Protests: Dr. Paul Enenche reveals why Nigerians are angry, speaks on “the way of peace”
The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, has revealed the reason behind the nationwide outrage.
IDOMA VOICE reports that Nigerians, especially the youths have been on the streets, registering their displeasure over the abnormalities in the land.
The protests have persisted nationwide despite the disbandment of the police formation by the IG.
Reacting however, Dr. Enenche attributed the anger being expressed by Nigerians across the country to the loud impunity, nepotism, tribalism, religionalism, oppression and subjugation in the land
In a video broadcast entitled, The Way of Peace, the trained medical doctor said there can be no peace in the face of hunger and suppression.
According to him, “There is no peace where there is massive injustice, unfairness and lack of equity. There can be no peace in the face of oppression, suppression and subjugation of one people by another. There can be no peace in the face of nepotism, tribalism, regionalism, religionism and every form of such prejudice. There can be no peace in the midst of deprivation, poverty and hunger.”
Dr. Enenche also decried how a section of the country is in charge juicy positions in government while other zones look helplessly.
On the way forward, the cleric called for equity, fairness and justice.
He added, “People have clamoured for restructuring. It is the devolution of power; otherwise, there may be dissolution of union. It happened in other places and we pray and trust God it doesn’t happen in our nation.
“It is not time to play the ostrich and hide the under. What is not confronted cannot be conquered. In medicine we called something the debridement of wound, you expose wounds in order to repair them. “It is time to tell the truth because people have been suppressed, subdued, subjugated and treated as if they don’t reason.
“Nigeria is one of the most intelligent nations in the world. Our doctors and our professionals are the most intelligent in the world. It is time for us to sit up and say these things must be corrected.”
The cleric urged protesters not go violent while expressing their anger.
He added, “As for every protest going on, two wrongs cannot make a right. Protests are encouraged to be peaceful and calm. No destruction of lives and properties in any form. Let lives not flow because of abnormalities in the land.”
