2023: Nigeria now ungovernable, things have fallen apart – Anglican Primate

Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba has described the situation of Nigeria as worrisome.

The church leader spoke in Enugu on Saturday at the Good Shepherd Specialist Hospital, where he commissioned the Ear, Nose and Throat, ENT, Centre of the hospital.

Track News reports that the hospital belongs to the Anglican Diocese of Enugu.

The function is part of the activities lined up for a thanksgiving service by the Archbishop of Enugu Province and Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma who is due for retirement next year.

The Primate said with the 2023 general elections a few weeks away, it was incumbent on the citizens to change the status quo.

“Every Nigerian is aware of something- that things have fallen apart; it is clear that the centre cannot hold, because those leading us politically now have one way or the other compromised the things that needed to be done for their own selfish or sensational interests

“Because of that, Nigeria has become ungovernable in terms of insecurity, hunger, poverty and sorts of things that have gone wrong,” he declared.

While blaming some of the country’s problems on sectionalization of leadership positions, Ndukuba urged politicians to place the interest of the country above self.

He said there could be no peace in the absence of justice.

According to him, “Even in the appointment of those who take care of the different sectors of the economy and all areas of government, look at when we talk of security, when we talk of economy, when we talk of education, when we talk of even water resources, you see the same group of people.

“This is a nation that is multicultural, multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic and multi-religious, yet a group, a section of this nation has hijacked everything
