The Anglican Communion in Calabar, Cross River State, has criticized the current ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, which is headed by President Muhammadu Buhari, for being dishonest and callous.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the Bishop of Calabar Diocese, Rev Professor Nneoyi Egbe, stated the Church’s view in a statement in response to the ruling party’s choice of a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket for the upcoming election.

Recall that Kashim Shettima, the former governor of Borno State, was named as Bola Tinubu’s official running mate for the 2023 presidential election on Sunday. Bola Tinubu is the party’s national leader and the APC’s presidential candidate.

Bishop Egbe stated that the Christian community does not and will not allow a ticket between Muslims and Muslims or Christians and Christians during the second session of the eleventh synod of the Anglican diocese.

He contends that since everyone has equal rights, the nation’s authorities must uphold its secularism.

Bishop Egbe further decried the country’s security system, noting that despite security, individuals still cannot freely travel.

“President Muhammadu Buhari and his government is deceitful, and insensitive to the plight of Nigerians and the heightened insecurity and should resign immediately even though it is not in the spirit of Nigerian politicians to do so.

“The government has no moral rectitude. They have disappointed Nigerians. How can they be so insensitive and comfortable with the way things are going in Nigeria in recent times. They are a complete failure and their governance is likened to witchcraft,” the Anglican leader said.

He added: “This government thrives on lies. They said Nigeria is very safe. What a fat lie. There’s security yet people cannot travel freely, sleep, people are kidnapped and outrageous ransoms are paid and people are killed wantonly and government merely sends condolence messages.

“Nigerians have acclimatised to the lies told us for so long that every further step we take is a comedy. Our institutions are built on these lies which is why we cannot fight corruption.”
