Anglican Primate Warns Jonathan's Critics Over Church Gift


From Nigeria-

PRIMATE of All Nigeria (Anglican Communion), the Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, Sunday challenged critics of President Goodluck Jonathan over the renovation of Otuoke Anglican Church by Ghitto Construction Company to remove the log in their eyes first before looking for the specks in another person's, warning them to stop making provocative remarks.

The Primate also in his Easter message, expressed optimism that Nigerians and Nigeria will indeed, rise and conquer the Boko Haram's activities in the country.

Okoh, in an interview with newsmen, shortly after the Easter Service at Cathedral of Advents, Life Camp, Abuja, said those heating up the polity, because of the renovation that could be done by anybody, were not being fair, advising them not to allow their sense of reasoning to be beclouded by such trivial issue, when there were much more serious issues confronting the country.

He said: "It is not an issue, that church, I can renovate it myself, it was already built and the renovation of church can be done by either Ghitto or anybody; people are looking for problem where there is none. The President doesn't have to have a friend to renovate that church, since if anybody volunteered to do it, those people will receive blessing from God.

"Those who are pointing to the renovation of the church, let them search their midst, there are logs in their eyes, not the speck in somebody's eye."
