PRESIDENT Jonathan on Saturday congratulated the Bishop of Durham, Right Reverend Justin Welby, on his appointment as the Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the Anglican Communion worldwide.
In a congratulatory letter to Bishop Welby, Jonathan said he was confident that, with his “inspiring antecedents,” he would achieve “astounding success” in his new assignment.
Speaking in the same vein, the Bishop of Kaduna Diocese of Anglican Communion, Dr. Josiah Idowu-Fearon, said with his background in resolving the insecurity problems posed by Islamic militant sect, Boko Haram, Welby is equipped to bring peace to all parts of the world.
The Archbishop of Canterbury was recently in Nigeria as part of efforts to end the Niger-Delta debacle, Jos crisis, Kaduna violence and Boko Haram insurgency. With this background, Idowu-Fearon believes his new position would serve as added advantage to further promote peace not in Nigeria, but Africa and the rest of the world.
Idowu-Fearon, who spoke in an interview with The Guardian on the appointment of the Archbishop of Canterbury, pointed out that Webly has contributed immensely to the Federal Government’s struggle to bring an end to violence in the Niger Delta and Kaduna.
