The Anglican Church has observed that the current Nigeria’s government is pushing her nationals to their deaths.
The church has concluded that with the way governance is going the country is presently dead.
This observation was contained in a press statement meant to brief journalists on activities of the 12th Synod of the church and signed by Prof Nneoyi Egbe of the Calabar Archdeaconry.
Egbe said, “The Nigerian nation is in simple word, DEAD! We use this word deliberately because there is no other way to describe where we are now. Only the dead stay dead.
“Notwithstanding, all the talking, we are still pushing the nation and her people towards total burial.
“The institutions are dead because the establishing laws have been jettisoned, people have pocketed government and institutions. There is no food for the common Nigerian who equally cannot move about freely and easily anymore.”
The church lamented that the laws are not working, the leadership is on inoculation against reality, adding that the national outlook is bleaker than is imagined.
According to the church, there is no sector of the country’s national life that has not been taken over by this scourge of death.
Egbe recalled that a couple of years ago, they had pointed out that Nigeria was living a lie as a nation.
“Today, we reiterate this fact. We as a church have prayed and are still praying for a better country. “
They advocated the destruction of the current federal constitution for “a proper, national and true one.”
The church also called on the authorities to drop what they described as “the surreptitious preference for one religion or tribe over others in the country.”
According to the church, this surreptitious preference has had untold negative impact on the national security.
They called for entrenchment of true federalism, so that federating units control their resources and make contributions to the center.
