Group Says Anambra’s Next Gov Should Not Be Catholic

Intersociety, a civil society organization based in the Southeast has called on the Catholic Church in Anambra State to remove itself from the forthcoming governorship election in the state saying that other religious tendencies in the state should be given a voice after 20 years.

The group in a statement issued on Tuesday has also called for strict zoning of the governorship ticket to Anambra South.

The group in a statement issued by chairman, Emeka Umeagbalasi and head of democracy and good governance, Chinwe Umeche said:

“A situation whereby the Catholic Church has consecutively produced the Governor of the State for the past nineteen years, from 29th May 2003 to 17th March 2022 is denominationally dictatorial and unfair.

“It is time for members of the Pentecostal and Anglican churches or even traditional religions to be given a chance. To ensure this, the Catholic Bishops and the Laity should join hands with others in search of a moderate and charismatic non Catholic as the next governor of Anambra State

“Intersociety is strongly against political domination, exclusion and segregation of any type in any area, space and time. It is not only that the gubernatorial seat of the State shall be shifted to the

Anambra South, but it must also be conceded to the Political Zone by consensus”, the group said.
