CHRISTIAN cleric in Rivers State, Ezuo Simeon Okenna, said the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu Nigeria, Fr. Ejike Mbaka was right to call on President Buhari to resign or be impeached by the National Assembly.

Okenna, who is the General Overseer of Christ the Life Bible Internatio­nal Church ( CTLBIC), said Nigerians are suffering and people are passing through hard times occasioned by poverty and insecurity in the country.

In related news, the president has been admonished to be receptive to criticisms from Nigerians over the challenges bedeviling the nation and ensure that attention is given to the concerns raised. Lecturer at the Osun State Polytechni­c, Iree and the Chief Imam of the institutio­n, Alhaji Musbaudeen Orimadegun gave this charge yesterday in Osogbo at the 2021 edition of Ramadan lecture organised by the Osun State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalist­s ( NUJ).

Catholic Bishop of Bauchi Diocese, Dr. Hilary Nanman Dachelem, has said that Nigeria is sick and something must be done urgently to save her from becoming moribund. Dachelem who stated this in an interview with journalist­s at the Catholic Cathedral Bauchi yesterday, lamented that the country has degenerate­d into a failed state while the leaders refuse to tackle the issues.
