Politics CAN bans political campaigns in churches- Punch

[abujagirl]

The South-East chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria has banned political campaigns in churches across the zone.

It said it took the decision to avoid a repeat of last Saturday church stampede in Anambra State, where about 28 persons reportedly died.

The South-East CAN also asked the Federal Government to set up a panel of inquiry to investigate the remote causes of the incident.

The organisation said it was wrong for Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State to set up such panel, “as the governor cannot be a judge in his own case.”

Chairman of the group, Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, made this known while speaking with journalists in Enugu, on Monday.

Chukwuma said CAN was becoming worried on why politicians should carry their campaigns to churches.

Here I was trying to ascertain if the Lord has finally spoken that political campaigning in his house is not a godly act. That it took all this time and monetary donations from politicians before the Lord would speak out.

Alas my brethren, this plea is as a result of the stampede. Which is to say that had there been no stampede, the campaigns are accepted.

"...a panel is being set up to determine the remote cause of the incident". Permit me to guess the "remote cause" as campaigning in a church. Was I right? How far am I from the answer?

We need to start taking ourselves seriously in this nation...
