The Anglican Church has Banned Politicians From Speaking on the Altar, a Week After Nyesom Wike’s Thanksgiving
The Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion has made a strong decision that no more politicians will be allowed to speak on its altar during church services.
The new rule came just one week after former Rivers State governor and current Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, held a big thanksgiving service at St. Peter’s Church in Port Harcourt.
According to the Anglican Church, the altar is a holy place meant only for preaching the word of God and not for political speeches or campaigns.
They said politicians are welcome to attend church and worship, but they won’t be allowed to speak from the altar again.
Many people believe the church made this decision because politicians have been using church events to gain support and make themselves look good in public, especially during political tension or before elections.
By making this move, the Anglican Church have sent a clear message, the house of God is not a stage for politics.
