BISHOP OF ANGLICAN CHURCH, EGBA DIOCESE URGES PRESIDENT-ELECT TO AVOID OVER-BLOATED CABINET


The Bishop of Anglican Church, Egba Diocese, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Rt. Rev. Emmanuel Adekunle yesterday cautioned the in-coming administration not to fall into the temptation of putting in place an over bloated cabinet, all in the name of giving job to party faithful.

The Cleric who spoke in Abeokuta advised the President-in-waiting, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari to ensure that only competent, honest and hardworking persons with track records are appointed into public offices, if his administration is to make the much expected difference.
In doing this, he suggested, Buhari should look beyond party lines and loyalty in putting his team in place.

He stressed that a situation where a Minister has “An Adviser, Senior Adviser, Personal Assistant and Senior Personal Assistant should never be repeated by this administration, adding “He must bring all those who have dubiously looted the country’s treasury to book”.

The Clergyman who spoke at a Press briefing to highlight activities lined up to mark the 13th Synod of the Diocese reminded Buhari that many Nigerians had explicit confidence in him that he would be able to move the country forward hence “he cannot afford to fail.”
The Synod which holds at the All Souls Anglican Church, Abeokuta between Friday, May 1 and Sunday, May 3 has, as its theme “Commutation: Its Liturgical Implications.”

The Bishop stated, “The new President must reduce the cost of governance by not having an “over bloated” appointees as his predecessors did, he must trim down the size of governance.”
He also suggested that Buhari should run an all inclusive administration by appointing competent, honest and hardworking Nigerians despite their party leanings.

The Cleric challenged Buhari to prove to Nigerians that the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) slogan of “change does not mean change of political party alone but also change in the system.”
Adekunle recalled Buhari’s achievements as Military Head of State and advised him to re-introduce 

“The War Against Indiscipline” (WAI), which forced Nigerians to behave according to the rules at all times during his regime.

The Most. Rev. Professor Adebayo Dada Akinde is a good example of the truism that God

The spiritual head of the Diocese of Lagos Mainland, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), the Most. Rev. Professor Adebayo Dada Akinde is a good example of the truism that God invariably has His way in the affairs of men. What God ordains for each of his children ultimately supersedes all human calculations and disposition. In time, each man and woman whom God created for a specific role must succumb to that, willy-nilly. God rules in the affairs of men and those who understand this truism are the happier for it. Bishop Akinde evidently is. For a man who had distinguished himself so eminently in academics, not many had imagined for him a full time commitment to the service of God. If anyone had told him some 35 years ago that he would some day be the pioneer bishop of the Diocese of Lagos Mainland, he would probably have dismissed it as an empty joke. Having pioneered many projects in the academia, he thought he had had enough of pioneering work. Born in Kaduna, northwest of N...

COMMENDATION SERVICE FOR SIR PAULINUS UMEOKORO AT ST BARNABAS CHURCH OMAGBA, PH 2 ONITSHA, PONTIFICATED BY RT REV DR OWEN C. NWOKOLO...

"...he fought a good fight & finished his race...timely, not untimely...." Rest in peace, "daddy d daddy"!!! Tribute1 From Canon Izu Obiekwe ~ The Only Sir Paulinus of St Barnabas! For the first time and incidentally at the occurrence of Sir Umeokoro's death, we thought of the literal meaning of "Umeokoro" as implying "strength, stamina, vigor, vitality of the youth", and he hailed from "Obodoukwu" which literally implies "the land of the great". Obviously, for those who knew Sir Paulinus closely, these names played out in his life and character .  On our arrival at St Barnabas Parish Omagba Ph 2, Onitsha, as the Vicar in 2008, we met the handsome Sir Paulinus and beautiful Lady Patricia Umeokoro, and both were looking fair in complexion, always walking along and seating down conferring together, in perfect love and unity. Before and as at early 2008, Sir Paulinus was used to seating at the back pews/seats ...
