May 29: Politicians should be sworn in with Amadioha, Ogun – Ohanaeze Chief gain


Politicians should be sworn into office with African deities such as the Amadioha and Ogun, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu, has said.

Ibegbu stated this in a media chat with newsmen.

According to Ibegbu, using African deities to swear in politicians would prevent them from looting the government’s treasury while in office.

The public affairs analyst urged the National Assembly to enact laws that would permit politicians to be sworn in using African deities.

He said, “I advocate that all political office holders in Nigeria be sworn into office using Africa Oaths with our deities.

“Politicians are no longer afraid of the Bible and Qur’an and should be sworn in with African deities to instil fear and honesty in them. Unless this is done, our politicians will continue to loot us dry and mess up our lives.

“Politicians should swear with Amadioha, Ogun, Chockonoze, they will think twice before looting our patrimony. We, therefore, call on the National Assembly to pass a law to that effect immediately.”

Ibegbu also called for the abolition of security votes, adding that the “immunity clause and full-time national and state legislature, at Nigeria’s cost is inhumane and outrageous.

“80 percent of our resources go into servicing non-productive politicians and elites leaving the masses in agony,” he said.

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity  The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical.
