The inability of Abia indigenes to return home for Christmas was basically because of insecurity rather than hardship, The Methodist Archbishop of Umuahia Archdiocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Chibuzo Raphael Opoko, said.
He stated this in Umuahia Monday while interacting with newsmen stating that insecurity fueled hardship for the people.
The cleric said, “People did not come home because of hardship as such. If there is hardship and there is security, people would come. But there is insecurity, there is hardship and people are suffering, people are dying.
“Look at fuel in Umuahia, it is four hundred naira for a litre. How many people can buy this? People have not even seen food on their table for them to come. So, where is the governance when fuel is between N400.00 and N450.00 a litre?
“Look at a bag of rice, it is now N40, 000.00 for a bag when you heard that in the North, they are selling N28, 000.00 for a bag. So, what kind of a thing is this? Are we not in the same Nigeria?

“We should be able to make up our minds to say that Nigeria will be well.
“This is because we are all contributors to the problem that Nigeria is facing. We keep silent, even the press who can build or use their pen to destroy society. The clergymen have a lot to be blamed for because some of them have decided to keep silent because they align with the forces that want to keep this place in darkness.”
