Stop Taking Your Politics To Churches; Archbishop Kaigama Warns President Jonathan



In recent weeks, President Jonathan has been visiting churches in
Abuja to make political statements...
The Catholic Archbishop of Jos, Ignatius Kaigama, has warned
President Goodluck Jonathan to stopmaking policy pronouncements
in churches. He advised him to go and meet the people in the villages
where they are living in abject poverty and stop using his visit to
churches on Sunday to play politics.
“All we want are politicians who are ready to serve Nigerians.
Nigerians have suffered enough. The politicians that get into
power concentrate their whole energy in helping themselves .
“If I have to meet the governors or the president I wouldn’t have
to hide my disappointment. Our leaders are not giving their best
to the nation.”
Archbishop Kaigama gave the warning while speaking to Rudolf
Okonkwo of SaharaTV over the weekend. He said Nigerian politicians
do not care about the people but engaged in mad pursuit of personal
interest.
Archbishop Kaigama who is the President of the Nigerian Bishops
Conference urged religious leaders to stop telling people in power
what they wanted to hear because of the pittance that they collect
from such men.
