IN CASE YOU MISSED THESE FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNE

In his sermon at the thanksgiving service, Archbishop Akinfenwa decried that the federal government appeared to have lost the capacity to tackle security.

He decried the latest attack on St Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State, enthusing how many Nigerians will remain alive should the killings across the country continue at its present rate.

Akinfenwa bemoaned the nonchalant attitude toward tackling insecurity and wondered whether the Buhari administration had become helpless because it is winding down.

Akinfenwa said: “In Nigeria, our government appears to have lost the capacity to protect our people. You see evidence of this around us. The latest of it is the incident in Owo. Is this how we shall continue to waste precious lives? Can President Muhammadu Buhari not do anything again? May 29, 2023, is still far.

“If these killings continue at this rate, how many people will remain by May 29, 2023? This nonchalant attitude to the safety of lives is too much.”

The celebration also saw her donate consumables, mattresses, household items, and toiletries to the Oluyole Chesire Home, Ibadan.
