Support FG In Fight Against Terrorism – Ndukuba Urges Leaders

The Primate, Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba has called on leaders at all levels to work with the Federal Government in the ongoing fight against terrorism and other criminal activities in the country.

Most Reverend Ndukuba who made the call in Abuja, at the consecration of fifteen newly elected Anglican Bishops said the support of the local community in providing necessary information would strengthen the operations of the security agencies.

According to the Anglican Primate, leaders must be ready to make sacrifice and place national interest above personal ambition.

Ndukuba stressed that, “As I’m talking to you now, we have some of our pastors who are kidnapped with their families, taken from their church and they have not been released. It’s not something we will deny. And if the government cannot handle it, it is good for them to seek help.

Archbishop Henry Ndukuba Reverend Ndukuba charged the newly consecrated Bishops to be good shepherds, promote good morals and leave by example sworthy of emulation.

In his words, “they too will be instruments in God’s hands in order to feed the flock of Christ, teach the word of God, proclaim the gospel boldly and soundly and faithfully throughout the world. But above all, God is raising them as change agents and I pray that they will indeed be the prophets of God in their communities and dioceses where they will serve.”

In His Sermon, the Retired Bishop of Kebbi State, Most Reverend Edmund Akanya admonished the clerics to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and bring hope to the downtrodden in the society.
