Rev-Nicholas-OkohTHE Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) and Archbishop Metropolitan, Rev. Nicholas Okoh, yesterday warned politicians against actions that can cause Nigeria’s disintegration.

The cleric noted that Nigerian politicians need to avoid actions that tend to support foreigners who expect the country to fall apart.

Rev. Okoh spoke at the Standing Committee meeting of the Bishops’ Conference of the Church holding in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.

The cleric also called for the disbanding of the national body of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

He said the methods the union adopted to press for its demands was immoral.

 

Rev. Okoh accused ASUU of enriching itself.

The cleric cautioned politicians against working for external detractors who he said predicted the disintegration of Nigeria in 2015.

He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure honesty and transparency in its responsibility.

Rev. Okoh said: “INEC should rise above regional, ethnic, religious partisanship and deliver to Nigerians the truth, the whole truth and nothing short of that.”

The cleric insisted that despite the ongoing power play, leaders must maintain the unity of the country.

He urged the youths to avoid thuggery and other vices whenever they participate in politics ahead of 2015.

Rev. Okoh said: “We make a sincere appeal to politicians as they plan, disagree, challenge one another and engage in high political manoeuvring, to ensure that the entity called Nigeria is spared from harm.

“We should not walk into the traps of our external detractors who have already predicted a break-up of the country in 2015.

“We appeal to our youths to take part in politics but steer clear of political thuggery. You should not allow yourselves to be used for assassination, arson, kidnapping, maiming, looting, intimidation of opponents.”
