Anglican Bishops Warn Supreme Court Justices To Reverse Imo State Judgment Or Face God’s Wrath
The Anglican Church Bishops have rejected Supreme Court judgment that nullified Emeka Ihedioha of the People’s Democratic Party as the governor of Imo State and crowned Hope Uzordinma of the All Progressives Congress.
The Bishops, while speaking through the Archbishop of Enugu Province, Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma, said that looking at the administration of Rochas Okorocha, there was no way the people could have voted for Uzordinma.
He described the Supreme Court judgment as ‘wicked and corrupt’, the clergy warned that failure to reverse the decision could attract the wrath of God on the Justices of the Supreme Court.
“I am speaking the minds of most of the Bishops of the Anglican Church that we are very much discontented and very much in disagreement with the kangaroo judgment of the Supreme Court on what has happened in mo State.
We sincerely feel disappointed with the Chief Justice of Nigeria who has not got his facts correct and we feel that that judgment is wicked and corrupt.
And so we are calling on the Supreme Court to reverse their judgment on Imo State before they see the wrath of God.
There is no way Imo State people could have voted for APC with the bad governance of Okorocha for which in the House of Assembly the APC had no single seat during the election.
Hope Uzodinma is my friend. I am not against him but I am against the Supreme Court justices who mutilated the result, judging the case on the total votes that were more than accredited votes, which is absolutely incongruous and very much antithetical to the democratic spirit.
It is, therefore, our prayer that INEC should also be up and doing in their declaration of results and be able to defend whatever they declare in the sight of the Supreme Court." he said
Archbishop Chukwuma has this to say on the role played by Father Mbaka;
“He is politicizing his ministry too much and commercializing his ministry, and that is dangerous to the ministry of the church, and this we totally condemn,” the clergy said
