Implementation of Confab Report will end hate speech, secession calls – Anglican Bishop Borokini

By Dayo Johnson-Akure

THE Bishop of Akure Diocese of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Simeon Oluwole Borokini, says the panacea for hate speech and calls for secession is the implementation of the Report of the 2014 National Conference.

Borokini spoke during the second session of the twelfth synod of the church held in Itaogbolu, Ondo State. The theme of the synod was,”Do not compromise your faith”.

Borokini advised:” The Federal Government should look into the 2014 National Conference Report. From what we read about the Report, the matter of restructuring was one of the things discussed.

“I will like the Federal Government to look into it. It seems that everybody is clamouring for it especially our brothers and sisters in certain parts of this country who feel they have been cheated, and their rights are not given to them.”

Speaking on calls for secession, Borokini said: “One of the reasons for the clamour for secession is restructuring. If this matter of restructuring is looked into, the problem of secession would subside.

“But I don’t support secession. “There are many challenges we are facing right now. Security and economic problems are there. We can’t entertain secession  calls at this time. Let us see how we can improve our economy.”

Lamenting the high rate of crime, he said: “The Federal Government should take our economy seriously because if jobs are provided for the youths, definitely, they would not engage in vice”.
