ANGLICAN ARCHBISHOP RESPONDS TO DANIEL BWALA ON CATHOLIC BISHOPS, ONAIYEKAN & TINUBU MEETING

The public exchange between the Presidency and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria continues to attract widespread discussion in religious, political and civic spaces. Questions have been asked about the position of other Christian denominations on the issues raised following statements by Presidential Adviser Daniel Bwala that Cardinal John Onaiyekan spoke for the Catholic Church and not the entire Christian community. In this illuminating conversation, Most Rev. Sosthenes Eze, Archbishop of the Enugu Ecclesiastical Province of the Anglican Communion and Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Enugu North, shares his Anglican view of the growing debate. The discussion also covers the reaction of the Presidency to the Catholic Bishops after their meeting with President Bola Tinubu, Daniel Bwala’s statement that Cardinal Onaiyekan’s comments were politically biased, and the bigger role of Christian leaders to speak on issues of governance, economic hardship, national security and accountability. Archbishop Sosthenes Eze also discusses if the concerns raised by the Catholic Bishops resonate beyond a single denomination and the responsibility of religious leaders in engaging public policy whilst maintaining their spiritual mandate. The conversation offers significant insights into the convergence of faith, governance, democratic accountability and national development as Nigeria moves towards the 2027 polls.
