From Nigeria-
The Bishop of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Egba Diocese, Revd. Emmanuel Adekunle has urged the Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun to allow his administration has human face.
The cleric spoke against the removal of fuel subsidy which he said would bring untold hardship to the generality of Nigerians. Speaking during the thanksgiving Service to mark the New Year’s Day, in Abeokuta, the state capital, Adekunle also stated that Nigeria as a country needs divine intervention.
His words: ‘’ The impending removal of oil subsidy is a serious concern to all Nigerians because of its multiplier effect on socio-economic life of the people of the country. The hard time is not limited to Nigeria alone, but what I think we require at this time around is divine intervention.’’ Going Biblical, the Bishop noted that all proferred human solutions had failed the country and urged Nigerians to retrace their steps and follow the path of God.
“Nobody appears to have solution to the multi-dimensional problems of the country. Removal of fuel subsidy will definitely bring pains for Nigerians, that is why I think that some policies of government must be reviewed.“We have chased God out of our institutions; we better begin to reverse it. God is asking us to make our city, estate, country haven of God, that’s worship of God must be extorted. We are to manage the crisis arising from removal of fuel subsidy.’’
