Buhari should be careful not to cause second civil war – Bishop Okorafor

The Bishop of Egbu (Anglican Communion) in Owerri North Council Area of Imo State, Right Reverend Geoffrey Okorafor has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop activities that could plunge Nigeria into another civil war.

The Bishop, who expressed concerns over the letter President Buhari sent to the National Assembly prior to his medical follow up in London and the administrative stand of Vice President added that no nation had survived two civil wars without disintegration.

The Bishop was speaking on Monday during a Eucharistic service of confirmation, admission and induction for Umuekwune Parish at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, Umuekwune in Owerri North Council Area of the State.

According to him, “The letter Mr. President sent to National Assembly over his absence on medical ground and his trip to London has a lot of ambiguity. Irrespective of the relevant constitutional provisions. Mr. President cited, the language of the letter was not in consonance with the spirit of the constitution.
“Referring to Mr. Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the Coordinator of Government Affairs is an aberration, alien and not known to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“It is my prayer to God for Buhari to recover quickly so that he can return back to the country and continue with his presidential duties.”
