Address starvation, Primate Okoh Urges Buhari
Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Nicholas Okoh, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to act fast and address starvation in the country.
In his presidential address to the Diocese of Abuja Synod, held at Basilica of Grace Gudu, Abuja, primate Okoh said apart from the languishing starvation among the workforce, the pensioners, who are suffering, needed to be remembered too, and commended government for the steps it took in responding to the cries of workers on meager wages.
The cleric also warned leaders against shifting blames to others after being elected into power.
“There is hunger in the land and the federal government should make haste to salvage the deplorable situation. Widespread unemployment in the country should be tackled by the government as a matter of priority.
“Government should expedite action in this direction so that our young people can make meaningful contribution to society and find fulfillment in their fatherland. It will be moral evil for any candidate to gain the confidence of the people, then after being elected into power, instead of improving the lots of the country, to turn round and start to blame past governments,” he said.
