Catholic Bishops reject calls for Nigeria’s break up, cautions Buhari on appointments

Catholic Bishops of Nigerian Conference (CBNC), have cautioned all aggrieved groups not to destroy Nigerian polity in the course of fighting for their interests.

This is contained in a communique signed by Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, President of CBCN, at the closing ceremony of Second Plenary session of CBCN in Akure.

According to the communique, destruction of lives and properties is not the solution to make their grievances known to the government.

“We condemn in totality the vandalism and destruction of oil installations in the Niger Delta region as well as destruction of lives and properties in other regions in the country.

“Government has no excuse not to cater for its citizens and opposition parties should not run down the government but support the advancement of this country.

“We are calling on the Federal Government to tackle the roots of every problem,” Kaigama said.

Kaigama, however, called on the Federal Government to create jobs for the unemployed youths, take steps to revive the economy and diversify it in a productive way.
