Health challenge: Enugu Anglican Church asks Buhari to resign

By Dennis Agbo

ENUGU— WORRIED by the the health challenges of President Muhammadu Buhari, the Diocese of Enugu Anglican Communion has suggested that President Muhammadu Buhari resigns from office.

While praying for the President’s recovery, the church said it was of the opinion that the president should resign if his ill health could no longer allow him discharge his duties.

It said the president’s ill health had indeed impeded the growth of the nation and urged him to resign from office.

In a communiqué at the end of her 3rd session of the 16th synod at the Christ Redemption Church, Ogui-Nike, the church expressed compassion over the president’s current situation but noted that the development had kept him “away for too long” and enjoined him to resign.

It also expressed worries over the October 1 quit notice on Igbo residents in the north by the Arewa youths and the hate speech from some of their leaders and warned against a repeat of the 1967 pogrom.

The church called on the Federal Government to ensure adequate protection of the lives and property of Ndigbo residing in northern part of Nigeria.

It also urged Ndigbo to refrain from making inflammatory speeches on the development.

The Church further asked the federal government to make public the outcome of the investigations of the special panel headed by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo over the large sums of money recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in a private apartment in Osborne Towers, Ikoyi in Lagos state as well as the arms recovered by the Nigerian Customs.

It commended the federal government on the war against corruption, noting however, that informing Nigerians about the outcome of investigations on the recovered money would further boost their support in the fight.
