Bishop on the Niger, Right Reverend Dr Owen Nwokolo says pursuit of
vain glory and conforming to the standard of the world is a complete
departure from the Biblical standard.
Bishop Nwokolo stated this during his Presidential Address to mark the
second session of the thirty-first synod of the diocese with the theme
“Walk in the Spirit” at Saint Simon’s Church, Nnobi, Idemili South
Council Area.
Bishop Nwokolo regretted that worldly views affect Christians and
prevent them from walking in the truth, admonishing them to crucify
the flesh in other to recapture the essence of walking in the Spirit,
as the church is expected to lead by example.
Speaking on the state of the nation, Bishop Nwokolo commended the
federal government for showing some level of seriousness in the
construction of the Second Niger Bridge after decades of lip service
and urged the government to work towards the time frame of the
project.
He stated that the COVID -19 pandemic exposed the level of decay in
the Nigeria health sector and called for equitable distribution of
relief packages to all sections of the country.
Bishop Nwokolo While calling for completion of construction work on
Onitsha/Enugu express way urged the federal government to diversify
the economy to avoid imminent crash of the country.
He commended Governor Willie Obiano for engendering some paradigm
shift in the state and called on the state government to expedite
action on worn out roads to ease transportation and beef security at
flashpoints like Awada-Obosi, Onitsha, Otuocha among other strategic
areas.
He urged Anambra State government to address communal clashes which he
said is becoming worrisome and also to include Anglican and Catholic
churches in distribution of government COVID-19 relief packages to
ensure even distribution to densely populated areas.
The event was attended by over twelve Anglican Bishops including
Archbishop, Province of the Niger, Most Reverend Alexander Ibezim
among others.
