He accused the government, police, army, and other security agencies of reacting only when the attackers are harmed, but staying silent when innocent Christians are killed. He said this is unfair and called it “pure provocation.” The bishop warned that Nigeria is heading into darkness if these issues are not addressed. He told the government officials to stop giving empty Easter greetings and start doing their jobs to protect the people. He added that both Christians and all Nigerians must learn to act differently.
“Who knows how many Christians have been killed in this country because they are Christians, some right inside the church? ‘Many of them will go online in television and their official handles, social media handles to wish Nigerians, especially Christians, Happy Easter.” “Oga, keep your wish. Don’t wish me happy Easter. Protect my life. Don’t wish me happy Easter. Do your job. Because this cloud that is gathering, this darkness that is gathering, if it is allowed, to extinguish the light of faith of Christians this country will be launched into total darkness. And successive governments that have stood idly by and watched while this is happening should only blame themselves and not any other person, If anything like that happens,” he said.
