstruct individuals or the public that it becomes a problem.
