Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN,
South-South zone, Archbishop God-Dowell Avwomakpa has suspended some
bishops in the Niger-Delta region.
Avwomakpa who is also the head of bishops in the Niger/Delta region
suspended the bishops for reportedly wadding into the ongoing power
tussle between the Presidency and the aggrieved seven governors of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He made this known through his media adviser, Ovie Edomi, after a meeting with bishops from the zone.
According to Avwomakpa, “there is nothing wrong with clergymen
initiating or brokering peace between two factions but for some bishops
to do so in the name of a body that l head and other executives were not
consulted gives a wrong signal and suggests a dangerous trend in the
body of Christ. It means there are people with political interest or
ambition in our fold. lt also means that we have clergymen who join
different Christian groups or forums with selfish interest.”
The cleric added that the situation in Nigeria needs urgent prayers
and intervention but clerics must not allow themselves to be used by
politicians.
