Anglicans Primate urges Tinubu to be sincere with Nigerians over subsidy removal.

The Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, The Most Rev’d Henry Ndukuba has called on President Bola Tinubu to make life easier for Nigerians.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Primate Ndukuba made the call while declaring open, officially, the 14th General Synod of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion.

In his general address, the Primate called on Tinubu to be more committed, sincere and proactive in attending to various issues of governance in the country, rather than invading Niger, a neighbouring country.

The Primate spoke on the theme: “Arise and Build: God’s Mandate For God’s People In A Broken World” at the synod which was held at St. Mark’s Church in Nnewichi, Nnewi.

He addressed many national issues, including the petrol subsidy removal, security, need for a new Nigerian constitution, economy, health, rule of law, among others.

He asked the President to be more intentional and proactive in piloting the affairs of the nation.

“Nigerians are longing for the birth of a new Nigeria. Give more opportunity to women and young people.

“Nigerians demand a political leadership that will respect the people’s rights and welfare as well as promote equality for all.

“The measures by the federal government to cushion the effects of the petrol subsidy removal are inadequate and unsustainable and therefore need to be improved upon,” the Primate said.

Speaking further, Ndukuba noted that Niger Republic is an extension of the North West, pointing out that any military intervention in that country will stir up emotions.

He suggested that diplomatic solutions should be deployed and not fall into the encouragement of western countries seeking to disrupt the continent.
