The Primate of the Church of Nigeria , Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba, on Wednesday blamed politicians for allegedly instigating communal clashes in the North.
He also called for true federalism in Nigeria, saying he was not supporting politicised restructuring “because even the politicians who are advocating restructuring have their own agenda.”
Blaming politicians for the problems in the country, including violence, he said, “The entire country is being overwhelmed with insecurity to the point of demonstrations in some part of the country. Am I talking about the sufferings of the Middle-Belt? They instigated communal problems. The Tiv and the Jukun are fighting and it is right now spreading to other tribes that are basically Christians.”
He said, “The situation in which our federalism becomes a federalism in which we come to the centre and grab the reins of power and we grab the reigns of resources of the nation is faulty. We need to rethink how we need to exist as a nation and how we need to use the resources we have to the advantage and good of all.”
