O. O. Obu
By Akpan David, Calabar
A spiritual leader, His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu has called on political, religious and other global leaders to jettison every policy or action that brings about segregation, violence and division amongst the human family.
He said these unpalatable policies around the world are cursors to sociopolitical crises in many countries.
Represented by spokesman of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Dr Amah Williams at the news conference announce the 66th anniversary of the March of the Redeemed, an annual event where adherents of the fold first wore white soutanes and marched from No. 8 Eton Street to 26 Mbukpa Road in Calabar.
He called on Nigerian leaders to discharge their duties to their people sincerely to avert situations like the ongoing protests in parts of the country.
He also cautioned the protesting people not to take laws into their hands, citing bible portions that command adherents against disobeying their leaders.
According to him, all the sociopolitical crises plaguing the country are what he called mere police actions, stressing that no crisis will lead to the dismemberment of the country.
He said, “As long as Brotherhood of the Cross and Star remains headquartered in Nigeria, the country would remain united, and any attempts to divide it would fail. The numerous efforts to split the country have been unsuccessful.”
Obu declared that God is watching, and will judge everyone by their actions.
He called for true reconciliation, humility, and a renewed commitment to the values that bind the country.
“Only then can we hope to heal the wounds of division and build a future that reflects the true essence of nationhood”, he said.
