Kaduna Anglican Bishop charges Nigerians on Unity

The Anglican Bishop Saint Michael’s Cathedral in Kaduna State is calling on all Nigerians to disregard messages of division and instead embrace messages of unity.

Reverend Timothy Yahaya says he is praying for what he describes as a ‘national rebirth’ adding that only unity will move the nation forward.

Addressing other national Issues, Bishop Yahaya criticized those attacking INEC facilities. He further Posited that the best way for Nigeria is to stick to the tenets and good practice of democracy.

On the general elections coming up next month, the Kaduna based Anglican cleric discouraged politicians from vote buying and the electorate from selling their votes.

According to him “Dialogue is the way to go for a peaceful coexistence. The power of gun is limited and that of reasoning is unlimited, may God heal our land and give us God fearing leaders in this election year 2023”.

” What Nigeria needs now is credible candidates who fears God and that will not play a donor die politics or politics of sentiments or regionality.

“Those burning down INEC offices are distractors of our democracy who wants to pull the nation down because burning INEC offices will not fix the nation”

The message by Bishop Yahaya is instructive with Kaduna State at the Centre of the Banditry/Terrorism currently ravaging the North West.
