PRINCE MAMAH EXPRESSES WORRY OVER SILENCE BY CATHOLIC BISHOPS AND PRIESTS.
The last Governorship election on 18th March may have come and gone but the involvement of the Bishops of Enugu and Awgu Dioceses in the exercise was not in doubt.
One week to the Governorship election most Reverend Priests suddenly turned Spokespersons for the candidate of PDP, Peter Mbah during holy Mass and advising their flocks to vote for him.
Though in most of the Parishes they met with very stiff resistance from their audience most of, who were already fed up with twenty four years of poor leadership and were set to change the narrative
This could be seen from the National Assembly election and the State Assembly election that brought new winners from the labour Party leaving behind most politicians, who before the election were untouchables but were humbled during the election.
However, worried by the golden silence of the Bishops of Enugu and Awgu dioceses the labour Party Enugu State Presidential Council Coordinator, Prince Emeka Mammah has thrown up the poser: “I had thought that by now the Catholic church in Enugu would have condemned this day light robbery of 18th March election as announced by the INEC.”
Mammah noted that it seems they were comfortable with the massive rigging by the PDP, the numerous arrests of thugs in Isiuzo and Nsukka and Nkanu land padding of Votes and all the various snatching of Ballot boxes even by a serving member of House of Representatives and the shooting at Iheaka.
He wondered why the Bishops of Enugu and Awgu diocese have not condemned this shameful rigging.
“What really went wrong with the system or is this the best we can get, he queried?”
Going further, Mammah said that the former Governor of Enugu State, Dr Chimaroke Nnamani has been hitting the tweeter space accusing whoever is involved in Nkanu rigging for their selfishness and not rigging for him as well.
“Has some of the Reverends in Enugu and Awgu who suddenly turned to PDP Spokespersons gone deaf and blind to all these malfeasance.
“What a Country and legacies we are leaving to our younger generations, ” he concluded.
