From Nigeria-
Fully robed priests of the Anglican Church numbering about 500 this
afternoon stormed the Anambra State Government House protesting what
they described as unprecedented sustained religious bigotry by the Gov
Willie Obiano against non-Catholic faithfuls in the state especially the
Anglicans.
Wearing long faces chanting popular Christian choruses,
intermittently reading from the bible and singing sonorous but heart
touching songs from their denominational Ancient and Modern official
hymn book, the priests carefully and peacefully blocked the main
entrance to the governor’s office and vowed never to quit the scene
until Obiano personally addresses them.
They bore many placards with various inscriptions like, “Religious
politics in Anambra has no end”, ”Governor Obiano give us back our land
and school”, “Bishop Crowder memorial primary school Onitsha belongs to
Anglican Church”, “Bishop Crowder is not government’s property”, “Willie
Obiano leave our property for us.
