The Bishop of Christian Central Chapel International, CCCI, Bishop Emmah Isong has urged the federal government to adopt the report of the Sovereign National Conference of 2014.
In an interview, Isong who is also the national publicity Secretary of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria said, 'Nigeria needs to go back to the report of the Sovereign National Conference of 2014 where all Nigerians came together to talk about issues like revenue sharing, balance in the region, equity, constitutional change and adopt its resolutions.
According to him, only those in the corridors of power, as well as politicians, are enjoying the dividends of democracy in Nigeria. He said the present democratic system in the nation favours the politicians more. He was worried that, following what they benefit, politicians want to perpetuate themselves in the positions they occupy. The clergyman further pointed out that there has been a deterioration of morality and fear of God in the hearts of the country's leaders.
