– Bishop Ezeokafor to Isuaniocha Catholics
…Urges them to Use their PVCs to Enthrone Good Governance
By Michael Nnebife
As the buildup of the 2027 General Elections gathers momentum, the Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Rev Paulinus Ezeokafor, has ‎urged the people of God to ignore individuals campaigning against an Igbo man becoming the President of Nigeria, saying that those people are doing so, for their own selfish interest and not for common good.
‎The Bishop stated this while delivering homilies during his visit to Christ the King Parish, Isuaniocha, Awka North LGA, on Sunday November 8, and at the induction ceremony of the new members of the CWO Life Members, on November 7, at St Patrick’s cathedral.
‎The Bishop also expressed dismay over the recent judgement of an Abuja Federal High Court against David Mark-led African Democratic Congress, ADC.
‎’This act is very bad,’ he emphasized, alleging that the act aimed at disorganizing any strong challenger of the ruling party.
‎The Prelate, who admonished the party in power to allow competition thrive in Nigeria’s democracy, also advised the Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, to honourably withdraw from the race. He said that if Atiku’s candidature for the 2027 Presidential Election continued, it would cause confusion in future Presidential Elections, while insisting that the current political dispensation belonged to the South.
He appealed to members of the Catholic Women’s Organization, CWO, of the Diocese, and the parishioners of Christ the king Church, Isuaniocha, in Awka North Local Government Area, Anambra State, to collect their Permanent Voter’s Cards, PVCs, to enable them to vote for a creditable Presidential Candidate for good governance in Nigeria.
‎’The election is fast coming close. Go and get your voters’ cards, keep them well and on the 16th of January, 2027, come out, vote for a creditable Candidate that has the strength and stamina to bring good governance.
‎’After voting, stay at the polling unit to monitor, protect and follow up your vote,’ the Prelate advised the Isuaniocha Catholics and the CWO Life Members, including their families and friends. ‎
