The Nnewi Anglican Bishop has banned the Nigeria’s National Anthem and the hoisting of Nigerian flags in churches under its supervision, saying that the country has no leadership.
His Lordship, Rt. Rev. Ndubuisi Chukwuka Obi announced a ban on the singing of Nigeria’s National Anthem and hoisting of Nigeria flag in Churches in Nnewi Anglican Dioceses.
Anaedo Online reports that the bishop who has been very critical about the need for restructuring of Nigeria, said he suspended the recitation of Nigeria National Anthem in Diocesan events and hosting of Nigeria flag in all the churches in the Diocese, in protest of the maladministration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He explained that there is no leadership in Nigeria, and the country has become a ship with no captain.
“Nigeria has become more divided in President Buhari administration, in every part of Nigeria, there is agitation for either secession or injustice. President Buhari has failed woefully, he has redefined the concept of leadership in Nigeria.
“If you look at the pattern of appointment, a part of Nigeria is always favoured in appointment. What our President runs in Nigeria is government of the Fulani by the Fulani and for the Fulanis.
“People are no longer comfortable being in Nigeria, and the worst of it all is that you cannot even protest or talk against the government, everybody is afraid,” the Bishop said.
He expressed displeasure over the deployment of security agencies especially the army in the East who are subjecting the citizens to inhuman treatment.
The Bishop wondered why security agencies have not been deployed in the north where schoolchildren are kidnapped almost on daily basis.
