Owo Anglican Bishop urges FG to make Nigeria a secular state. The Bishop of Owo Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev James Adedayo Oladujoye at the weekend advised the federal government to start working towards making Nigeria a Secular State. Oladunjoye noted that such would not rule out religion in the nation but nobody would look at Nigeria with the eyes of religion. The Bishop, who stated this in his Presidential address he delivered to the Second Session of the Eleventh Synod held at St. Andrew’s Cathedral Church in Owo, stressed that late Bola Ige’s group were right in the last Constitutional Review Committee, when they moved that Nigeria should be recognized as a Secular State. The Anglican Cleric added that implementing the committee’s report, would make Nigerians accept that the President or a State Governor can be an adherent of any religion and that nobody can impose religion over other people. He attributed the current insecurity challenges facing the country on the forceful plan by some people to impose their religion on other Nigerians. Oladunjoye also said the country may only be fighting a lost battle against Boko Haram, if President Goodluck Jonathan decided not to mention names of their sponsors. dailypost.ng/2014/07/26/owo-anglican-bishop-urges-fg-make-nigeria-secular-state/
