“Church has to be dismantled in Nigeria, I go to church and believe in God but we can’t have it that people stays in church Monday to Friday, morning till night” – Peter Obi Lament
Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has asserted that politics and the church in Nigeria need to be dismantled.
According to reports, the former Anambra State Governor shared this view in a snippet from the Honest Bunch Podcast with media personality Nedu.
According to Peter Obi, politics and church are attractive but have to be dismantled, and night vigil should be turned into the night shift so that people can be productive.
He said, “It’s attractive, politics and church, but it has to be dismantled.
“We are going to turn night vigil into night shift so that people can be productive.
“I go to church and believe in God but we can’t have it that people Monday to Friday, be in church morning and night.
“If I go from here to my house, the only sign boards you see are those of churches.
If you go to the East, it’s burials and that’s not a country.”
In other news, Peter Obi has condemned the viral video of some malnourished children who were arraigned in court on Friday in connection with their participation in the #EndBadGovernance protests.
The children were arraigned before a federal high court in Abuja on a 10-count charge involving treason, but a mild drama played out when some of them started slumping in court.
The suspects are said to have been in custody since August, when the protests took place, and they were arrested.
Reacting to the development, Obi described the happening as disturbing. He submitted that from their look, the children were poorly handled in custody.
The former Anambra State Governor said suspects deserve to be treated with dignity even as the nation’s laws presume them innocent until found guilty by a court.
He, therefore, called on the judge to halt what he described as an embarrassment.
